That's a slick setup.
Well done!

Your inventions are superb. Thanks for sharing

OK this is just awesome willing to give a parts list?
A cheap HF drill press

1/2x1/2 aluminum bar stock
1" round bar stock
1/4" rod ends x2
1.5" thick block of UHMW
25 rpm gear motor and PWM speed control
The arbor was made from 4",3" and 1" bar stock.
Jmorris,
What type/size of blade are you using?
My hero's have always been Cowboys!
That is awesome. It looks like it will work great.
It is a .025" thick 5" diameter HSS slitting saw blade.Originally Posted by 44Vaquero
I cut 864 cases yesterday in 25 min with it. They picked it up last night, we will see how it holds up.
I have a 3600 rpm motor that I think would be better than the $49 drill press but not sure if it would be $360 better.

This beats the Harbor Freight cut off saw. I'm dreading getting 1k done this upcoming week.
I've got a drill press already. Will you be selling this kit to attach to a drill press?
I am baced up right now and waiting for the full shake down to see what the weak link is, there is always at least one.
Then I will try to put something together. Maybe even a some what DIY deal like the annealer.
YOU ARE Amazing! Love this! Don't need one as I don't have a BLK (yet)...but I still like it!
I'll be honest I never intended to have one, already have better rounds (I feel) but a pile of brass along with palmetto selling 8.5" barrels for $79 a few days ago, I couldn't stop myself.
Man Jim, you are definitely a talented man! I saw the vid of the cutter on youtube, what a concept. If you ever do a DIY kit, count me in, I love this idea. In the meantime, I'll work on my own. Keep up the great ideas!

I am upside down right now but did put together another drive for the second generation Sunday using a linear slide but not sure when I can put the rest together.
At some point it would be nice to offer a DIY kit like the annealing machine, just have to make sure it is simple and works.
If nothing else a good set of plans. Really the only parts for a DYI kit are the plastic piece, the shield, and arbor for the blades. Other than that it looks pretty straight forward. Definitely the best option short of a Giraud that I've seen so far.
Awesome work Jim! Much faster than my chop saw, for sure! Now, if you could work a sizing die into that process, you'd really have something!
Hmm. Have the finished cases dump into the case collator and feed them into a press with a sizing die and a Dillon trim die, and you'd be set. Not sure the press would keep up with the cutter! That cutter is slicker than owl snot.Awesome work Jim! Much faster than my chop saw, for sure! Now, if you could work a sizing die into that process, you'd really have something!
Yeah, it's much faster than my chop saw and jig as well, not to mention safer for the fingers!
Is the UHMW captured ? tooth count on blade if you don't mind
