NT-4000 PREMIUM NECK TURNING TOOL Reviews & Ratings

SINCLAIR NT-4000 PREMIUM NECK TURNING TOOL

We feel our NT-4000 Premium Neck Turning Tool is the finest, easiest to adjust, most accurate and comfortable to use hand neck turning tool available. Our Premium Tool employs an eccentric mechanism (not an eccentric mandrel) for quick cut depth adjustments which are accurate to .0001 inch with our carbide mandrels. The click adjustable cutter adjustment knob moves the cutter in either direction in .0002 inch to .00025 inch per click increments. Depth of cut can be adjusted a total of .004-.005 inch using the laser engraved adjustment knob. The Premium Tool comes with three laser marked feeler gages which are used to quickly set the cutter depth to the approximate range of the cut desired, and a mandrel adjustment screw is included to make mandrel set up and adjustment easier. with the cutter in range using the feeler gages, the eccentric adjustment knob will make final adjustment for the exact cut thickness you desire. Cutter adjustment is very fast and sure with none of the usual trial and error experienced with other tools. The ergonomic shape of the tool body makes it very comfortable to use and much less fatiguing over a long neck turning session.

2nd One

Even though the tool is very easy to adjust and adjustments are repeatable, I'm lazy and have two 6mm PPC's with different throat Dimensions I figured I'd speed things up. 1st cut is final dim. for one rifle, 2nd cut is final dim. for 2nd rifle.

Great tool, well made!

Awesome tool but somewhere yall forgot to say it ONLY COMES WITH A 30 DEGREE CUTTER BLADE AND YOU NEED TO BUY A SPARE 40 DEGREE BLADE FOR AN EXPANDING ASSORTMENT OF CARTRIDGES..... which Ive now done. Thanks for providing a wonderful, fast and easy to use neck turning tool.

Accurate and Easy to use

I use it to turn 6.5-06 AI brass. I neck .270 brass down and turn it to .013. It is easy to adjust and use. A quality tool. It has a cutter with a regular angle and one with an AI angle.

Excellent tool

I have tried other brands of turning tools and was disappointed.They had staight cut edges with no angle to match the shoulder. It was always hard to determine how deep into the shoulder you where cutting. This turning tool combined with the driver/case holder made the job of 100 cases quick and easy. Followed the directions and checked everything on a culled piece of brass. It was perfect the first time. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to turn case necks.

Disappointed. Cutter Not Aligned.

Was super hyped about this product. Once received and set up, I started to use it and noticed the cutter was not aligned with body and mandrel. It was inclined about 10 degrees. Which caused the cutter is ruin a couple cases. Refer to the image.
