Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. ok, thanks for the advice... not plugged into GFI nd all connections seem tight and secure. I'll have to go thru credit card slips to see when I purchased it but i'm pretty sure it was about 15 months ago
  2. Yesterday was brass processing day, I knocked out about 1000 556 then noticed my trimmer motor was running intermittently... It does still trim brass perfectly but sounds like someone revving a motorcycle. I've attached a video so you can hear it.. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, John Video_1 (1).MOV
  3. I did a good cleaning on the bottom of the shellplate in the middle of my troubles and it didnt seem to help. Ive got a alignment tool on the way so maybe thats what i need. Will post results
  4. Funny you should sk... I just converted from 556 to 45acp and everything seems to be butter. Thing I cant figure out is i've loaded probably 10K off that 556 shellplate and never had a issue till this past weekend ;/
  5. I was thinking it was something i could do a little trial and error on
  6. I havent removed the platform but will contact Dillon tomorrow about a alignment tool. Got the same input off a facebook forum
  7. I'm having a timing issue with my 650.. Shellplate isn't aligning properly with the priming punch. In order to get primers straight in pockets i've got to rotate the plate counterclockwise about 1/8th" by hand. I've taken everything down and cleaned thoroughly. Already replaced detent ball spring and tried adjusting cam for index ring but that didnt help. Also tried running shellplatte from a little looser than usual to so tight it will barely rotate and everywhere in between... Any suggestions?
  8. The blade is not square to the shaft, it only uses one side (the leading edge) to cut based on its rotation, you wouldn't want it be square as the back side of the cutter would drag across the edge of the brass. I had to remove the unit all together to switch to station 4 ( didn't have the foresight to figure out the vacuum shroud wouldn't fit over the tool head pin) and payed better attention to how it was designed. At first glance I thought it was just bollted on but now I see it's designed to only go on one way. Thanks!
  9. I just received shipment of a RT1500 trimmer from Brian. This is my first press mounted trimmer, upon assembly I noticed the blade on the cutter head was slightly canted. After I ran a few test pieces I noticed the brass wasn't very cleanly trimmer. My question is should the blade be locked square on the motor or should it be canted? Thanks in advance, John
  10. I finally found my split ring pliers... The spring adjustment seemed to have helped significantly! Thanks!!
  11. Good morning all. I wanted to post a quick question regarding some of the problems i've been having with my new primer filler. I purchased it around the first of the year and just cant quite seem to get a grasp on adjusting the rig. The main problem i'm having is the primers "bunch up" at the top of the feed adapter or occasionally (5%) flip over as the enter the adapter. I've tried everything I can think of... I've tried running the feed adapter screw and stabilizer plate from locked down tight to so loose it vibrates out ( and every combination of the two), i've tried changing to the spare adapter and ran every possible increment of adjustment on the rheostat and nothing seems to help. Yesterday I finally had enough and broke out the trusty flip tray and tubes. BTW i've tried it with CCI, Tula Rem and Win and the problem persists. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance, John
  12. I've run about 15K thru my 650 (small pistol and rifle), can't tell a difference from CCI or Wins
  13. Thats got me headed in the right direction.. I certainly appreciate it fellas!
