    Auto 300 blackout cutter

    Had a few hours after supper tonight and threw together another idea I had.Looks like it will cut down 2880/hr .223 cases to be final trimmed for 300 blk.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD2tugzRnD0

    you come up with the best ideas.
    Don't like being hammered by the Cast Boolits Staff, then don't be a nail.
    The rules are simple to follow.

    You and I both, in my case I need to be concerned with power requirements. Living on solar has its draw backs..

    I'm curious how parallel the cut is to the base. The case as we know is tapered and seems to have some wiggle room, unless it's compensated for.

    I had to watch the video twice. That is inspired genius! It does take all the fun out of turning the case trimmer by hand though!

    All the cases I cut had just around .020" runout it could be compensated for by swiveling the table on the drill press though.

    But you are rough cutting them then coming back with final forming and trimming.

    To be honest I don't even own one but yes one would rough cut, size/form the 300 case then trim to final dimention.

    It's a power window motor out of an '82 Ford F150 that I modified.

    A great idea! Can you post a picture of the case once it is cut? I am curious how "rough" the cut is.

    "Rough cut" is noting that is is cut on the long side, so there will be enough left to trim to exact dimension after sizing.

    Once again, I'm in awe of the simplicity that never occurred to me. Nice job.
