Help with a DIY Dillon 650 Case Collator

[CommsNBombs]

The time is fast approaching for me to pick up a Dillon 650. Going to be loading 357SIG, 5.56 and 9mm on it - keeping my cost down as much as possible and part of that is not buying that outrageous case feeder and plates (also Dillon 357 dies) from them - thats almost $450 worth of crap.

I am a pretty handy guy but I have never worked with small motors and mounting solutions. And I do not have a lot of the tools at hand to fabricate, nor do I know the best avenues to do so.

I was wondering if anyone around Clarksville/Nashville area who had the know-how and tools could take me on as a student and help me assemble one. Ill source all the parts and bring of 12 pack of Guiness or some Glen Levit for your time.

Another problem is I dont have the dillon yet so I am not sure about measurements, etc.

TIA guys/gals!

Good luck to you! I've used Youtube and Dillon;s customer service with my 550B and not felt the need for a 650 yet. There is a DIY Case feeder etc for it as well which if I'm reading correctly is what your wanting to do. I hope you have a successful conclusion and post an after action report. Here's a link on a diy set you may or may not have already viewed.

I have not read that one - thank you!

My issues are from how to mount the motor and drive, as well as where to source the materials for the shell plate. I may buy a prefab one but ill be using a 5gal bucket like most of these guys do.
