mcracco Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Could not find anything off the shelf to buy so I came up with this. Holds 4 toolheads, 2 of which I cannot afford. Material list is pretty simple: 11”D x 24”W MDF shelf 1” floor flange 1” x 8” black nipple 1” PVC male adaptor Felt pads Half inch quarter round plastic moulding I have a couple yards of Dillon blue ripstop nylon material that I will use to fab up a dust cover for the whole thing. But right now I am more interested in converting my 1050 from 9mm to 45ACP Edited June 30, 2012 by mcracco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctay Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 That is great! As a new 1050 owner I've been looking for something like this! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floater Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks about like the same set up I came up with. As far as changing a 1050 from 9mm to 45acp, just did the swap last month, and found it wasn't near as hard as I was expecting, I also think my 1050 is running smoother on 45 then it did on 9mm, (ordered the machine in 9mm).

floater Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I like the MDF idea might use that and put some draw runners on it and mount the hole rig under the bench top. Edited June 30, 2012 by floater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Actually, stand is working out better than the conversion. Having a serious issue with flipped primers. AND....I finally lit off a primer while reloading. Boy that was loud. Nice flame out of the toolhead. I didn't jump and neither did the dog but my ears were ringing. Ended the session short and I'll call Dillon on Monday. The indexing pin on the toolhead is not aligning real well and it is causing the shell plate to jog back and forth a bit. Can't see where that would cause a primer issue but we will see. Found I could store more crap on the stand. Note the primer tube in the center hole. This stand can also pull double duty as a launcher for bottle rockets. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purecharger Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Great idea! Thanks for the materials list..this actually looks like something I could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A63111 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Made one of these. I only have 1 extra conversion so it was small. The pipes work geat and no more head laying on it's side taking up space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retread1911 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Another option for under 20$ http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=149713&st=0&p=1678715&hl=1050%20toolhead&fromsearch=1entry1678715 It isn't as pretty as this one but can easily be painted Dillon blue. Which I still haven't done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sardo67 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Could not find anything off the shelf to buy so I came up with this. Holds 4 toolheads, 2 of which I cannot afford. Material list is pretty simple: 11”D x 24”W MDF shelf 1” floor flange 1” x 8” black nipple 1” PVC male adaptor Felt pads Half inch quarter round plastic moulding I have a couple yards of Dillon blue ripstop nylon material that I will use to fab up a dust cover for the whole thing. But right now I am more interested in converting my 1050 from 9mm to 45ACP brand new to the forum here and found this doing a google search for "1050 tool head mount" and this looks the simplest. should have a 2nd tool head here the end of the week with another on the way in a few days as long as the other eBay bidders don't jack it up too high. i'm right near waterbury and go to NVCC, i am new to the 1050 and would really love to see your set up some time if you want to help a new guy out. i send ya a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reloader901 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Show off I'm still drooling over my Square Deal B to XL-650 and you spoil my day by showing me multiple setups for a 1050.

doctimw Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Well Done MCRACCO!! I am looking forward to building this as well! I think I will take a couple of ideas from other photos and add a place for additional powder measures! Great simplicity but yet VERY Functional and sturdy!
