Which cordless drill for neck turning?

I used a Porter Cable 1/2" drill with a 18v Li-ion battery. You need a good bit of torque and those little screwdriver handles are good for only about 25 cases before you drain the battery.

I use a cheap cordless screw driver from wal-mart. Low speed,works good for me.

Neck turning?

As in skimming off the thick side....like one or two, maybe three thousandths of an inch...off of maybe 50% of the neck, at the most?

A power tool, for that?

Really?

Tripwire I think you forgot a zero, ten thousands is more like it. Heat is the enemy when neck turning, 180-200 rpm is about the fastest I would recommend, if the turning mandrel gets hot the cuts will not be uniform and your wasting your time.
