[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 608099, member: 39764"] There are a couple (here) with non-metallic slide pads, however most are bronze and lubricated, either flood or injected via oilways in the pads... We even have a tryout Bliss with alemite fittings on the slideways.... Line boring and threading is the accepted machining practice in production machining and I'm 99% sure that's how the press frame is machined. Thread chasing is reserved for prototype application. I know, I do prototype work here all the time... Wear as it pertains to any reloading press (which can't be compared to the cycling of any commercial press because the cycling rate will almost always be many times greater than a hand operated reloading press) really don't apply. What does apply is proper spot lubrication of sliding surfaces to extend the useful life of the reloading press. Everyone has their 'favorite' reloading press. Mine not be yours and vice-versa. All reloading presses can bebefit from proper lubrication of surfaces that move in relationship to each other nothwithstanding. [/QUOTE]
