Fullauto_Shooter Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Was surfing ARFCOM and saw an ad from a company called "Ballistic Tools" selling bearing kits for the Dillon 650 and replacement cutter blades for the RT1200 brass-trimmer. Anyone dealt with them before? Want to check their gear and their reputation before I spend any money with them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropsitos Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I picked up their primer pocket gage. No problems with the transaction and i like the gage and it looks well made. No ideas on the other stuff. The bearing kit can be had from a number of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregshin Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Shipped fast and easy. Bought a few times from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The bearing is just a thrust bearing, it doesn't matter who you buy it from as long as it is a quality part. NAPA even sells them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieHunter Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I've never ordered from them, but I have the bearing kit installed on mine and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prebaned Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Never dealt with them but the bearing can be had at McMaster Carr if you feel you even need it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBBB Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The bearing goes on top of the shell plate underneath the shell plate bolt. Underneath the shell plate there is a ball bearing that indexes the shell plate by slipping into the holes that are drilled in the shell plate. I don't think you would want anything underneath the shell plate because it would raise the shell plate up and possibly interfere with indexing.

dhenry132 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Resharpen your RT1200 blades. I have been doing in for a couple years and works great. Have about 250K on two blades. Here is an example ( http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Accessories/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=545 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henny Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I should mention, the only downfall, if it could be considered one is that you have to call your order in to US Shop Tools. The link for their contact information is here: http://usshoptools.com/place_order.asp By the way, I'm not affiliated with US Shop Tools in any way.
