Corbin Csp 1 Buller Swaging Instructions Manual

							The Corbin S-PRESS works with these dies:
RCorbin type -S Bullet Swage Dies (1-inch body, 5/8-24 shank). Die
fits the ram, punch used in floating punch holder. Self-ejection.
RCorbin type -M Bullet Swage Dies (7/8-inch body, 5/8-24 shank).
Die fits the ram, punch used in floating punch holder. Self-ejection.
RCorbin type -R Bullet Swage Dies (7/8-14 threads, button/T-slot
punch). Die fits press head, punch fits reloading adapter.
RCorbin type -R Draw Dies (7/8-14 threads, botton/T-slot punch).
Die fits press head directly, punch fits reloading adapter.
RCorbin type -S or -M Draw Dies (7/8-14 threads, 5/8-24 tpi punch).
Die fits press head directly, punch screws into ram.
RRCBS-type reloading dies (7/8-14 threads, button/T-slot shell
holder). Dies fit press head directly, punch fits reloading adapter in
the ram
RAll other Corbin dies whose catalog number ends in -S will work in
the 
S-PRESS (use the short stop pin with slotted punches, long
ejection pin for all other punches)
Bullet swage dies have both an internal and an external punch.  The internal
punch stays inside the swage die during operation.  The external punch is used
to push components into the die and apply pressure to them. The FPH-1-S
floating punch holder is used to position the external punch for different weights
and lengths of bullets with the same set of dies.
The stop pin, in the front of the press, passes through the ram and stops the
downward movement of the internal punch causing automatic ejection. Point
forming dies have a long internal punch head pinned through a hole, so that the
punch does not move with the ram.
Most other swage dies use a punch that
travels with the ram, and simply rests on
the stop pin during the last part of the
down stroke (to eject). The
internal point form punch
was previously made with
a slot in the head. The new
stronger style uses a hole through the
punch head. When using the older
style punches (with a slot), use the
short stop pin. All other times, use
the long stop pin.

Options
RCSP-A Arbor-press type screw-in anvil set (top and bottom), use
your press with arbor-press type dies, or as a bearing or sight press
RCSP-B Steel bench stand with storage shelf (12-inch height), puts
the die mouth at eye level where you can see the alignment
RCSP-C Handle retainer clip (kit), holds the handle securely in the
up position so that bumping the press or bench wont cause it to fall
RCSP-S Self-supporting floor stand with comfortable deck, for easy
operation without a bench: in an apartment, den or trade-show.
RFPH-1-QC Quick-change T-slotted punch holder, lets you slip the
external punch out to load longer than usual parts quickly
RFPH-1-S Spare floating punch holder for pre-set repeatable
adjustments to weight, style, or tip opening of the bullet
Dual Stroke Operation
Reloading and jacket drawing often require a longer stroke, with less power
then bullet swaging. The 
S-PRESS features a dual-stroke operation, so you
can have either more stroke, or more power, whichever is required for the job.
If you dont use the right position of the toggle-to-ram pin, the position of the ram will
be wrong for the operation, and the operation may not work.
RShort Stroke: In all swaging operations, the ram should be in the
short stroke mode (ram pin should be in the set of holes which
travels in the smaller arc). If the ram does not go high enough (in
drawing or reloading), check the pin that joins the ram with the
toggle arms...it is probably in the wrong set of holes! Move it to the
long stroke set.
RLong Stroke: In nearly all reloading and drawing operations
(unless otherwise instructed) the ram must be in the long stroke
mode (ram pin should be in the set of toggle holes that travels in
the wider arc). If the ram wont go all the way to the top, or the
handle travel seems to be blocked before it reaches either end of
the stroke (during swaging), you probably have the pin that joins
the ram to the toggle arms in the wrong set of holes!  Move it to the
short stroke set.
Moving the toggle-to-ram pin:
Look at the lower part of the press ram and find the single steel pin that
connects it to the two toggle arms on either side of it.  Notice that
the toggle arm on the right side has a heavy grenade pin retainer
projecting from the end. This link retainer pin passes close by a
groove in the ram pin, and keeps it from sliding out
sideways.
èGrasp and pull the grenade pin out of the
press entirely.
èMove the ram so you can access the ends of the
ram pin, and gently push the ram pin to the left,
until the ram is free (the stop pin will keep the ram
from falling completely out of the press).
èMove the ram and the toggle until you
can easily push the pin, by hand, back into
the other set of holes in the toggle arms.
èReplace the grenade pin retainer to
keep the ram pin in position (failure to do so
may result in the pin working out and
damaging the press links)Short
