If your question now is, can I convert to a 4-holer with auto index for 4 hole turrets, but still use my 3-hole turrets and just turn them manually, I think the answer is yes. If you look at http://www.leeprecision.com/cgi-data...uct/TP2131.pdf you'll see in the parts illustration at the bottom that they show both the 3-hole and 4-hole part numbers for the turret. This suggests to me that they both fit in the head. The only remaining question would be whether the spring loaded ball in the press and the detents on the turrets will locate both types of turret properly over the ram.

Why not give Lee a call and ask 'em?
