[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 4494570, member: 5958"] chuck the cutting tool into a variable speed drill (this is where an el cheapo Harbor Freight drill press can shine). Adjust the speed of the drill to slow. It will require about 3-->5 seconds per piece of brass to pick it up, touch it against the rotating tool, set it down. You will develop a system for using both hands and once you have the routine in place you can do all of them in a little over an hour. Downsides: Your hand will cramp. You may drift off into dreamland only to be awakened by a sharp pain where the cutting tool gets your fingers or hand. Stay awake. You will realize after decapping and swaging all those once fired brass you need to FL size. When you try to seat a bullet you will see the brass is not chamfered and you are peeling copper off the bullet or collapsing the brass. Back to the slow-speed drill, a chamfer tool, and dig in for another hour or so. I did about 4,000 223. [/QUOTE]
