ATTN: Aluminum CNC guys... question

[Sniper338]

Anyone thought about CNC machining an aluminum drying rack to slip cases onto upside down to drip and
dry after wet tumbling?

Something along this kinda line but CNC out of aluminum?

 

[Ggmac]

I'd rather have Rubbermaid !

I use old 50 round pistol blocks that the local police leave after practice. They have a hole in the base of each slot that will take a case neck most calibres. I just built a frame for it to sit in to jeep the necks off the ground.

I just stand them up in a small cardboard box and leave them for a couple weeks.

Here in Florida, we set them flat on a towel on the patio table for 2 hours. Then we wear kitchen mitts to handle them.

I love this! I made one, although very basic, using some finish nails and a piece of wood. I would buy one in a second......

Bob: I like your thinking. I have some finish nails!

here in NY we do that in October and on July 4th we pick each one up and shake the melted snow out

Yeah I heard that NY has two seasons. Winter and the 4th of July.

Compressed air does it for me ---- and it's fast!

Lay them out on a large towel, fold lengthwise and slowly tumble then back and forth a few times to get rid of the excess moisture. On a warm sunny day I just put them on a cookie sheet outside for a few hours. If it's not warm outside put them in an oven at 220 degrees. I turn the oven off after 10 minutes minutes but leave the brass in while the oven cools as my convection oven keeps the fan blowing after I shut it off. For a non convection oven the oven may need to be left on for 20 or more minutes.

I use a food dehydrator - I have found nothing any more reliable nor consistent. I probably have the same money in it as you would a couple drying racks.

HI Sniper, I don't think I could produce very cost effective. I will show how i do it later.

I'm telling ya, the basic version is cheap and easy to make.....but ugly. I like Sniper's idea ALOT.

 

[joshb]

Bob: I find "cheap" very attractive! It leaves more money for bullets.

Mine look just about like Bob's, but I live dangerously by using nails tip up. Fits in the primer pocket hole.
I took a 4" by 10" piece of 1/2" plywood and drew a grid on one side. Rows of five, and ten rows long.

I tried doing it with nails once... nsils ended up every which way and werent straight... threw out that idea..

 

[IdahoSharpshooter]

Drill the holes thru the block first. I can almost push Bright Common 10d 3" nails thru the block by hand.

I am going to have to find 4" for the 338 LM though.

That would be 16d. If you use galvanized they won't rust like mine did,
