Case Feeder Power
Quote from Reloader on July 4, 2016, 8:01 pmI am the VERY happy camper with my new Dillon XL650 and a Dillon Case feeder. My concern is the health of my new case feeder. The motor turns on and off for ever 9mm round. That is a lot of being turned on and off again. Normal motors do not like that very much, are Dillon motors super motors?
I am wondering is there is some kind of after market timer that can be plugged into the 110 volts and cycle power at a different interval? Something like on for a min off for a min or something like that.
I load slow like a old fart, in fact I am a old fart so I guess everything is normal here so there is very little chance of me out running the case feeder.
Thanks for any info anyone sends my way.
