[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 907244, member: 25383"] with the two Sinclair turning tools I own, I use one to rough size the neck and the other to take the last five to seven tenths off the neck. I DO NOT use the Sinclair arbors. I made my own to the exact size I wanted. The one issue I have with the Sinclair is that it will not remove the doughnut, and the K&M will. Add to this, the cutter they use sucks on a good day. It's totally ground wrong, and has too much tool pressure. With the K&M you start out right, and are ahead from the get go. I personally do not like ball mics for measuring brass, but also know many folks love them. They only measure a small area, and I want an idea what the entire neck looks like. The best system I've (and use) found are pin mics. Sinclair sells a micrometer head with a pin built into a bracket. I built my own years before Fred sold them. Use a .218" gauge pin with a 1" head. Sinclair uses a .50" head which I like better. Otherwise our units are virtually identical. Yet you still need a standard one inch micrometer that reads down to one tenth. gary [/QUOTE]
