Star Lubricator & Resizers / Older Star sizer seized- need assist..
« on: February 01, 2013, 10:22:19 am »
I have an older Star Sizer that has a main part seized. The part in question is the shaft that holds (1) the handle on the right and (2) the actuator arm that moves the punch up and down the two vertical shafts. There appears to a pin of some type running through the center, as it is visible on the left and appears to go through almost to the right, just shy of the part that holds the handle. Newer Stars and Magma's do not have this pin. Also, this Star is mounted with an air-powered actuator ram that activates the "handle" for lack of a better word. It has worked fine since I bought it a couple of years ago, keeping in mind, that I use it everyday.

Question is- Can I punch out this pin with a drift type punch and not cause any damage or is there something else that needs to be done first. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone wants a picture of the set-up with the air ram, I can supply one. The operation is great at saving the strain/repetition on my right arm.
Thanks in advance- Rick at R & R Bullets, Maitland, ONtario Canada.

Star Lubricator & Resizers / Star sizer/lubricator

My little business does not need the high volume Magma sizer/lubricator ($7000.00). My arm is getting quite tired by the end of a session of a 1000 or so bullets.(retired guy and feeling older after the sizing session ;(
I was hoping to convert the manual Star/magma sizer to operate with an electric motor and offset cam setup that would activate the up/down motion of the sizer.
