Thank you for taking the time to respond. It seems like you have a great deal of experience. Honestly, I hope to never trim that many pieces of brass. I simply enjoy tinkering with my trimmer on occasion.
One thought I have when I read about you guys burning up motors is: why don't you design your own trimmer or redesign the Dillon trimmer to take a readily available replacement motor? I am thinking back, and I seem to remember finding the source of the motor that Dillon uses, but I don't remember the price. However, if you are being covered under Dillon's warranty, I guess it gives less motivation to reinvent the wheel.
I haven't really used mine enough to determine the major "do's and don'ts." I am just trying to get an idea of a good starting point.
The last time I used my trimmer I used a small shop vac. I have a much larger one that I will use to see if I get better results.
One final thought:

the dillon cutters are expensive and have to be amortized in.

Are you buying cutters from Dillon rather than a supply house? Or did you mean "trimmers" when you said "cutters?"
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience
