10gaugewannabee Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 i have a lot of 12gauge shells to de primer over christmas with some friendsto help it along we want to have made this item from woodthe idea is that it fits inside a manual drill press and as such we can have someone else knocking out the primers and case sorting whilst the others do the other loadings and depriming with the other pressesthe sizes might change slightly but that will be discussed with someoneso if your here and you own or can get your hands on a wood lathe can you make this and how much to do sothe primer pin is going to be a small drill bit in reverse so the end will require a small hole drilling into it when your turning it. wood wise i want it to be reasonable hard so i was thinking maple as i have that or beech as i have that as well if you want me to supply the woodfor those that can , it can also be turned in solid plastics if you have that avalible the same with solid metals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbiep Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Agreed regarding a nail. I've used that for years for de-priming 410 cases. Out of interest, the perfect tool for seating primers in 410 (and, I assume other cartridges too) is an empty bit socket on a screwdriver.

chris1961 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) I use the deprimer on my mec before that I made a simple jig for drill press all it was a piece of wood screwed to the bed on the drill then drilled a hole about 10 mill deep so the cart brass was a nice fit not to tightly then changed drill bit to a 6 mill all the way through put a plastic pot under the bed to catch the primers if you don't move the wood it will be central no need to make fancy tools it gets very boring thou simple but works a treat never had one go off yet Edited November 15, 2015 by chris1961 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
