Brass Holder

[Chfcemerson]

I'm just curious as to which brass holders some of you guys are using in conjunction with a drill motor when turning necks. I have two different ones but not really satisfied with either of them.

I've go by with the K & M, but it could be better. A friend uses a 180 rpm 12 V motor to drive his cases & used a Lyman case trimmer head coupled up to it to hold them. It seems to work pretty sweet.

I have a K&M system but I found their case holder was more cumbersome and tough on my hands when tightening the head by hand; a wrench was the best used but that slowed the loading process down considerably. I bought a Sinclair holder that has a knurled collar that is easy to hand tighten and it meets my needs perfectly.

I have tried a bunch. The best I have found is Sinclair's caseholders- the ones that are specific to the casehead. The universal holder which accepts shellholders (R.W. Hart and Lee offer a similar design) do not hold the case tight enough and allow the case to wobble which makes neck turning a frustrating experience and impossible to maintain dimensional consistency.

+1 on Sinclair (not universal)

I have one of the "universal" types...has got like a camera type collapsing holder...works ok most of the time. And I have one that takes the shellholder inserts (the type that does not have the bottom part that slides into a press)
Thanks guys...I'll check em out.
