Dillon RL1050 CNC Tool Head

[cbrussell]

I was looking for a CNC Tool Head for my Dillon RL1050. It seems the one produced by CNC Shooter is out of stock. Anyone know of a place to purchase one or is anyone else making a similar one?

Not sure... but I didn’t find it worth it over the stock toolhead. Also, if you have a case feed stop like the Inline fab case feed stop, the toolhead doesn’t work with it. The cam is too wide.

Great information. Appreciate it.

If you are still looking for one these guys here do a lot of custom work they may be able to make exactly what you need just in case you’re still looking.

Never heard of these guys. Thanks for the information. The site shows the tool heads on back order, however I will shoot them an email.

Thanks.

If you are talking about these guys: https://immortobot.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_24&products_id=229&zenid=bss5cf8jcdndvlu2124av5c771

 

I ordered about a month ago after seeing the same "out of stock".

However if you put it in your basket you will see that backorder is ok.

I did so and it was shipped within a week.

I don't know if that is typical or they just happened to have one lying around.

That is good to know. I sent them an email to see if their toolhead would fit my Dillon RL1050 without having to make any modifications. It seems like a quality product.

As an aside; their processed brass seems to be reasonably priced as well.

I don't understand what this item ($250) does that a Dillon stock cast tool head ($209) doesn't - other than look pretty.  Does it have some advantage.?  Someone please educate me.

I sent an email to ”fastbrass”  but have yet to hear back. There site shows them not taking any orders due to commercial volume. Might be too busy to produce tool heads.

What got me to try one was the thread die spot over priming station... upon testing on a few things, I realized it wasn’t so useful. I forget all the issues I had with it. Some die didn’t fit in that spot which was annoying - don’t recall which ones. Also, I believe a die their causes a problem for Mark 7 bullet sensor mirror. 
 

 I just remember the first time i used it, it mangled up my Inline Fab case feed stop and pissed me off. 
 

 

but as you said, it is nicer looking.

I've got a Lee Universal Expander die with a 9mm  MBF powder funnel over the priming station. 

It's worked fine for me. Nice to be able to keep the flaring operation independent of the powder drop.

All I can say is that particular die fits ok.
