I've started to get things moving again, waiting on parts from eBay being the main hold up. I picked up some 3mm aluminium pieces and I tell you cutting that round piece was a labour intensive and unpleasant experience :shock:

The motor speed control is an awesome piece of kit and well worth the $9 and month wait while it came from China. It is adjustable and has a digital display which shows the percentage of max voltage, throwing the multimeter on I found it very accurate so repeatable settings will be a breeze.

Nice one.

Looking forward to seeing the finished full metal unit.

I like Skippies - looks like a great bit of kit.

I ended up purchasing the Bench-Source version from http://www.bench-source.com/id81.html for an all up cost of $785 AU delivered to Sydney which includes the regular top plate plus the 50BMG version. I'm getting butt surfed by some companies trying to charge me Bull$h1t amounts for Barrett 416 brass so "F" them all and I'm going to make my own and this type of machine is mandatory when reforming the 50BMG down to 416.
How's my posting?

I'd seen his earlier video's but not since it's been finished, looks great! Those motor speed controllers up top are the same I'm going to use. I only have a basic home workshop and finding working with aluminium is not as easy as I'd liked but I'll stick with it.

I did have the thought off selling them but I've got a bit on at the moment and could see myself getting in way over my head. I'm just happy to share the design (be it a ripp off of benchsource ;) ) and see what others can come up with.
