[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 433277, member: 1521"] With that kit you get one set of mandrels(for one cal -like 25cal). You buy seperate mandrel sets for each additional cal(28cal, & 30cal). The mandrels are all a standard fit in the expander die, and turner. What's not in the kit(yet), is a caseholder/driver for powered turning. The tool cutter will be standard 30deg, and Sinclair also offers 40deg cutters for improved cases. You'll need a neck mic(not an indicator). I linked the best, but Sinclair also has a less expensive neck mic that is very good: [url=http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=38096/Product/Sinclair_Starret_Case_Neck_Micrometer]SINCLAIR INTERNATIONAL : Sinclair/Starret Case Neck Micrometer -[/url] With any neck mic, ensure you install a stop so that you're measuring the same depth in your necks. Like this: [IMG]http://img273.imageshack.us/img273/3449/thickness6vg.jpg[/IMG] Or this: [IMG]http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8247/nmstop.jpg[/IMG] I would highly recommend powered turning with a 'case lathe' instead of trying to hold a drill/powered screwdriver in one hand, with the turner in the other. I think mine is a nielson, but honestly it ain't worth squat(wobbles alot). I'm probably going to upgrade to one of these soon: [url=http://benchrest.com/class/index.php?a=2&b=1119]Tools : Benchrite Neck Turning Cast Lathe[/url] People who try the NT4000 won't be recommending any other for a while. It actually is -the best. And Sinclair's expander system is very useful for other things, as the mandrels are better sized for reloading than others. [/QUOTE]
