Star Reloaders / STAR vs PHELPS

« on: November 16, 2011, 07:59:25 pm »

I've been editing eBay for Star Equipment........

I've noticed that several 'Sellers' list their parts as the following:


dcalder727
Star - Phelps 25 acp Tool head and shell plate
&
billings3
STAR or PHELPS 9mm TOOL HEAD with 7/8x14 DIES AND SHELL HOLDER PLATE

Can't really tell about the Shell-Plate, But, pretty sure it's 'PHELPS', as well as ALL THE TOOL HEADS ARE
'PHELPS'

BEWARE..

I'm inquiring about these two Holes.............

A hole in the TOOL HEAD on the left side is un-threaded and about 3/4" down
from the top of the tool head........The Hole is Just below the Key, you would
have to tap the Key down to utilize that hole to remove the Key, these holes are
on my Star Tool Heads........
The other screw hole I'm referring to is above the TAPER PIN hole at the rear of
the CRANK SHAFT BEARING, which is threaded.............

ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THESE HOLES WERE USED FOR
