Options
R CSP-A Arbor-press type screw-in anvil set (top and bottom), use
your press with arbor-press type dies, or as a bearing or sight press
R CSP-B Steel bench stand with storage shelf (12-inch height), puts
the die mouth at eye level where you can see the alignment
R CSP-C Handle retainer clip (kit), holds the handle securely in the
up position so that bumping the press or bench won't cause it to fall
R CSP-S Self-supporting floor stand with comfortable deck, for easy
operation without a bench: in an apartment, den or trade-show.
R FPH-1-QC Quick-change T-slotted punch holder, lets you slip the
external punch out to load longer than usual parts quickly
R FPH-1-S Spare floating punch holder for pre-set repeatable
adjustments to weight, style, or tip opening of the bullet
Dual Stroke Operation
Reloading and jacket drawing often require a longer stroke, with less power
then bullet swaging. The S-PRESS features a dual-stroke operation, so you
can have either more stroke, or more power, whichever is required for the job.
If you don't use the right position of the toggle-to-ram pin, the position of the ram will
be wrong for the operation, and the operation may not work.
R Short Stroke: In all swaging operations, the ram should be in the
short stroke mode (ram pin should be in the set of holes which
travels in the smaller arc). If the ram does not go high enough (in
drawing or reloading), check the pin that joins the ram with the
toggle arms...it is probably in the wrong set of holes! Move it to the
long stroke set.
R Long Stroke: In nearly all reloading and drawing operations
(unless otherwise instructed) the ram must be in the long stroke
mode (ram pin should be in the set of toggle holes that travels in
the wider arc). If the ram won't go all the way to the top, or the
handle travel seems to be blocked before it reaches either end of
the stroke (during swaging), you probably have the pin that joins
the ram to the toggle arms in the wrong set of holes! Move it to the
short stroke set.
Moving the toggle-to-ram pin:
Look at the lower part of the press ram and find the single steel pin that
connects it to the two toggle arms on either side of it. Notice that
the toggle arm on the right side has a heavy "grenade pin" retainer
projecting from the end. This link retainer pin passes close by a
groove in the ram pin, and keeps it from sliding out
sideways.
èGrasp and pull the "grenade pin" out of the
press entirely.
èMove the ram so you can access the ends of the
ram pin, and gently push the ram pin to the left,
until the ram is free (the stop pin will keep the ram
from falling completely out of the press).
èMove the ram and the toggle until you
can easily push the pin, by hand, back into
the other set of holes in the toggle arms.
èReplace the "grenade pin" retainer to
keep the ram pin in position (failure to do so
may result in the pin working out and
damaging the press links)
