I’m going to convert you to using an auto feed system once I finish it this fall.![]()
Why have auto feed? Because you can. It is another challenge to meet and defeat. Have a look at my post way back on page 53 for a very simple and non-technical auto feed. All made in my shed with wood and hand tools. Like you I have basic electric / electronics skills and I managed to put this together without too much drama - and it works !! A few minor improvements since then but still the same basis device. Over 5,000 cases now and it still works perfectly.
And here is a YouTube of my auto feeder in action.
