Case Neck Turning Lathe

I need to find someone that is making and or selling a lathe or tool for turning case necks. I don't mean the overpriced one that Sinclair sells in their catalog.
There used to be several guys out there that made them and they worked fine. I own one made by Clarence Hammond. He doesn't make them any more and I have a couple of new comers that need to get one. Please help.

case lathe

I don't mean the neck turning tool I need the lathe that turns the case so I can run the cutter tool on to the neck

It is the case lathe

I am referring to. Although Don does make the best best turning tool also.
 
I have a gearmotor (new) that is perfect for neck turning. Sell for $80, delivered.

Power turning of case necks

There is another option: buy a PPC case holder made for a power turner (about $20-40) Chuck it up in an electric drill held in a padded vise or, better yet, a drill press if you have one. I, of course, turn mine on a rare, super precise, laser guided lathe that runs on cold fusion. The tool head is the same one used on the machines used in robotic prostate surgery. For every 100 case necks turned my special breeding program releases a spotted owl into the wild. But before I ascended to this level of enlightenment I turned many a case using an electric drill and then a drill press. Tim

I simply use a cordless 1/2 inch drill from Sears. Chuck the case in the drill and turn away.

I'm not trying to knock anybody out of a sale but this works like a champ.
 
Jeremiah ...

I use a DeWALT DC750 3/8" (10mm) VSR CORDLESS ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH DRILL/DRIVER 9.6V 0-300/min/0-1100/min(RPM) set on speed #1, a K&M Case Holder and a K&M Neck Turner. The combination turns out ideal necks. ;)
 
mini-lathes...

These are nice little table-top lathes just made for this type, and other projects. www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93212

there is a smaller one, but its not really a functioning lathe. This one is, and they can be very accurate and a lot of fun!! I believe there is a site just dedicated to the mini-lathe...I have one I still use for my brass...and I have a machine shop with full-sized equipment...and I really like the little lathe!! good shooting, Gary
 
polyps 101

Dear FB, Polyps are little discreet protrusions into the lumen of the gut in most cases the colon. They come in three flavors depending on their microscopic make up. The three are adenomatous ( 70% of all polyps. these can turn into cancer) non neoplastic comprising multiple different types but with no cancer potential and submucosal which consists of rarer multiple types both benign and malignant. With few exceptions benign types cannot be separated from malignant types except by biopsy. With adenomatous polyps the cancer potential varies in direct proportion to size <1cm less then 1%, 1-2 cm 10%,>2cm 46%. 35% of the population over the age of 50 has adenomatous polyps in their colon. Most people harboring these growths are completely free of symptoms and they are only detected by screening usually colonoscopy or, less often, barium enema. Colonoscopy is more accurate at finding early small polyps.(FYI President Reagan had a sessile, villious adenoma as his tumor. It has a 35% malignant potential and was missed on his barium enema but found on the colonoscopy.) These alarming statistics about adenomatous polyps are the reason that after you reach the age of 50 your doctor starts making unsettling but increasingly strong suggestions about the "black snake".

That's very true Tim, and if...........

you have to go into a specialist's office where there are 10 or more of those examinee's waiting to leave, it sounds like a convention of calliope tuners showing each other their best riffs.:D:D Damn shame some of that can't be productively utilized, kinda like watchin' the burn-off at a refinery,:rolleyes:;)

Brian, You may have hit on something here. I am sure a job could be found for these people in the space program perhaps as booster rockets. The best line I have ever read about by a patient during a colonoscopy: "Doc, would you please write a note to my wife stating that during the examination you did not find my head?". Tim
