Re: LEE CLASSIC CAST and CLASSIC TURRET Presses

IS THE PICTURE BELOW SHOWING A PART FROM A CLASSIC
TURRET OR FROM A CLASSIC CAST SINGLE STAGE PRESS?

Based on info here and elsewhere I've eliminated LEE from

the competition for my money. I ask though, if you have a

press with one of these parts, and LEE is sending out bad

replacement parts when these break, could a guy possibly

get a clone part custom made by a metal shop USING A

DIFFERENT metal, {say steel} and replace the part BEFORE

it breaks? {and makes for a crumby couple of weeks until

the unreliable replacement comes}
Quote:

The Lee Classic has a history of breaking the toggle.
I know right after the press came out there was a
problem with that and as late as last November the
free replacement parts were still failing.



The part is made of zinc.

The part above came apart and flew out with velocity
when it broke and put a chip in the paint of my friends
classic corvette...
