Looking to buy a 110 volt Neck turning motor

[Shooter13]

Since you prefer turning at the faster rpm’s have you considered a small drill press?
You could put the case holder in the chuck and hold the PMA turner in a wooden hand screw vise floating on the table. Like this but without the second clamp.

Those have to be the prettiest floors I've ever seen a drill press on!!!

LOL! Definitely not mine! That’s a stock photo from the Rockler website.

I picked up a small Hardinge speed lathe real cheap at an auction. Added a vfd to get the 3 phase and speed control. Using a collet with a spring ejector, I never need to stop the spindle. Using pma turning tools. Definately more than just a motor, but it works great. Grainger is your motor source.

Wes, have you considered building your own? Stepping motors, controllers, pulleys, toothed belts, etc.. (typically used for 3D printer/CNC routers and such) are readily available and inexpensive on Amazon and E-bay. Variable speed, forward/reverse, rapid start/stop would be possible.

What trigger-jerker said was a good idea. Reding makes a base that has a collet style device that will clamp on a cartridge rim. I bought one of these to OAL trimmer my 223 cases, I had a Delta bench size drill press that seemed perfect for the job. It was not the depth stop on most of the newer designs has a drum with a wing nut that is used to set the max depth of the quill. This type is not repeatable enough to use with the fine tolerances we need for cartridge cases. The olde style that has an all thread on the side of the machine to set the depth is needed to be usable. That said maybe a real machinist lathe to turn necks like Jackie does, then the money you spend has a second use beyond turning necks???

For doing large amounts of cases, the K&M single spindle unit is the box I'd check.

I built a neck turning machine about eight years ago. The speed of my motor is 181 rpms. The motor is a Dayton gear motor which has good torque. I found that adding a gripping wheel to the shellholder along with an extended stud made it much easier to remove the neck turned case. In addition, I used a paddle wall switch for turning it on and off which was easy to control. I turn PPC, BR and .222 brass and have found this method to give very good turned necks in a reasonable period of time.

I built one out of a gear motor with an adapter i made to accept a K&N case holder. It works great.

Thanks for all the input.
I purchased a Benchrite motor and it seems to work just fine. Its a little slower than I am used to, but the cuts are just as smooth.
