Bakes,
Don't get me wrong, the crusher is capable of doing the job including resizing and at the price they are one of the cheapest long throw presses.
Basicly the crusher uses a bodged version of the compound linkage geometry used on presses with throws capable of only standard length cases.
The bodge includes kicking the handle out at an angle and this gives the action of the press a spongy feel.
They do however have a large dia ram and their "O" frame is pretty solid.
Comparing the crusher to my 25 year old master symplex though, and the action on the crusher does appear to be in the pussy class.
My old master symplex can handle some bullet swaging chores ok but try the same job in the crusher and it struggles.
