[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 2028616, member: 105459"] [I][B]I use the Horandy Neck turning tool for the following reasons. 1) I can not turn by hand for very long periods of time without my hands becoming numb for holding shell cases. 2) I am anal about leaving turning tool marks on case necks.( I know it's just me) 3) The Horandy neck turning tool is used in conjunction with a cordless power drill resulting in a very uniform amount of brass to be removed.[/B] The Horandy neck turning tool attaches to your hand held drill via the proprietary Horandy shell holder. A standard shell holder doses not have sufficient clearance to allow the tools locking mechanism to function correctly. All Horandy shell holders will work correctly so you must order one ( Caliber Specific ) at the same time as purchase is made. On the plus side once it has been correctly set up using the correct cutter to match the desired angle of your brass shell cases and then setting the correct depth just shy of your shell cases tapered angle, you are good to go. ( 2 cutting angle tools are included) I have found that regardless of the brand of neck turning tool you use, the purchase of a Sinclair Gen 2 Neck Expander Die will make your shell cases easily slide over your neck turning tools mandrel. All you need to do is order the correct again caliber specific Sinclair Expander Mandrel along with the Sinclair die body. As a + feature it will also repair dented or dropped case mouths.[/I] [B]Finally when you neck turn you will need a cutting fluid to prevent your brass case necks from galling. Please Note: Brass is extremely gummy by nature and in order to overcome this I recommend a drop or two of lubricant on your brass case necks before turning as this will defeat this .( I am a tool and die person with over 40 years experience and this is just my personal recommendation as I never cut brass without using any lubricant because it is just too gummy) However in all fairness with just a skim cut of .0002" - .0005" you may be able to get away without using any lubricant ! I find that Mobil 1 5-20 weight works very well. I just apply it directly to the case neck before turning with an acid brush. (just a drop or two is sufficient) Just a drop is plenty.[/B] [I]You will find that with a little practice using the Horandy neck turning tool and a power drill you will get very smooth and satisfactory neck turning which will not really leave any turning marks visible to the naked eye, and I think you will be happy with your purchase even if it takes a little more time to correctly set up than the typical hand held method which I found to really bother my hands but will certainly perform. [B] I guess the choice will be yours to make ,as I only meant to enlighten you with my thoughts.[/B][/I] [B][I] Good Luck ![/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
