I'm sitting here looking at 500+ .223 cases I need to trim back to suggested length.
I have the Forster case trimmer crank style trimmer in which I just replaced the trimmer/cutter shaft because the old one was worn out.
That replacement shaft would chuck up nicely in my drill press. The press has a spindle stop which would allow me to set the spindle to stop at any point as I lower the spindle with the trimmer/cutter in the chuck.
If I had some fixture that would allow me to secure a case on the drill press table, I should be able to trim my cases using the press.
Anyone know of a fairly quick release collet fixture that would secure a .223 case and attach to the drill press table?
Just a thought. If the fixture costs as much as the top of the line automatic trimmers, I'd be better off with the dedicated purpose trimmer. Can't think of the name; believe it starts with an "M."
Any suggestions?
