case sizer help

[bongfoo]

hello all. i'm hoping somone can give me a little help. i remember seeing a case trimmer that you hook up to a drill press. it was a pretty straight forward trimmer almost like a lee hand trimmer. it was caliber specific. i've searched the crap out of midway and can't seem to locate it. anyone able to give me a push in the right direction?

+1 on the Possum Hollow!

Yup, get the Possum Hollow trimmer and the L. E.Wilson adapter to use it with a drill or drillpress. The adapter will also work with their chamfering tool.
Great combo.

I recently started using the PH trimmer in my drill press and, while it does a fine job, there are two things that you need to stay on top of.

1)The trimmer fills with shavings and you need to pull it out of the holder and clean it out fairly often(roughly every 50 rounds). If you don't, the cases won't all be trimmed to the same length.

2)Depending on the quality of your drill press, running hundreds of cases through it might shorten the motor life. I have a very nice Delta unit and the motor gets crazy hot when I trim as I leave it running up to a half an hour some times(depends on how many cases I have to do.)

I think I'm going to start using a corded hand drill that runs at 1500rpm which should make both of these issues easier for me to deal with. I'd rather burn up a hand drill motor than my press motor.

You only need to turn the Trimmer at like 500rpm. If you're motor is running hot, it's running way too fast.
