Unimat

Borrowed it off of a friend. It worked excellent. I was able to put a dowel in the chuck and support the 45 colt case. Then I put a small bit in the stationary chuck that fit into the primer pocket. The cutting bit I could use would cut the case off to close to 45ACP length. I then could chuck the case in the lathe the same way and use a hacksaw blade and thin the rim from the inside while it was spinning. A trip through a trim die and voila! A long Mk1 case. It took 4 or 5 hours to make a hundred. Wont be doing that much again that's for sure.
