Neck turning

[Ken_Winters]

For those that neck turn, what tool set up are you using? Would you recommend it?

K&M Precision neck turning kit. Excellent and easy to use. If you can afford the carbide tools from them, the are worth it over the regular steel. Much smoother cutting and expander mandrels.

I use the k&m also. It’s done well for me.

Another vote for K&M here, if you are after that "little extra" that consistent neck tension can give you. Mine works great and is easy to use and adjust. Oh, and I second the "go carbide if you can".

I've never used neck turning tool, the little research I've done(basically none) I'm understanding it's for precision contricicity of the neck tension. Right. Next question, do they sell a whole k&m neck turning kit in the case already put together? Thanks

I use Hornady and have no complaints. There was a learning curve as with most tools.
I use both manual and power adapter without difference.
In hind sight i would look closely to a tool where the pilot is also a reamer

the k&m web site has a kit order option, in which you select which components of the kit you want, ships in a case. About 250 if you get it all. I'm looking at the 21st century lathe kit. I have a lot of brass.
