    SDB question

    Was thinking of ways to light my SDB like you can with Dillon 550 and 650
    wonder if I could drill a small hole in the center and then use one of those very small LEDs to provide lighting. Would have to go through the tool head as well as the body to do this.

    any thoughts??

    I think you want a sewing machine light.

    I tend to do little add-on's from time to time. My SDB is set up like this and the lights work quite well. Added a little alum channel tube for a counter that works better than it original setup was. Now holds the clip-on LED's which are easily aimed and cheap on Ebay.

    Hope the pictures help some.
