I got a mini lathe for Christmas. It has in those couple of weeks become indispensable to reloading for me. I've since made custom punches for my boolit sizer dies, custom boolit seaters (that don't deform the point) and a really nifty adapter for my Lee perfect powder measure to mate to my expander dies.
Here it is installed
It frees up a lot of space on my bench that is no longer dedicated to the powder measure and its stand, and it saves me a little time combining case-mouth expansion and powder dispensing into one step. I do have the automatic dispenser too but it doesn't measure my flake powders very well. I was going to get the Lee automatic drum measure, but for the price I didn't think it would save me much more time than this set up does. in any case it's an idea I thought was worth sharing.
