CZGeoege Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I put the drill on it and ran over 1000 pieces of 40 brass in about 30 minutes. I’m very happy with this machine. Came with drill adapter, rubber hose, case feeder adapter. But $700 is still kinda pricey IMO. Definitely miles ahead of the bulge buster I was using.

PhotoRecon Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I got mine about 6 months ago and really like it. The hose that came with it was flatened and despite heating etc was beyond repair.

MNshooter Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I have one. It is fantastic! Curious if anyone has had success attaching a cheap electric motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoRecon Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I went with an electric drill that has a torque setting to reduce the risk to the rollsizer internals...99+ percent go through on setting 5 of 10 but occasionally a case from a loose chamber stops the drill...those I do with the hand crank...

workingmanjeff Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've had one of these on backorder from immortal arms since December I liked the idea of being able to hook an old drill to it for a motor to speed things up - nice to see the positive feedback on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have to sit and hold the drill while it runs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you just set the drill on something to match the height and then turn it on and let it spin. Most drill are able to be locked on.

PhotoRecon Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Mine uses a bit driver and open socket head with a drill...haven't seen a drill used where you don't have to hold it...would be interesting... On mine if you try to go too fast it will throw the case out of the machine...I use about 1/8 to 1/4 of trigger on the drill for a steady flow faster than my 1050 can feed it...

All the corded drills I have are able to stay on. I'll have to look how as I rarely use it but I used that feature a few years ago when I wire brushed some patio furniture.

I now use spring instead of tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman_usmc Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 That’s awesome, thank you. Now I have to ask what type of connectors/couplings you’re using. The parts that came with the rollsizer probably won’t connect straight to a spring. When I zoom it it gets blurry. Is that a section to rubber tube that holds the spring to the feeder?

CenTX Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The aluminum adapter came with the Rollsizer/Decapper and snaps into the Dillon Casefeeder. Then is a piece of tubing that came with the Rollsizer/Decapper, the tubing will accomplish all spring to metal coupling. The spring fits nicely into the tubing, insert the spring in tubing, pushing slightly while you lightly twist the spring one direction or the other and you can insert it. Reverse the process to separate the pieces. It is a friction fit. It was easy after I did it a couple of times. I hope I made sense on that. I had surgery a couple of days ago and still on pain drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
