Custom turning mandrel, help!

[Bora72]

Hello, I need a custom mandrel for turning the neck, .261 instead .262.

Can someone tell me the solution?

Thanks

Or K&M depending on what turner you have.

Bora,

I've taken 6 and 6.5mm K&M expanders, chucked then in a drill, spinning them with a flat carbide whetstone to close to my required diameter, and polished fine polishing compound or sand paper.
The process took less than thirty minutes to remove a thousandth or so. No more slop on the carbide turning mandrel and an inexpensive solution for a custom mandrel.

HTH,

I must be misunderstanding. If you need to turn another .001 off, adjust your cutter. Brian.

Another option for custom mandrel is simply get a Porter’s Precision Collet Mandrel Die and you can then use any size gage pin that you fancy. Perfect excuse for adding another quality tool to your reloading bench.

Hello, I don't know if 21st century mandrel fit on the turner but the mandrel of the brand of the mandrel (Queen Reloading) are compatibile with Sinclair mandrels.
Sinclair don't make .261 mandrel....
The turner are like the pumpkin turner
