I think you guys were talking about it.

I need that shell holder for my drill press.

I set a Dillon 650 up like in the video and it seem to be a pain the brass clogs the die up so you have to spend 20 min cleaning out the die and vacuum port for every 80 to 100 you make. I ended up getting a CH Tool and die wisper trim die and setting the cutter up on a single stage press and I seem to cut more per hour now.

I took a simple drill press vise and with the jaws tight drilled a hole in the middle just the right size to hold the case tight. Spinning a 1/2 end-mill at 2000 rpm eats them right up. Repeatability is within .003" and it cuts faster than the mill in the video. I do run them through my wilson trimmer after the final sizing to make sure everything is square. I don't make a lot of brass but I sized, cut, and trimmed 100 cases in a few hours, good enough for me.
