How do you attach a Lee mould handle to a NOE mould. It seems that the pins in the mould are not loose.

David you are absolutely right , my friend. The 1/8 hex wrench works great as they screwed right out. When I shined a light on the aluminum mould it slightly blinded me. I was finally able to see the threads in the mould. Sometime you can't see the forest for the trees !!!
Thanks everyone for your help.........

Are you asking about the mold handles for the Lee 1 and 2 cavity molds? Those are not intended to be removed, but stay with the mold.
If you are asking about the larger and longer mold handles used on the 6 cavity Lee molds, that is a different situation.

The pins in Lee one and two cavity molds are in blind holes. You can remove them by drilling a hole down from the top and driving the pins out. I have done several with a drill press, its not hard to do, you just have to get the location right.

And then there is the issue of the blade of the handle being a sloppy fit in the slot of the bullet mold. While it can be done, it is generally not the best solution. Also there are two styles of Lee 1/2 cavity mold blocks.
Still wondering which style of handles you are talking about.

I have a new NOE mould. He suggested the Lee 6 cavity mould handles for his mould. It appears that the NOE pins are permanently attached. How do I remove the NOE pins to attach the Handle.

They have 1/8" hex screws on the bottom.

Negatory. My mould the pins do NOT go all the way thru.

Pictures? You say "pins" and most molds other than the 1-2 cav Lee blocks are held on by "screws". Most fasteners do not go all the way through.

Use Lee 6 cavity handles on NOE 5 cavity molds and don't understand the OP's problem.
