Arbor press?

Pathfinder76 · #1 07-10-2019, 10:50 PM

I’m thinking of going to L.E. Wilson seaters and am looking at an arbor press. Looked at the Sinclair and K&M but am wondering if I could get into something cheaper by buying up here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

When I started using Wilson In-Line seaters, I bought this one from Busy Bee Tools. I think I ordered it online and had it delivered to their north Edm store. It was on sale and cost about $75.00 at the time.

I should add ... when I purchased the Wilson in-lines, I tried two types...the stainless units with a micrometer top ... and the “regular”. If you look at the picture, a micrometer model is on the press, and a standard is behind to the right. I recommend the one with the micrometer top as it is much easier to use....especially when tinkering with different bullets.

Cheap is my middle name.I made this for my Wilson dies for BR cartridges,7/8-14 bolt shortened and faced off,drilled,tapped and Loctited a 1/2'' bolt into the top for ease of threading into press.Doing this again I would turn the bolt head to a thinner dimension,but this works.
Screw it in from the under side of my Rockchucker ,remove the shell holder from the ram,hold the die with the base on top of the ram(as shown in 260's image) and raise the ram,die to contact base of bolt head.
Once I pick up enough range brass and smelt them into ingots for the scrap dealer,

I'd consider the 21st. Century Arbor press.
Although Sinclair runs package deals some times for Arbor press's and Wilson dies.
The Bald Eagle has been discontinued for a while now.
