Auto 300 blackout cutter

Post by jmorris »

Had a few hours after supper tonight and threw together another idea I had.

Looks like it will cut down 2880/hr .223 cases to be final trimmed for 300 blk.

WOW! That thing is great! I'd love to see more info on the motor and drive system.

The motor is a power window motor out of an '82 Ford pickup, that I modified. The drive is just two 1/4" heim joints.

I am interested too. Looks simple enough even I could make it. Maybe some close up pictures and dimensions.

That's like a ball joint right? And what is the plate system that picks up the case and pushes it through the saw blade?

It is a block of UHMW (plastic) that rides inside a 1x2" box tube with most of the top cut off of it.
