Any chance of a 30 carbine rapid trim die for the 1200 rapid trimmer?

We have tried, but the cartridge is too short- the exhaust hole in the die for the vacuum to suck out brass chips is buried in the toolhead. If you really want one, go to www.ch4d.com- they will make a custom trim die in pretty much any caliber.

Did buried down in the tool head pose any real problems?
I'm not opposed to a little modification.

Without being able to remove the brass trimmings, they quickly wrapped around the shaft of the motor and bound it up. You could use one on a single stage if you machined the head of the frame thinner.

What your thought on milling down an old tool head for a 1050? Just one or two stations, enough to clear the trimmer.

You could probably use an endmill or keyway cutter to thin an area around the toolhead for clearing the vacuum manifold. Wouldn't pose any structural issues.

I keep a RCB electric timmer bolted to the bench dedicated to .30 carbine and my Dillon is dedicated to .223, works for me.
