[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dillon 1200 Trimmer setup

Question about the Dillon 1200: How did you guys/gays keep it from vibrating loose? I thought I had it tightened enough, but after 50 or so cases, it statred to come loose. It was the .223 die coming loose from the toolhead. Any suggestions on how to keep it from vibrating loose?

Any the way, this thing is the shit. What do you all use as a vacuum for the brass shavings?

Err, just get the wrench & tighten it more!

I use a DeWalt shopvac & a length of clear tubing for the shavings.

Put a 7/8" star washer under the jam nut and crank the nut down tight- no more loose trimmer.

+1 tighten the lock rings more.

I also put a strip of duct tape around the motor and run it to the case feeder arm (650) to keep the motor from vibrating so much.
