Yeh, that 2by carrier will work. After 35 yrs. in the termite trade, I could recommmend a better push stick but hey, whatever pulls your socks up and keeps your digits full length.

That looks like an accident waiting to happen.

I like JDW's and my friend Mike Campbell's devices. I have an aluminum rod that fits snuggly in a ten gauge case, roll the shell over a good butcher knife mounted in a vise like handling a rolling pin. As the crimp from each shell is cut, I just slide it up the aluminum rod. My method is simpler than any method I've seen or used until I read this thread.

I'm a big fan of the wooden dowel with an Xacto blade that Philbert suggests. Depth is set by washers on the round headed screw. I've used it for 12 years and it's cheap, fast and effective. However, I prefer a much less agressive angle to the blade.

My vote goes to Mike Campbell. That is pretty ingenius! You could probably do ten (or more)at a time like that. Good luck

Air supply houses sell tubing cutters that mount on a table. They have a cradle that holds the "tube" and a pointed blade to cut. I've used them to cut shells for decorative use. My house has shotgun shells as cup hangers and window treatment pegs, etc.
I think this would work pretty well and us really fast and safe.

I recall an American Rifleman that was describing some sort of short load. They set up a small cutting wheel, (the sort of accessory you buy in a hardware shop), in a hand drill which was mounted on a stand. The shotshell hull was placed on a flat base and slid by hand until the wheel made contact and cut the crimp off evenly all round. Seemed perfect to me.
