Is he using a variation of the PW setup or one of his own design? Either way, I think I would prefer his set-up rather than futzing around with one myself. I am not nearly as handy as some of the guys on this site. I'd call it his own design. I'll try to remember to snap a picture of it tonight. Don't have one on the phone.

cbrussell Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thanks, I would love to see some pictures. Got wrapped up at work so didn't get a chance to call Mike today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Sorry, forgot for a couple days. Not the best picture of a cluttered area, but you can see the drive and linkage that he's using. Nylon screw in the "flywheel" as a shear pin in case of overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrussell Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thanks for the picture. Any idea what Mike asking for the assembly? I have the CasePro portion, just need to automate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 No, I really don't remember. Got it a couple years ago as the package. Don't know what the pieces/parts price would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoR Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The autodrive is now officially offered on Case Pro's website for new units, and listed at $978.50. Other products got their prices updated, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to update, Mike will have the Case Pro ready for me in the first week of February, so that would make it a six month wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armydad Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I have a PW driven CP I bought here a few years ago. It runs 100% for my rifle cases, but I have to use springs and endless tweaking to get only descent reliability on pistol cases. I've been working with Mike and I think we're close to resolving the issue. He's been great to work with. I'm no where near as sophisticated as JMorris or some others here, so I recommend that if you want to automate yours, buy Mike's. There are a handful of modifications he does to automate the unit.

Tom Freeman Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I use the PW auto drive on my CasePro and am very happy. I consider it a huge timesaver as I no longer feel like I have to gauge check loaded ammo. Since I started roll sizing all my handgun brass I have not had a single issue with ammo that points to bad brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that if I want to buy Mike's autodrive some time down the road I will have to send him the Case Pro for him to retrofit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armydad Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 No to modifying the unit. He sells an aluminum support that goes over the shell plate housing (same black plastic housing piece on the S1050). It adds support to prevent breaking the CP housing, if there is a serious jam. He also has a piece that keeps the cases from being sucked back into the die and jamming the system. JMorris has a fix for this, but I wasn't savvy enough to figure out what he did. I thinks that's about it, other than adjusting the the arm between the slide and motor assembly. I haven't received my parts yet, so can't speak to everything. A lot of people here have added various versions of automation to their CP's with success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
