any updates ??
Sadly no more work has been done on it, the shop got very busy though that has since ended.
I have been thinking about it and Id love to finish it, i just need some more inspiration for designing the base plate and ram attachment for the shell holders, i have some ideas for those.
Most of the hard work was done designing and manufacturing the linkage so honestly i feel its over halfway.
After the last election i am unsure if i will ever get to use it for its intended purposes.
Well, After tinkering with designs I have some guidelines for the ram adapter to the shell-holders, and the base plate for the main body
The ram adapter allows positioning in any degree of rotation, it will lock to the ram with 2 setscrews pushing on a taper.
In the top of the adapter it will have 7/16-14 threads for various large shell holders and ram prime systems already available
This press has been bugging me, I would like to get it finished.
As always id love to hear your criticism.

The saga continues, took about 4 hours to set everything up and get the profile machined out.
I still need to add the holes and modify the press body so it fits together correctly,..
The press body itself still needs many hours of machining to bevel each side/back, plus drill and tap holes in the bottom to attach the base.
boy oh boy do i ever love over-complicating things.

ok now I see what you are doing for a base.... wow, but looks nice 
Ty ty! things should flow a little better when the main body is profiled, it looks a little block like as it sits.ok now I see what you are doing for a base.... wow, but looks nice
Ty! Yea working thicker material takes time, this is also not soft steel, there was 20lbs of chips come off that base.
The base will be attached to the press body by four 1/2-13 grade 12.9 bolts, i could weld it together but having things easy to come apart is handy
