I am getting done with my 3rd and last. Lifetime supply of 30 cal. checks.
These are just a couple things i have learned
I made a scrap wood guide that holds the checkmaker in place, acts as a guide for feeding the strips easier, and is marked so there is very little waist between checks. Most of the time i leave less than a 1/16 of an inch between checks.
I usually lube the cutter shaft for the check. At the beginning of each check making session with my Lanolin based case lube. Even with the lube some times the upper part of the check maker gets stuck when it is coming up after making a check. I found if you slightly twist the aluminum up on the far side it helps the upper part of the CM come up on its own. Kevin
