[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 826570, member: 25383"] I've had one for a long time now, and can't see me switching back to the others anytime too soon. I did rebuild mine about eight or ten years back, and that was an easy process. The bore the cutter goes thru was starting to loosen up, and the rails the case hole sets on were showing wear. (It's done a lot of cases). I simply bushed the cutter head with a hard steel bushing (an inner race for a needle bearing), and then hones it for a light slip fit on the cutter. The rails were simply replaced with either Thompson Rod or drill rod (I'd have to go have a look see). I got a guy to resharpen the cutter head, and he said it was ground wrong from the get go. It now cuts like the brass were butter with very little burrs to remove. If you have the cutter resharpend, be sure to tell the guy your cutting brass with it. I have a micrometer head on the other end of mine (long before Sinclair did them), but use a standard 1" micrometer head that I took off a junk micrometer I found in the trash. I then made a Delrin head to fit on the stem. Nice thing about the longer travel micrometer head is that it covers a lot more area. Down side is that it can be a little awkward to use at times. The Square Peg clamp setup is the best, but also easy to build your own. He uses nothing but a simple Destaco fixture clamp you cab buy right out of the catalog. I built a riser out of some aluminum plate I cabbaged onto at the junk yard, but one made of ten gauge steel would be easier to do and work just as well You used to see the Wilson setup on Ebay for less than $30 all the time, and you can rebuild it for about $15 and a little elbow grease gary [/QUOTE]
