K+M's Precision Reloading Arbor Press
The K+M Precision Reload Arbor Press is a robust press ideal for use with inline seating Dies. Suitable for home use on your loading bench as well as on the shooting range. A reference scale is engraved on the column of the press for height adjustments, and a die placement target on the base helps position your die under the press.
One of the most popular choices among precise reloaders, this arbor press offers the ability to accurately position the ball in the neck of the sleeve. The new linkage design provides smooth operation and essential feedback to the reloader. Its compact size makes it easy to use on your loading bench or on the shooting range. There are mounting holes in the base for fixed installation.
With the included T wrench, you can easily loosen the screws on the side for height adjustments. In addition, the high column option provides additional flexibility for use with larger cartridges, such as the .50BMG.
When determining the proper power set, the choice between the standard and low power set is based on neck tension. For light tension, between .0015 and .002 inches, the low force set with a range of 0-50 lbs is ideal. The standard force set has a range of 0-150 lbs and is suitable for almost any tension.
A reference scale is engraved on the column of the press for easy height adjustment, and there is a die placement target on the base to position your die correctly under the press. Use the K+M die base when using a neck size die.
Using the K+M arbor press.
- The ability to "feel" the ball as it is placed in the sleeve is very important to achieve consistency and accuracy. Our newly designed knee lift arbor press has a very smooth and much improved feel to give the reloader that critical sensitive feedback.
- Perfectly suited for use with in-line ball placement and bush neck dies such as LE Wilson.
- Compact size for use on the loading table or shooting range.
- No need to permanently mount the press on your loading bench: however, mounting holes are provided if desired.
- The working height of the press is adjustable from 0" to 7.5" or 0" to 6" when one of the power packs is used.
- The height can be adjusted by loosening 2 screws on the right side of the press head with the supplied Allen wrench.
- 1" press ram stroke.
- Two available force packs are mounted on the ram to measure the force required to place the ball. The standard force package uses a dial indicator where 0.001" deflection equals one pound of force. The maximum force is about 150 pounds. A low force pack allows a more sensitive range for competition shooters who place bullets with very light neck tension. This requires a custom K&M dial gauge (P/N DI50) and the maximum force is about 50 lbs.
