Locking the Lock N Load Bushings
David Wile
Looking at my press last night I believe this would work just fine. It will be quickly reversible with no permanent changes to anything except the LNL bushings and they will still be fully useable.
Please forgive the crudeness of this drawing. I've been buried at work selling real estate and didn't have much time to devote to this.
It will require a round plate the thickness of the top flange (or thinner) of the LNL bushings. The center hole is optional. The edge of the bushings where the drawing shows the plate overlapping the bushings needs to be ground away. This grinding needs to be done slowly and in small increments so as to not remove too much metal.
When the grinding on all bushings is done simply install the bushings, put the plate in place, install your dies and the bushings will be prevented from turning.
Or, at least this is the theory. I have not tested it. It is only an idea that I've spent a few minutes on. Feel free to improve upon it. Let me know if it works. Hope this helps!
