mabuse00 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm just a little curious: https://www.woodysrocks.com/store/p364/5%2F8_Insert_tooling_with_100_cohete_tubes.html#/When you take a look at this picture - the second rammer from the right side, what is it's purpose and how is it used?

Carbon796 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Its probably something to accommodate BM. In the final increment of tubed inserts. ( think whistles ). Similar to tooling, sometimes used with pillbox stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'd agree. I haven't seen FW401, but I'd suspect that rammer with the flattened side is used to make either Saettines or pillbox stars. Based on Ned's ability to reinvent and over complicate things, I'd say pillbox stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckufarley Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I remember lloyd talking about a flat, off centered nozzle for a go getter type insert a while back. That's what popped into my head, but I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabuse00 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Ramming the composition around the fuse seems like a reasonable explanation. I had to google first what "Saettines" are but it makes sense, so does priming pillbox stars with BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabuse00 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 I'm under the impression that leeching all the valuable information so directly without ever buying anything might leave a bad taste, so I was a little too shy to do that (I have practical reasons not to buy from the US) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetICouldMake1 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Mumbles nailed it: Special Ned tools for building things Ned's special way. The whole deal is a set of custom tooling to make inserts that can be made using a $2 length of aluminum bar stock. Or your fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
