chaz Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hi folks, The picture shows a Lyman case prep centre with a LEE Precision hand operated case trimmer screwed into one of the rotating points. Would I be right in thinking someone has worked the Lee hand trimmer down in diameter on a lathe. Then cut the threads to fit the Lyman thread pattern enabling it to screw into one of the rotating positions on the Lyman case prep? I presume it can't be bought, as I've looked. Feel free to make me look a prat and find one for sale. And lastly, If it has to be made from the Lee trimmer, can anyone out there help me, by turning my trimmer down and threading it on your lathe. If someone can help, then I would obviously pay for work. Thanks all. Chaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy W Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 I have the same You put the case in the case holder, then lower it by hand onto the trimmer until it stops trimming. Same as normal but it used the prep station instead of a cordless drill etc etc When I get mine out of storage I will have a look. I seem to recall I bought the bottom part online, already prepared for the prep station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted December 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Thanks Roy. Sorry to be dim, but am I right in thinking you bought one pre-made or adapted? Or you turned yours down yourself with a lathe? Cheers Chaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
