Re: Case Neck Tuning Device

Poking through the posts . Ordinarily I don't give up loading secrets but just this once . Turn the necks with the case neck seated on a mandrel in a lathe . Let the case and mandrel rotate as one .

Re: Atlas Lathe Gears

Dean , Do you have the gear chart (metal plackard) ?
Do you know if you have all the gears ?
I changed mine over to a gear box and have all the change gears if you need any .

After your chamber is done , I'd recommend a kerosafe casting so you can measure exactly what you have . Then you'll know the dimensions your brass will require .

Are you going to polish the bolt before jeweling ? I use the wire brush method , wrapping wire around the brush end to get ni...
