  1. Kind of a random question/request.  

     

    Anyone with an Ammobot autodriven 1050, can you please measure the height of the entire setup to the top of the case feeder?  

     

    In my current reloading room, I'm limited by the height of the ceiling so I'm debating making my bench shorter if I need to fit this on there. 

     

    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  2. mikey, yes, and you have to use lube for that, in fact, I use lube to load my 357SIG. But not a conventional lube, I use dry mold release. You don't have to remove it after loading.

    So I don't follow. The post above says you only use a little car polish when tumbling. Now you're saying you use a release agent.

  3. This topic has come up here before.  IIRC those who had used the one that lubed using some roller wheels and a pad were not overly impressed.  Maybe this is a different one?  
     
    I just use Dillon Case Lube and a zip lock bag.  A couple of shots of lube goes into the bag first, then the brass, toss to coat, then dump into the case feeder to air out for 15+ minutes.



    It sounds like the same thing.

    I currently have a very similar process. Except I use imperial case lube instead of Dillon. Might make the switch to a liquid lube.

    Can't answer the question but, why do you guys want the bar over an end mill?

    What are the advantages of the boring bar and carbide insert over the end mill you ask?
     

    When an end mill dulls, it has to be replaced and thrown in the "to be sharpened" stack. When a new end mill is installed, the depth of the end mill has to be exactly where the last end mill was removed from. If not, the die cutting depth will change, and as such, the die will have to slightly be raised or lowered in the tool head to accommodate this change.

    With a boring bar, when the carbide insert dulls, all that has to be done is to remove the Bosch motor from the trimmer adapter, remove the TS6 screw, and either rotate to a new cutting edge (there are three) or replace the carbide insert. Reinstall the motor, and verify that cut length hasn't changed.
