washerboy Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Has it removable pulleys? Maybe make one to fit if so ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltings Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 gaep reloader are direct drive off a 240v motor approx. 1400rpm or greater so grease it up and use what you got should work spot on if worried about speed try a battery drill (experiment to get best results) again experiment find out what works for you I use a crimp finisher and rto at high speed works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continental Shooter Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I had the same setup for a decade or so; move it to 900 rpm and you're sorted! Most factories use 900 rpm Important notice: you need to oil the hull (and ideally the inside of the finish tool too)to avoid it heating up and melting your crimp. if you want an even better finish, try to polish the inside of the tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
