Default Cutting Jig

For those that use shortened .223 brass, I saw this jig in action on another site, and just ordered one for myself. It's for the harbor freight cutoff saw. Don't yet have personal experience with it, but the video looks promising.

I looked for the cutt-off saw at Harbor Freight last Dec. in Yuma. They did not have one - Maybe next trip?

Looks very interesting.

I made mine so it has the shell holder option to accept and case then it has a fine threaded adjustment screw in the back to fine tune length. It also pivots to swap cases out in the open away from the blade with a non adjustable stop.

I just used a Hornady case trimmer shaft with the quick Lock lever. Set up is pretty quick and once set up it not only goes fast but can cut to a consistent length so I don’t spend much time on the trimmer (if any)

I used some aluminum channel and wilson shell holderrs with an adjustment screw before, but this is much more compact, and the saw isn't going to pull the wilson shell holder out of my hand periodically

I believe those saws are no longer sold at Harbor freight, and I couldn''t fid them in an online search of their site just now. Anyone know of a source of these saws?

Thanks

Try https://www.harborfreight.com/2-in-m...saw-62136.html

Amazon or Walmart.com have them, too. Search for DrillMaster Item 62136

Go to Squirrel Daddy.com for case cutting trimming jig. They are about 1/3 the cost
of the other mentioned jig. Been using one on my small chop saw from harbor freight.
Does the job slick as a whistle.

I’d like to see a video of it in operation. Looks interesting but I’m not sure it’d gain me anything over what I have.

I'd sure hope they'd last longer than the 14"er's I've bought over the years!!

When I was healthy and doing LOTS of cutting and welding for myself and hire jobs as they came in. Was using up a blade sometimes twice a day, bought 'em by 50 at a time, a couple times a year. So you know I was busy.
I had a DeWalt for about 3yrs and burned it up. Bought a HF orange special for $50, got almost 5 years of heavy use from that first one.

Thoughts: "gosh, that was great, I'll get the $80 one and see".
Maybe 90 days it was smoking. Another orange one, barely a month.
'nother half dozen: lasted from 6 weeks to just about a year.

Shucks!!! Bought a $280 Milwaukee. Just over a year and it was gone goose too.
Went back to HF's and just live with 'em. They die, buy another and salvage parts, scrap the rest. Heck of it is, the $50 orange one's have gone up to $80, the grey $80 jobs are $100 now.

Only consolation is I haven't been doing much cutting and welding the past 6 years. Don't know if that's saved me any money or not. Do know I haven't had to buy rod in a long time, and it's sure cut down my income too.

Just beware is what I'm trying to say mostly. Like Lee precision, they sell both great stuff and junk.
Don't think you can beat HF end wrench's. I bought a set and set of letter/# stamps and was going to put my initials on 'em. No mark first three whacks. Looked at the stamp and it was flat! They gave me another set, same thing. Swapped that set too, and just use them for SOFT stuff, & bought an engraver. Hey, that works! So far I've never broken one of their wrench's. Have 'em up to 2 1/2", sockets too. Just can't find a rifle big enough to use 'em on. Most of them have been heavily used over the years too as I was into just about everything when I was busy.
