Neck turning tool?

[gitrdun]

There are many brands out there. Which do you folks prefer and why?

I use a Forester. I have been told they are not the best but I have no reason to think they are not doing a good job. I bought Forester because that was on the shelf at the time.
I have been told that K & M is very good?

I use K&M and they do a pretty decent job. That being said, if I had to do it again I would buy the Century 21 lathe setup.

I think I'm gonna go this route too.

Do any Canadian retailers carry the Century 21 setup?

I use the k&m and I'm very happy. It does a very good job.

KM has precise adjustments for case stop and cut depth. KM splined pilots will cleanup any "donut" issues.

I would consider the Pumpkin (Don Nelson)!the best but is no longer made, check out the PMA tools line.
K&M is good also.

21st.Century with the mounting bracket ,which is left side of lathe setup. Combined a Lee trimmer shell holder with a cordless screwdriver from CT, works very well.
Down side is ,not available in Canada afaik .
I'll be ordering some .30 cal. arbors shortly, have 6mm. and 6.5 mm. and other tools ,quality stuff from what I've seen so far.

I have one made by Lyman that mounts to my Lyman universal trimmer. Does a real nice job of evenly turning the necks and much easier on the hands than the hand turned models.

Actually, the K&M isn't bad. I thought it might be, but was pleasantly surprised. They make a knob-handle doodad that you can mount to it to make it easier to hold. Based on my own experience I don't think it's needed but can definitely appreciate how someone with reduced mobility or arthritis would find it helpful.

What I really find tough on the hands is the primer pocket uniformer. That one's not a ton of fun if you have more than a handful of cases to go through.

The K&M tool has been around for many many years, works well.
I also use Forster and Lyman attachments on my trimming tools

I wish that I could get one to mount on my Lyman Power Trimmer. No such thing though.

I took the crank handle off my Lyman and used flexible shaft on a drill

Can't do that with mine. It has it's own integral motor drive. Resembles a lititle lathe. Great Trimmer and chamfer/deburring machine though
