Description
The PMA Neck Turning Tool is the best neck turner available today. You know why you need or want to neck turn, but with so many different models on the market, which do you choose? The factors determining your choice of neck turning tools essentially boils down to three key demands; ease and repeatability of adjustment, comfort of use and cut finish. This tool absolutely satisfies these demands.
Our neck turning tool does not use a course or fine drive screw to move the cutter towards or away from the mandrel. We don’t utilize an unnecessary micrometer or dial indicator. Nor do we rotate the mandrel on an eccentric which changes the center of the cut and has inconsistent adjustment. Our Model A neck turning tool simply adjusts by moving the mandrel toward or away from the stationary cutter with VERY minimal backlash. The Model A utilizes a super-fine 80TPI drive screw giving you .0002” adjustment between each mark, the marks have ample space between them allowing you to make adjustments as fine as .0001”. Tool does not include mandrel.

PMA "Model A" Neck Turning Tool
I recently used the PMA Neck Turning tool to turn some new Winchester Brass/204 Ruger. First I ran the neck expander thru the necks, then lubed the turning mandrel and slowly ran the case neck up thru the cutter to the Mandrel stop. ( all cases were trimmed to length, necks chamfered inside and out before turning the necks.) I really like how easy the PMA Model A neck turner makes the job of turning the necks. I'm going to have to try it on some higher quality brass some time.

Great Neck Turning Tool
Been using to neck turn 7mm that has been reduced from 308 brass. Easy to set up and makes quick and accurate work of truing up the neck. The angled cutter ensures you don't impact the shoulder.

Great Tool
Tool is top quality and is easy to use. Directions are easy to understand.

Neck Turning Tool
The tool is great! Moving the mandrel is better than moving the tool bit. Seems to be pretty close to what you dial in on the micrometer. If buying a turning tool for the first time, it would be nice to know about short neck vs regular tool bit. Not readily apparent from the list of choices. The regular bit is very wide. Not what I've seen with other turning tools.

Time Saver Plus
Simple is always best. Set up once, get consistent results, save time at the loading bench.

PMA Neck Turner
I've used several different neck turners in the past - hands down, this is the best. Easy adjustment - easy to use - accurate and repeatable. Highly recommend. I also highly recommend shooting next to Pat during nationals when he misses the 5th shot on a tiny bug hole. Very entertaining. Seriously, PMA tools are the best.

Great no brianer tool!
Very precise adjustment, accurate well machined and designed uses Sinclair mandrels as well as others. Use the PMA holders and a drill and one has a great system
