I like how the trimmer works overall. But I have a problem with it using a small 1.5 gal shop vac ($40 at Lowe's).
The vacuum seems plenty strong enough, but the trimmings get stringy and clog up in the hose making a bird nest blocking airflow. I'm thinking maybe because that hose is corrugated & all the little ridges trap any stringy chips, which then helps to trap more, then very quickly it's a mess.
So what do you use that works well for this task? I'm kind of thinking maybe I could replace/modify the oem shop vac hose with some smooth tubing or PVC pipe? Or maybe just a 1.25" hose is just too small.....
Getting ready to setup and process another large (3k ish) batch of 1x 223 brass and would like to avoid continually stopping to mess with the shop vac hose this time.
