Neck turning

[Lkwebb]

When using a pma neck turner or a pumpkin. Do you hold the turner tight with your hand or let if float

 

[Dave M.]

A little of both. It's more about keeping the cutter straight. So you have to move with it some. I keep my hand on the cutter resting on the bench and move the drill and brass into the cutter. I also rest the corner of the drill battery on the bench. So it all has to move a little together. It's kinda of a dance but it works for me. What ever it takes to get the job done in the most accurate manner.

I'll give that a try. I was pretty much laying the drill against the table and moving the pma tool back and forth .
Ill try it the other way

This is how I was introduced to turning brass.

You would figured I would have learned it by now after 3 years of playing with this stuff..lol

This ^^^is how I was introduced to turning brass, I advance the cutter to about one revolution into the neck shoulder junc

I guess it depends on how steep the shoulder is. Thanks.

Thanks. Laying the cutter on the table is making consistent brass now.... thank you for the suggestion
