Homemade Trimmer

[jmiddy]

Finally finished my homemade trimmer for .223/5.56 it works pretty good, I trimmed about 400 cases in 30 minutes. Here are some pics.

Cost about $65 with the motor being the most expensive, and about 4 hours labour.

and never mind about the MK83 in the background

Looks interesting. I like seeing these kinds of things. Any chance of doing a little video of it in operation?

I will have to make a video, it is pretty accurate too and beats the hell out of using a drill.

Most of the material I had laying around, tubing, old bed frame, plexi, stainless etc..

Only problem is adjusting the cutter it can be done but takes about 10min trial and error, but once its set it is set.

A video of its operation would be great! While you've got your camera out - if you don't mind... I'd sure appreciate seeing how you put it together.

If you find time, please post a component list and how/where you sourced them. I love this kind of DIY stuff.

Finally finished my homemade trimmer for .223/5.56 ...

The only cutting tool I see is a table saw.
