Neck turning

[ekoso]

I'm looking to get a case neck Turner, what are your recommendations and I would like to purchase one from one of our sponsors if at all possible.

I've used the Sinclair tool, and it is adequate. However, recently I picked up the 21st Century tool and like it much better.

I also picked up their accompanying "lathe," which is just a stand that holds the tool with the cutter at one end and a shell-holder at the other end, with an attachment that can be chucked into an electric screwdriver. This makes turning case necks much much easier and quicker, and you don't end up with sore fingers. I was able to turn 100 cases in less than 2 hours with my portable electric screwdriver, and this included two passes over the cutter per case (actually two in and outs).

Thanks, I stumbled onto the 21st century cutter last night while looking for ideas on building my own, it sure looks like the correct solution compared to the other hand crank ones. I was hoping that a sponsor would put thier hand up saying that they have something, but it looks like I'm spending 250usd plus 35$ shipping, plus what ever other calibers I want. Luckily I can easily build a concentricity gauge, but I tell you this next step up in reloading costs a small fortune

Lyman universal with neck turning accesories is a great value. If set up correctly it works very well. I looked at it as getting a free trimmer, deburring tool ect.

Like the KM with splined pilots. Have a Sinclair and one built by KS Arms. Adjustments and stop setup are easy to set on KM.

+1 for the K&M

I've been happy with the 21st century setup.
