Favorite case holder for a drill

[FunkeyMonkey]

What is your favorite case holder to use a drill?

I bought a K&M case holder but there is excessive wobble when trying to use the neck turner. I know I can let the turner float, but this thing wobble excessively. I found the 1/2 inch chuck on my drill holds the case steady. Is there any issue with using the chuck to hold the case itself? Saw one post suggesting the Sinclair model and other post using the Lee lock stud with length gauge shell holder. What is your favorite method to hold a case when turning case necks?

I use the Sinclairs with the nub that indexes on the primer pocket. Love 'em.

I have a couple of the Sinclair case holders but have never used them. I prefer the 21'st Century drivers that have the O ring on the tip to better grip the case.

I use my Ryobi hammer drill set for slow drilling, it has a 5/8 chuck. Just carefully tighten the check on the case to avoid marking.

I have used this for 20 plus years, simple and automatically centers the case. I've neck turned thousands of cases with this chuck.

When you use your K&M push the case firmly into the back of the U when you tighten the chuck and you wont get wobble from off center case. Also handy trick is to put a strip of gator tape non-skid for ease of tightening/loosening. The K&M is my favorite.

PMA makes this for their case drill adapters that have the post that goes into the primer. The extra leverage really helps.

I’ve been using a huge floor mounted dill press for years.
Thing is older than I am.
Works perfectly but I’m sure it’s not OSHA approved!
But you use your head and hold the cuter so if it grabs it pulls out of your hand and doesn’t take you or your hand for a ride.
This thing has enough torque to do it but just common sense and you’re fine.

Yeah, like AINyhus,I love Sinclair Caseholder too, as it takes so little effort to tighten or loosen making it really easy to mount and unmount a case. All I do is insert a case, hold the case holder lightly giving the drill a quick spin and the case is held snuggly with no wobble. To remove the case, the case holder easily unscrews (a good thing for my old hands) and the case drops out ready for the next. I can't imagine it getting any easier.

i have been using a half inch chuck for 20 years to turn cases.

That'll never work Ray.

1. Too easy.
2. Too cheap
3. Too simple
4. Case has no wobble
5. Easy direction change and easy on hands loosing and tightening case in chuck.

But if you don't have a half inch drill....



Just got done with 300.
