crasher Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 First question post, thanks for the info: I just got a new RT-1200, set it up and trimmed about 75 5.56 cases when it occurred to me that the trimmer case had no air vent holes and the case was getting warmer than I expected. It wasn't too hot to touch, but hotter than I expected a tool that I hope to use for several hundred cases at a time to be. Am I overly concerned, or is this an issue? The vacuum was running, and ambient air temp was about 72*. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21 shooter Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I have not set mine up yet so this was good to know. Maybe aiming a small high speed fan at it might help. I'm going to trim .223 with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to trim .223 with mine. I did hook up a small computer fan and it helped a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
