I never have any luck using the search function. I am trying to find the one on making 2 1/2 shells from standard shells. I believe one of our forum members makets it--and does it work well for you. I am tired of switching the mec around and may just go primarily to short shells.
Thanks |

I've cut down hundreds of hulls with this.
A piece of dowel rod with a hole drilled through it and an exacto knife blade driven through the hole. With a large headed metal screw in the end you can adjust just how much you want to cut off the hull. |

I made a slide for my table saw. I cut 11 hulls at a time using a plywood blade. Not hard to make. I would post pics if I had any luck with that. I am a real dinosaur when it comes to computers. If someone would like to post them I can take some pics and forward them to you.
Regards, Gordon |

The one used with the drill motor ( like the byrdog sells ) is way faster . I have done literally thousands with one I made my self .
Or like the others suggest you can buy them
