Home built CNC Mill - Gonna make a 1911
will_m68 replied to StraightUp_OG's topic in General Gunsmithing
The 1100 is a good machine but I opted for the Novakon for the larger table and a little faster speed. This could have changed since I got mine. Either way you will be happy with the 1100 or the pro. -

The Novakon actually has 6000 rpm spindle, not sure if yours was an older model. That is more than the Tormach. -

No I have the stepper motors and it does everything I need it to do, but I have thought about buying the servo's. It's not bad to update. They have people in the US, where are you located? When I bought mine I was even able to talk with the owner of the company, pretty much unheard of these days. I would be glad to introduce you to him or help you in any way. Don't get me wrong the Tormach is a great machine, but not the only one on the market that can do what you are wanting to do for around the same money. Really what sold me was the support, the power of the machine and the size of the table. Let me know if I can help in any way. -

I would check out Novakon for their CNC machine. It's a little bigger than the Tormach You get more bang for the buck. I just got mine and love it. It has a bigger work table incase you want or need to make something a little bigger. The customer service has been awesome. Send me a pm if you want to know more. -
I had the same issue and mine was the adjustment on the lever that slides the bar back and forth. It was very aggravating but I walked away from it for a couple of hours and came back to try again. This time I was able to get it adjusted correct. They are great machines but at times can drive you crazy. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

How about a link to the workbench or part number? Thanks! I just picked one up today for $139.00 on sale. It's item #69054 and the coupon code is #55550874. Now all I have to do is build it, place an order with Brian, and wait! How about a link to the workbench or part number? Thanks! I just picked one up today for $139.00 on sale.

1200 trimmer on my 650 or 1050

same here. -
1050 over 650- convince me
will_m68 replied to windscreen's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I really like my 650 then add the 1050 and that is a much better machine. Like others have said, if you have the money and can wait a while get it and don't look back. -
Another one for Brian. After I placed my order he called me to ask if I meant to order two sets of the same die. Of course I didn't. Dillon would have just sent the other set. Thanks Brian!

Like you, I run a seperate toolhead for trimming. On station 1 of that toolhead I put the Redding FL/SB die. If I remember correctly, my bushing for LC 223 is .245. If you still have trouble pulling the expander through the neck, you can go wider. Remember, the trim die will size the neck down also, so don't worry about neck tension. Swager on station 2, trimmer in the slot where you normally would put the powder check. Thanks for the info.

650 Primer System - how to 'prime' it?
will_m68 replied to Mike in CT's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
What he said!!! The Uniquetek fix works great. I also advance 6 times and at the end have 11 left over. -
Yep, that's what I did this time! For decapping pins I usually order a few ten packs. When I open my last one, I order a few more. It seems that I can often load 1000s of rounds without bending one, and then I'll bend 3-4 in a 100 rounds..... I just see them as a consumable wear item....

So I noticed that if I order the Redding die, I have to order the bushing separate. Is this correct or do you need the bushing?
