Roll Crimping

[Cory Rams]

I played with the drill enough now that the points are not catching properly. It seems to vary its speeds up and down by itself and then shut off. I’ll stick one of my modern drills in the press for the time being.

A "Wall Hanger", will look great on the wall in the garage! But I think you did well on the press. I was looking for something similar a while back and found mostly import junk. Certainly nothing as well built as that old Craftsman. That thing will wear out a couple of drills and still be kickin'.

I almost passed on the drill to begin with but grabbed it because it was laying next to the press. Your right about that press. It’s built like a tank. Figured it will outlast me. I looked at some of modern presses that accept a drill. They look like dollar store imports that would probably not make it through a session of crimping before it failed.

Corey, I can't remember if you said, but you may be better off with a newer drill if you're rolling plastic hulls. Speed helps get the case lip warm for a nice turnover, and as well as they were made, the older corded drills don't turn up all too fast.
