Go-Getter Tools

These Go-Getter tools have been designed to work specifically with the paper tubes sold by Ned Gorski. 
The tools were developed with the help of both Ned Gorski and Wayne Jansen who each had their own
preference to how they were used. 

The Go-Getter kits are made of all non sparking materials, Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Delrin plastic. 
Each basic kit comes with an aluminum sleeve, one solid ram and one spindle ram with three stainless steel core tips.
The stainless steel tips are easily changed out for other tips using a pair of stainless steel set screws in the end of the spindle ram.
The rams feature knurled handles and also have an optional* 1.5" rounded Delrin cap that relieves some of the pressure
on the palm of your hand while hand using the tools.
*Delrin cap must be removed if being used in a press or with a mallet.

Usage of the tool is very similar between the two versions.

Ned Gorski method: 

Fill the getter tube with dampened comp and using the short ram,
consolidate the material until the tube is full. Insert the filled tube
into the sleeve. Place the sleeve on the bench and insert the spindle ram
using hand pressure to fully consolidate the composition.  When
consolidating using the spindle ram, the core is formed in the same step. 
This method works well for comps that don't have a high compression
rate such as parlon bound color comps or comps that have course metal
that could jam the rammer. Once the core is formed it's simply a matter of
pushing the getter out of the tube. 
The spindle ram is designed to eject the getter 3/4 of the way
to so it stays aligned with the spindle.		 Wayne Jansen method: 

Fill the getter tube with dampened comp by hand until full then insert the
filled tube into the sleeve. Place the sleeve on the bench and insert the solid
ram using hand pressure to fully consolidate the composition. 
When consolidating using the solid spindle ram more pressure can be applied
without risk of making the core too deep.  This method works well for comps that
 have a high compression rate such as charcoal comps and high mesh metal comps.
After solid ramming is completed the spindle ram is inserted, pressed solidly
 create the core and the getter is ejected. 
The spindle ram is designed to eject the
getter 3/4 of the way to so it stays aligned with the spindle.

If you have other tubes that you would like to use for go-getters, custom tools
can be made to fit your specific application*.  There is an additional $10 charge
for the custom tooling above the standard sized kits.
 
*If ordering the custom basic kit please make note of your solid ram preference,
 short or full length. 
Sample tubes will need to be mailed to us for proper sizing.
