Dillon 1200 power trimmer problem

[problemchild]

With a dillon 223 trim die adjusted properly I have a tiny gap port window for the vacuum to attempt to suck the brass shavings out of a pit that sits 1/2 inch below the open area. The brass trimmings end up in a brass wool ball all around the trimmer blade. The shavings then end up falling into the brass.

Any cure for this?

I thinks whats needed is a half thickness tool head for trimming.

Did you put the lock nut on the underside of the toolhead?

Just got off the phone with the big blue D and they told me the same thing. F'ing Genius if you ask me. I would have never thought of that.
