chasing that block of wood sucks....

Very good idea I gotta try it cuz I got crazy from my Lee pro 1000

Exaxt same thing happened to me, thats why i am here. I was thinking same thing, jb weld since i dont have or even know anyone with a tig welder.

Ironically I have the same problem, but was using a Router, I was so upset that night I stop everything and put the project on hold to stop and think. I thought of using lead to repair like was done on Auto Bodies before Bondo, then thought of JB Weld. I plan to resume the project in the Spring with warmer weather in my Garage. I will use you idea of the thin strip on Aluminum. Unlike your Lower mine was engraved to resemble a late 1960's GM Hydramatic......I was sick when the Mill Bit started to cut through the bottom. I plan to finish with Brownells Aluma-Hyde Grey Parkerizing. This shade of Aluma-Hyde is pretty close to real Parkerizing in color. Hopefully the Aluma-Hyde will hide any uneven surfaces after lite sanding

I use a 5D tactical jig and a router. Much easier and no chatter. 👌

I'm new to reloading myself and I was wondering how I was going to attach my press to the bench cuz I don't want to leave it where I'm reloading it I want to be able to take it away thanks for the idea

Good job . :)

I know this is an old video, but it seems like you are struggling. Get the fine strainers from Frankford, they fit under the caps and rinse a couple of times in the sink, then use a dry media tumbler separator. Instead of separating the corn or walnut media, I use it to separate the pins from the brass. Put the pins on a tray and let them air dry and the brass how ever you choose.

Nicely done

My issue with the jig set up is nasty. The jig doesn't fit (mill out) for all of the drop in Triggers on the market. Rise Armament Triggers don't fit as I have three of them and tried them all. 80% customer service was quick to respond but did NOT have any resolution or quick fix. They advertise on their web site for CMC and the trouble shooting tech recommends Trigger Tech Diamond. I'll be trying Trigger Tech Duty as it's the only one that fits my budget. Not happy about the fitment. Also my WOT trigger won't fit for the same reason. Anyone who needs more info or pictures of the issues I found let me know.

Im replying to your comment. TH-cam deleted my account for rasist comments on the video about Eminem with Tony Yayo. Thats why i turn off the comments fyi

I like the lee reloading stand. I put tripod casters on all three legs and essentially I move my reloading station anywhere and still reload shotshell and metallic.

Does it make your day to be a jerk to a 9 year old? If you don’t like seeing my daughters page, stay off TH-cam. You’re the one watching every single video she’s posted. Seems like predator behavior to me.

what lee press is that?

*First time seeing a overweight school shooter lmfao* 🤣🤣🤣

What does one of those pins do to a bore if you neglect to get them all separated?

Isn’t soda delicious?

Great gideo

I have the same tumbler. A little tip i use a pant strainer from Sherwin Williams for 5 gallons paint.

When you describe the spring loaded table as you position the brass on the Dillon Super Swage, please note that there is a small allen screw on the right side that you can lock to hold the position of the “table” so that you can quickly position the brass to the correct height to swage.

I used to dry tumble till I bought the FART machine. I don't use the pins ! No more breathing the lead dust from dry tumbling.

now that it has been 2 years how is the jb weld holding, will it hold up to heavy use?

This is old but you can mill the whole bottom out. You can no longer use a milspec trigger but you CAN still use a drop in trigger. Just have a big ol hole in the bottom!!!

better to weld up the mistakes and remill

Great video. For anybody that happens to have an old cell phone laying around you can use the vibrating motor out of it for this.

I got the same issue but in 9mm from Win,,,3/4 had the crimps compared to the rest having the actual stamp with 0 crimps,,its a headache using the drill bit

add magnet to that wood block

Great explanation but there is one major error. At 9:05 you explain that the smaller step down is for 9mm. This is wrong. There is a separate adapter for 9mm. Dillon part number 62168. If you use the tool and put a 9mm on the adapter you show, it is not long enough to bottom out on the case. It will only flare the case mouth out as the swager pushes against the case. The case to be swaged must fit all the way to the bottom of the backing rod.

Happened to me twice in a row on 2 lowers, I put some jb steel stick in there and they work like charms. But I ordered more lowers and figured out a better way to prevent this from happening.

I went too deep and its uneven. Wouldn't a drop in trigger work fine? Since its secured by 2 pins.

Why not use two more bolts in place of the clamps?

...I like your adaptation of the Lee case feeder and collator...I had two Lee Pro 1000s that used it...it's the simplest, cheapest and best (IMHO)...I also use plywood bases for all of my presses - including my Dillon 550B. That way I can move them anywwere I want - at any time

Do you take of th gorilla tape when everything is finished I just wanna make sure

What epoxy did u use?

U ever fire your ar with a little hole in the lower, I don't think it would bother it too much... just loose a little pressure

I had to re drill some trigger pin holes, finally fixed them, do you know of any good hardening spray paint I could go over it with to make sure they don't woller out?

Nice video. Just bought the Dillon 600 and the Hornady swager system(for my lock-n-load). Planning on the Hornady for military 308 brass and Dillon for everything else. Your tool for cutting crimps is crude and has a mile of run out in it... Not here to poke fun of that but if I can suggest a zero flute countersink & deburring tool 90° I bet you will find it to be the perfect tool for the job.

i had as similar event except i was using a 1/8 th bit for pilot holes where did the drill bit break right smack dab in the middle of trigger hole area. so i tried to drill around the broken bit & the rescue bit deflected of to the side now i have a hole where it should not be. i tried jb weld last night but added some aluminum millings to the mix strong but not strong enough. tonight i was almost done when the whole repair came apart. this is where i hope your fix will help. P.S. you can use a drill press trick is not to be in a hurry DO NOT PUSH IT also with drill off press down on the bit this helps keep everything aligned & keep the bit as close to the work area cuts down on torque which causes the chuck to quickly exit the press. Ask me how i know. anyway i'm going to give your method a shot. Hopefully the third time will be the charm.

Man, I'm so glad to see this. I just finished my 1st gun and I did the same thing except I took off a smidgen too much metal on the side. So I wound up busting a pea sized hole in the righthand side of my lower. I was thinking the same thing I just got some more JB Weld and some filler also. Never thought of aluminum tape! Great 💡 So now I'm going back in and do final mods. It shoots well, I just f'd it up with all that drilling and grinding. I enjoyed the hell out of it though and will be more careful on my next one. This was awesome man, thanks again!!

I just milled out too much and need to do this so glad I found this video

That's why you don't use a drill press lmao

Any suggestions for polymer?

OMG that home made wood dowel is so out of true.

There is another swager for the Dillon too. th-cam.com/video/0GSdlsKHwsc/w-d-xo.html Super Fast as its on the press + Case feeder no faster way to swage.

Very nice video, good information, but dang, $135 for the Dillon. I might just set all the 5.56/7.62 brass aside for now.

All that for a bad job why not do one right.jbweld is not Right just start over do it right.put the time in to do the job right that you tried to fix a wrong

Who in the hell is the mouth breather operating the camera.

hyperlink for yellow "dust pan" like tray? thanks

drill bit sized to the primer pocket isn't making the pocket loose. really the head isn't where you are going to have problems as your bolt face should be tight enough to hold the primer in place. if you have primer falling out you have other problems than a slight bevel at the end of the pocket.

The Dillon is more expensive and is independent of the press used. I would go for the Dillon
