[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1876675, member: 93138"] Traditionally reloading presses tried to absolutely co-axially align the ram with the threaded hole for the die. The better presses emphasized rigidity in the design and material selection along with tight tolerances to eliminate any slop or play is the system. It can only be so good and then the ram can't move and the dies won't thread into the press. The Co-Ax takes all of that and tosses it on its head. Allow the die to float, allow the case holder to float. The case will align itself in the die if both can float enough to achieve alignment at all. Case alignment to the die is the most important thing. The rest of the mechanism is just how we get there & generate the forces needed to perform the desired operations. This exactly what an arbor press does, the case aligns itself with the die, in this situation it is independent of the press' own structure. I'm heading toward the arbor press solution my self. I bought a combo press from Harrell's Precision that works with both die types in the expectation that I'll be taking it to the range.
