HOME MADE CASE PREP STATION

This started out as a reply to USGI Bob about case prep, but I decided to post a new thread about it.......


USGI BOB,
I ended up mounting a couple woodworkers vices to my bench. I mounted 2 electric drills and use like a poor mans case prep station.
I put in the proper size primer pocket brush then slide up a already mounted radiator hose clamp on the trigger to set the needed drill speed I need.
Sounds and looks a little silly but keeps my hands free to just feed primer pockets to it. Easier and faster for me than hand twisting the little handled pocket/brush tool. Also works with the inner/outer de burring tool, case length trimming tool head and crimped pocket reamer. After belling I like sticking a nylon/poly brush in the drill and use it to buff out the inside case area. Use to use one of the cordless drills by hand, but this is easier to manage, as I don't have the weight of the tool to hold up. Just keep a wastebasket under each set up to collect debris. Also use a old slide caliper set to proper case length clamped down to bench that helps quickly check case length. It really makes case prep easier and quicker for me. YMMV!

After reading back thru this it sure comes out sounding pretty 'Shade tree' but seriously it looks and works nicer than it sounds. Besides what else was I gonna use all those drill guns for after retiring?

Cheers,
