Inline Fab Co-AX parts

[wburke2010]

I am picking up a Ultra Mount for my Co-Ax and saw that they had new linkage arms that are supposed to give you more room.

Has anyone used them?

Are they worth it or not?

They are about half way down on this page. http://inlinefabrication.com/Lyman_Co-Ax_Redding.html

Walter,
I also just placed an order for the Co Ax Ultra mount and the extra clearance linkages. Not sure if it is a solution looking for a problem, but what little I have used my CO Ax I think they might have some merit.

 

[wburke2010]

Well I know I wanted the strong mount to get it up off my bench, and I also ordered the LED lights just for the co ax because the other ones I had from him were great but wouldn't work for that press and saw the linkage, I went ahead and bought them also I just said what the heck it is only $30 bucks so I won't cry if they aren't too much better.

i dont really think there is too much benefit to the linkage but i like the looks of the lights and the trays. those would speed me up i think.

 

[wburke2010]

I had some of his lights on one of my other presses and they work great it makes a huge difference when the light is close and you can see what you are doing.

Well I got the linkage, ultra mount, and the lights in today. I really like the ultra mount and think it is well made and will work great. The lights are also great which was to be exspected since I already had one set. I got the linkage all setup also, I wasn't sure if they were going to be useful, but after getting them on I think it gives me a better view inside the press and will make it a little easier to get cases in and out, since I ordered everything else I think the linkage are worth it.

Got my arms today also. A few quick impressions but without actually using the arms with any dies yet.
This might make more sense to actual Co-Ax users.
They are nicely made. The finish is good and they fit without any problems.
The curved shape really does help in inserting and removing the cartridge. It really is more convenient.
Now some other stuff. Because of the curved shape of the linkage the positive mechanical stops ( stubs) on the upper arm yoke
are defeated. They do not bear ( stop) against the linkage like the original links.
This causes two situations. First the length of the stroke is increased and now the press will cam over.
The length of the stroke is now determined by the lower jaw hitting the insides of the upper arm yoke.
But, once again, this is a quick review without using any dies yet.

I thought exactly the same thing, let us know how you get on as I'm interested in upgrading too.

I love the ultra mount. The only issue that I'm having is the height, which is 100% my fault. I had intended on mounting the co ax directly to my bench so I built the bench very high but when I found out about the inline fab mount I had to have one. It actually works pretty good because its so high that I can see everything!

Apologies for bringing an old thread to the top, but now that this increased access linkage has been out for awhile, can anyone else report their experience.

 

[wburke2010]

I used them for about ten mins then took them off and put them on a shelf somewhere. They do give more room and let you see what you are doing but as noted above the press will now cam over and doesn't stop like it normally would, which is what I really liked about the press. If I could do it over again I would not buy them again as the cam over issue is a no go for me.

I ended up using only one of the arms. I placed one curved arm on the right side of the press which allows me
easy access to place the bullet on cartridge for the seating function. The other arm I kept straight so
the press does not cam over and has a positive mechanical stop.

This is what I was thinking.
I always load the press with my left hand so I only need one link; I would not give up the positive stop by using both.
Interested in selling me the other curved link?

Sorry. Do not want to break up a pair just in case.
