Brass Prep Station

Post by buckeye43210 »

Here's my conceptual design for a brass prep station. Glue Lee Cutter Tool (#90110) into first round hole, followed by two Lee Chamfer Tools (#90109) into next two round holes. Then put some 8-32 threaded tools into 1/4" hex standoffs and store them in the smaller six-sided holes.

Here's the latest incarnation of the design. The cutter goes in the top center hole. Chamfer/deburr into the next two holes, and hex standoff mounted 8-32 threaded tools go on the bottom row. The center hex hole could hold an appropriately sized brush...

Just published this new design under my existing bench plate on Thingiverse/3028704. This is Device 13 if you Open in Customizer.

Thinking about designing some smaller 3D printed hex holder inserts to make this project more economical by using wood for the bulk of the plate.

Tweaked the design to add support for the 8-32 threaded chamfer and deburr attachments from the Lyman Case Prep Multi Tool.

Open in Customizer and select device 14...

One of these Countersink bits should work in the chamfer station.
