Extra Threaded Die Hole in Tool Head
« on: January 27, 2017, 02:28:06 pm »
A while back I saw a "Star" tool head on Ebay that appeared to have an extra threaded die hole.  It was in the position where the empty cases are inserted. (Where a Hulme case feeder is mounted)

Anyone familiar with this or how this mod would be utilized?

Sorry, I don't have a picture.

It's a Phelps tool head, and it has obviously been modified, but I can't think of a purpose for the hole in that position.
