    HELP - to machine a seating stem

    Any of you clever fellas on here that can help me machine a seating stem?

    My nice new Forster seating die was cutting into my pills which i managed to fix with some lapping but its still leaving quite a dent. Would prefer it machined and lapped properly.

    Put it in a drill press, take one of the Dremel tapered stones, the ones that look kinda like a bullet, and fit it in to a battery drill, swing the drill press table aside, turn drill press on, turn the battery drill on in reverse of what the drill press is doing, slowly raise the stone in to the seating stem keeping it vertical. Shouldnt take much. And if you want it more polished than the stone does it, plaster it with Brasso every 10 seconds.
