PCM-2 power cannelure machine has a 6 by 7 inch foot
print, with 11 inch height. It can be ordered with standard
115-125v 50-60hz or optional 220-240v 50-60hz at the same
price. The machine is designed for continuous production
duty, with ground steel top plate and heavy duty bearings
for the air-cooled gearmotor drive.
The machine is priced with ONE CALIBER of hardened cannelure
wheel included. Additional calibers are available by ordering
other wheels, within the .17 to .458 range, and by ordering
both additional wheels and possibly a different backing plate
for larger calibers (contact us about unusual requirements,
special lengths or diameters beyond the normal range - we do
custom work to use the machine for other purposes, such as
case crimping, fishing pole ferrule manufacturing, etc.)
In use in famous-name bullet production lines, the PCM-2
is equally at home in the R&D lab, where it can be safely
hand fed up to 30 bullets per minute. The machine comes
with a replaceable cannelure wheel for one specific bullet
diameter, which can be adjusted accurately for depth. The
position of the cannelure relative to the bullet base is
set by steel spacer shims and by turning the offset cannelure
wheel over on the shaft. A set of spacers comes with the
tool, and additional spacer sets can be ordered.
Bullets with a flat base and a short height to diameter
ratio can be fed through without any special support or guide
mechanism. Bullets with a long height to diameter ratio or
boattail bases, which may tend to tip over easily if not
supported, can be reliably fed through using a carousel
support option, which rotates freely on the shaft and is
driven at a speed related to the rotations of the bullet
rather than the speed of the cannelure wheel. Simply dropping
bullets between the support posts assures that the
cannelures will be straight, even, and the bullet will not
ride up or tip over.
Additional hardened and ground wheels are available with
standard .050-width serrated rings, or built to custom
order with more than one embossing ring or different shapes
and widths of grooves. The tool does
not cut or remove metal. It presses the cannelure ring
into the bullet, maintaining exact weight.
The unit comes with a positive "off" center position,
reversing switch, so that the machine can be reversed to
clear a bullet during setup, but cannot accidently be put
in reverse by brushing the switch. A powder-coated steel
cabinet protects the machinery, which circulates air from
the bottom and comes with four rubber feet to protect the
surface on which it is placed.
This is the wiring to the forward-off-reverse switch, which determines which voltage the machine should use. An electrician can change these connections to switch from one voltage to another, but we do not recommend user-attempted modification. Only a qualified electrician with experience in wiring and soldering should attempt to make these changes. However, if you order the machine for the voltage you need, we send it set up and ready to run on that voltage. The machine will operate on either 50 or 60 hz frequency regardless of voltage.
