Currently I have the RCBS Trim Pro, with the motor attachment. It's a great trimmer especially with the 3-way cutter head.
However, it cuts to slowly! So I removed the factory motor and I am just using a power drill to up the RPM's slightly. It cuts much faster now!
I think RCBS should think about upping the speed a bit from 175 RPM's to around 500 - 1000, maybe even have a variable speed on it.
Anyway... back to the subject at hand.
I'm looking at in stalling my own after market motor, and just run the cutter off of the motor via direct drive. I'm just not sure where to begin to look for what type of electric motor I should use. It would need enough power to trim the case obviously, but I would also probably have to turn down the RPM's a bit via a speed control.
Has anybody done this sorta thing before? I've seen some other trimmers like the Gracey and the Gerard (spelling issues there), but they all have such huge motors, I would think there would be something smaller, more the size of a drill motor. Perhaps I could just strip down and old drill or something.
