casquillo

[tullius]

Needed a smaller one for some 36 rg I'm working on, went looking around for something to use. Lightbulb went on. Couple of twists with a chamfer and deburring tool and it's very sharp. Obviously this has been deprimed and cleaned very thoroughly.

The word for "cartridge" in spanish is casquillo.

Awesome.

 

[MarcL]

I thought I saw a new tool in your last stic-pic. nice ingenuity.

 

[Charly]

Good idea to convert this thing into something non-violent

 

[tullius]

May actually be more violent, not sure. Still continues its work as part of a hole punching team, but much cheaper and quieter to run now.

Now why didn't I think of that....have a couple deburring tools and a horde of brass...

 

[tullius]

Now why didn't I think of that...

...before I got more than halfway done wrapping that 10 pack of thirty sixers.

n.b.: this is actually a touch small for 36rg if you use it flat, at least the way I roll, but it works well if you do the tilt-and-roll a bigger circle routine

this trick works across the board: you can use 3 or so different diameter casquillos and cover the entire range of rolled cigars

Yeah, I wish I had three. I have two, spread pretty far apart. One I use for like 38-46, and the other for 48-54. I could really use something unique to the 44-48 range.

this trick works across the board: ...

this is what I do. .. one tool, all size caps.

 

[waikikigun]

Although.... If I could have five sizes, I'd be happy too.

 

[tullius]

If I could have five sizes, I'd be happy to.

I have a lathe. I'm sure we could work something out

 

[waikikigun]

I need something with a cutting diameter of ~48. I paid two robustos each for the two I have now. The maker was a friend of a fellow roller; I haven't seen the roller around for a couple years now. I think at the time I inquired as to the possibility of a middle size but I think the dude didn't have pipe in that range.

Copy that, I'll dm you on the details rather than cluttering up the thread here.
