BEST CD517 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the BEST CD517 core press work with 7-pin cores or only 6-pin?
Both. The CD517 capping/decapping press handles 6 and 7 pin combinated cores, so a shop running a mixed BEST small format interchangeable core inventory does not need a second press for the 7-pin work.
2) Do I have to cap each barrel separately on the CD517, or does it do the whole core at once?
All barrels at once. The CD517 seals every barrel of a 6 or 7 pin combinated core in one operation, which is the reason to buy a press instead of capping by hand when you are pinning up a master key system in volume.
3) Is the BEST CD517 a bench press or a handheld tool?
Bench mounted. The CD517 bolts down to a work bench, so you need a solid bench and your own mounting hardware and bolts to set it up. It is not a portable tool to carry on a service call; for van work you want a hand capping tool instead and keep the press in the shop.
4) Can the BEST CD517 press also remove caps, or only install them?
It does both. The CD517 is a capping and decapping press, so it opens combinated cores for rekeying as well as sealing them back up after you pin them. That matters for lock cylinder reconditioning work where most of the volume is cores you already own.
5) How do you control how far the caps seat on the BEST CD517?
Cap seating depth is adjustable on the press. You set the depth once and every barrel comes out the same, which is what keeps the top pin travel consistent across a batch of cores instead of varying core to core.
6) Is a core capping press worth it for a facility that only rekeys a few cores a year?
Probably not. The CD517 is a heavy duty bench press built for high volume core processing, and it has to be bolted to a bench to use at all. A maintenance shop turning a handful of cores is better served by a hand capping tool and a pinning kit. The press earns its place in a locksmith shop or a security service center building master key systems, where you are capping cores by the tray.
7) Is the BEST CD517 part of a larger tool line, and where are the setup instructions?
The CD517 belongs to the BEST CD Series core equipment line, and BEST publishes it in the D Series service equipment catalog, which covers setup, operation and the rest of the core service tools in the family. Read that before the first run so you set seating depth correctly.
