[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2800318, member: 101791"] It's been my understanding and also told to cut for neck thickness before doing anything else that are virgin brass. The only different is that I set up and cut all my cases to length first. Found that virgin brass can be several thousands different between cases. No I am not going to eye ball it where to stop the cut either. That way once set up to cut the neck to thickness. the stop prevent the cutter from going to far or short of where it is to stop everytime. In the shaping of the brass the inside of the neck is the gauge and any uneveness is to the outside of the neck and probable the entire case is done that way. I never seen how that process is done to shape a case. In thinking about it now, I guess I could have gone onto the net and be shown the process. Now my pay grade is Carpenter. So I deal with feet and inches. 😂 A real lathe is beyond my pay grade. Back to cutting necks for thickness. If using fired brass this is what I would do. I would FL the brass, I would use a mandrel to push the inside of the neck uneveness to the outside of the neck. Then cut the neck for thickness. I think that should do it. 😂I been thinking won't get me to far. I can stand to be corrected. No harm no faul. I like to see what the others have to say. [/QUOTE]
