[QUOTE="woods, post: 273746, member: 6042"] I have the Forster hand held turner - [url=http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=219509]MidwayUSA - Forster Hand Held Outside Neck Turner[/url] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN0493.jpg[/IMG] I like it because it is economical, has a wider blade than most [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN0592.jpg[/IMG] and you can also buy an inside neck reamer that will interchange with the outside neck turning mandrel [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN0726.jpg[/IMG] For expanding for the Forster, I just neck size with a Lee Collet and it works perfect, no separate expander needed. I have used a friend's K & M and it is certainly a fine tool. The blade was a lot narrower and it costs a lot more, especially if you get all the attachements and cutting mandrels. The most important thing you will need to make neck turning more accurate is a ball micrometer and a stand to hold it is worth the money [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN0727.jpg[/IMG] a caliper just won't cut it. Outside neck turning is not necessary with factory chambers. I have 3 tight necked chambers that all require that I take off brass in order to get the recommended .003" clearance around the neck. If you don't have a custom chamber tight neck then just skimming the high points off the neck can't hurt and IMO it will decrease the amount of runout. [/QUOTE]
