Green means Go!
I use to hate prepping 30 carb brass.


What trimmer and motor are you using? I?m thinking of connecting one of my rc brushless motors to a trim die to trim rifle cases.

Its a 775 DC motor with ball bearing. Had to redtech some fancy stuff to connect it to the trim die. The bracket is just a 90 deg L bracket that is held on with a locknut on the bottom of the toolhead (not enough threads to put it on top with the short 30 carb die).

My first prototype was actually using a RC DC motor and battery. It works, but this one is better. I have a AC/DC adjustable power supply and foot toggle switch that is not in the pic. I'm trying to get up more parts (brackets and power supplies mainly) to sell these as kits at brassbucket.net (check the right hand panel).

This setup is great for non-commercial use, and way better/faster than the hand spin trims or the normal lee quick trim with a hand drill attached. Its cheap enough to have hot swappable dedicated toolheads for each caliber (if you switch calibers a lot). The main disadvantage is no vacuum attachment yet.

More pretty toolheads!

Red will be -06 for the new to me 03A3 - one prep/trim head and one load head
Purple will be 223 for the ho-hum AR - one prep/trim head and one load head
woohoo!

I just got one for my brand new 550. Looks like they offer caliber engraving on the side for the 550 plates, not sure if they do for the 650 plates. Pics when it gets here

They do offer engraving for the 650s too. I can spring for colors, just not engraving. more 650 conv. kit parts due this week and thus more pics of finished setups to come.

I just got a hold of a label gun at work and added a stick-on label. The commercial labels last a long time.

But having it engraved looks so much cooler, and that's what's really important. Isn't it?
