They released a new YouTube video of how it functions. Pretty ingenious design. As fast as a Lee APP. No cost information, but I can imagine it would cost 2 or more times more than the Lee APP. No relations to this company. Sorry can’t seem to delete the duplicate YouTube video. I tried to paste a link, but ended up being embedded instead.

I replaced my motor with a Tamiya JR motor. https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-15485-JR-Rev-Tuned-Motor/dp/B00WHR07TI/ref=sr_1_21?crid=E05QVX69EIS7&dchild=1&keywords=tamiya+motor&qid=1612119400&sprefix=Tamiya+mot%2Caps%2C231&sr=8-21 Runs stronger than the stock motor, counter weight fits the motor shaft perfectly. Much higher quality build. $6 with shipping.

Solution to the fan falling off the motor shaft. Slide this on and should be good to go. At Homedepot, Everbuilt 1/4 in. Push Nut Bolt Retainers Plain $2.38 Model # 800388 Store SKU #489845

S1050 with Ponsness Warren 800 rpm auto drive(old school) I was having a problem with 223 case not feeding onto the shellplate. Seems the case was tipping as it was feeding into the shell plate. For a fix, I used some foam weather stripping tape attached to the case plunger. See photo for the set up. Video here:

Hey FART owners, Anyone else have any problems with the plastic fan popping of the motor shaft? Did you have a way to secure the fan? Thinking to supergluing it for now. Backstory: Mine stopped working one day, after checking the power connection, and flipping the unit over. Heard a clunk, the plastic fan was laying loose in the base. Removed the 4 screws where the black rubber feet are attached to the base. There is no index on the shaft. So the fan just slides onto the motor shaft. There is a clamping spring on the fan to secure it to the shaft. Mine was build 3/2014. One of the first ones.

Update: purchased from Lowe’s, Blaster dry lube with Teflon. Sprayed onto the bowl and let dry. Then used a cloth to wipe off the excess. Happy to say, the primers load into the primer trough fairly consistently. Also I didn’t tighten the screws to the bowl too tightly. For the primer trough I use a Target branded furniture spray polish and it did slicken the surface greatly. Although at times, I’m having as many as four primers that stop before they drop into the tube. My next try is to scrape the trough, as mentioned earlier.

Using Fiocchi small pistol primers with a height of 3.04. No luck getting the primers to reach the feed ramp. I will try shimmy next. Anyone have any luck with Fiocchi?

Sorry, my mistake. It is mounted correctly. Just checked mine too. If the arm is mounted too low, it would hit the base and not move forward enough. Just another random thought.

The primer assembly is installed backwards. The curved section should be facing the front of the press.

Where can I ask where is the swage rod breaking? Did you feel it strain before it broke? or is this motorized?

For higher volume a 1050 is the way to go especially if you're working with range pick up brass. Sorting out the crimped brass and deswaging them before you start reloading.

DudeRick, that is a sweet set up. Where do I find the details to set one up for myself?

I ended up with Bissell home canister vacuum that had an adjustment for the suction power. Even on the lowest setting it worked really well, and was very quiet compared to a shop vac. Too bad they were discontinued, find one with a an adjustable power as they are great.

Great, now I need two of them. lol

Too bad they are sold out now. Kinda wanted to give it a try.
