Yes, that can be done. For a few hundred. The motor doesn't like the abuse for long and the chips will eventually clog the vacuum hose.
The bearings on the motor can be replaced but what usually happens is the aluminum end caps wallow out. This can be fixed with filled epoxy after wrapping the OD of the bearings in PTFE tape so the bearings can be removed. You are making a good bit of brass wool there  |

Actually it's done about 5000 cases and is still going strong. No bearing issues either Today we did 1000 cases |

Awsome, wish I had the funds for a dillon setup. Brass is even getting pretty hard to find at a decent price.

I have a friend that makes 300 blk on his 1050.
He says the key is to slowly raise case into the trimmer, so as to not overload trimmer. He normally will do runs of about 500 and then let trimmer cool down. Thanks for posting the video of your method.

Yea, I've done 10s of thousands with my 1200 and can't see any ill affects. Like another said. The key is to do it in shorter batches and then let cool.
