Bought the tool, expander die and various mandrels. Liked everything about the system except the actual cutter. Unfortunately this makes the entire system unusable for me. Cuts a very small groove that made it impossible to get a nice clean even cut for me. I imagine it would work great if you had a lathe. I also own a Marquart and K&M tool both of which give a much smoother cut.
Great tool, bad mandrels (avail. sizes) 10/05/2013
IMO, neck turning works best (wall thickness consistency) AFTER the necks have been expanded (NOT sized down).
This tool works very well in getting that job done, the problem is that the available stock mandrels allow far too much slop/play as the brass is being turned to get the results the tool is capable of.
For example, I am using it for .338LM and even WITHOUT expanding the necks, the only available .335"dia mandrel allows far too much slop; expanding the necks to get a ROUND, CONSISTENT neck for turning purposes makes it far worse.
As such I had a custom mandrel made locally to get the job done which cost me as much as the tool itself.
And while I understand that keeping the tool simple and therefor keeping the cost down was probably a primary consideration, the unidirectional depth setting aspect of the tool can be tedious, however the setting is repeatable so it's not too bad to back off and approach your desired depth again.
