Neck Turning Tool

[Ackley Kid]

Sinclair NT 4000/ priemium is another user friendly unit . Detent ball can be removed for finer adjustment if required . All the tools guys have presented will serve you well ! If you are doing any volume of cases I would highly suggest , turning under power ( driver , or lathe set up )

I have just started to turn necks, starting with .223AI and .308. I usually don't like to drop serious coin on something new; and, it's also nice to have a backup later if you upgrade. I just purchased this:

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/142913/rcbs-hand-held-case-neck-turner-pilot-22-caliber
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/167129/rcbs-hand-held-case-neck-turner-pilot-30-caliber

for a grand total of $77.00 shipped (caught 'em on sale). It gives me a place to start and learn. The nice thing about manual is that when you upgrade the process is better understood.

Probably get flamed for this but I also thought you might like the "entry level" and cheaper option. I literally have never seen turned necks outside of Youtube and am learning the process as I go.

K&M for me, I switched from Forster as the cutter angle matched the shoulder 300 WM. I use it with a low speed drill.

I’ve used a Hart, Sinclair, K&M and pumpkin. Pumpkin hands down of the 4 but since it’s not made anymore I’d recommend the K&M if you only want to buy new. PMA and 21st century look nice but I’ve never used one. You’d probably be happy with any of those.

You can pay more, but you won't get a better one than this.

not so sure about that , have read some negative reviews

I have and like the Sinclair. In particular, I like the cutting depth adjustment knob adjustment it has and that the mandrels are all carbide steel.

I understand, the competition can sit idly by an do nothing, right?

I all most pulled the trigger on that one, then read the bad reviews . for now i'll stick with the lyman . I dont use the whole jig . just the cutter head powered by a 1/2 drill . it actually works rather well.

21 Century easy to use.

Have two of the Hornady neck turning lathes. IMO, they are good for rough turning necks slightly oversized. I start with over size necks & then follow up with the K&M turner, this process can consistently get your necks to +/- .0001.
