[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2588612, member: 101791"] I got a 21st Century Powder Complete Lathe Kit, plus 8 Neck Turning Kits for about $2,000.00. It wasn't hard to set up, and cut my necks. I have just started to use the system. So I don't know a whole lot about it yet. It did what I needed to do. The only thing was the mandrel didn't fit the ID of the 7mm ID case. So I had the mandrel turned, and that has taken care of the problem. I set it up to cut thickness to 13th and it did just that. It was simple enough to achieve. I locked in the cutting amount and it stayed the same for 5 cases that I did for the Smith to test fire the rifle. the Smith causation me on about cutting the necks in one pass. I should do it in at lease two setting to be sure in getting a smooth neck. So I order out a 2nd Neck turning tool kit. That way I can lock it down and don't have to change anything, and hopefully everything is concentric. The other thing was I got a Henderson Precision Case Trimmer. To cut all my brass to the same length. You have to get different cutter heads for each calibers. You can set up a stop and change it out and replace it with a different stop for a different cartridge to stay consistent Every case for whatever rifle needs to be or wants to be same-O-same-O. So it's a matter of how deep your pocket are, and it's[B] Rabbit Hole! [/B] [/QUOTE]
