I like the Manual roll sizer (PICS)


Recommended Posts

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.

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...

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.

So what was your solution? I want to get a long metal hose ( coil spring ) like what on my bullet feeder.

So you have to sit and hold the drill while it runs?

Yes, but I do have a nice DC motor to install this coming weekend. Should be perfect.

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.

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 had the same issue, I used a quick ties on the flattened portions and kinks to hold it round. I now use spring instead of tube.

Where did you get the spring from?

Thanks to whoever posted the spring info originally. I can't find the original post, but attached is a copy of my invoice.

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?

I'm curious also. Thanks.

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.
