Looking for an idea for cutting tool

[Mastermind]

Wife has recently been making bullet jewelry, and cutting the slices of bullet cases has proven to be the most difficult part of the process. Been using a Dremel tool with cut off wheel, takes forever. Made a jig for the bandsaw, bullet gets too hot. Been putting some of the longer cases in my cordless drill Chuck and spinning them in a pipe cutter, but won't work for 9mm etc.
So I'm trying to figure out a mini cutoff wheel, lathe or something else that can make this process quick and easy, without breaking the bank or taking a massive amount of machining/fabrication.

So, any ideas from fellow tool junkies?

I use one of these to cut brrass cartridge case. It works very well.

the blade that came with mine had a hard time cutting through 1/8” aluminum stock. i replaced the stock blade with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S6DTT0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 it cuts right through it now

Maybe I'm missing something but why not just buy bullets instead of loaded ammunition?

Lathe, 7 x 10 with a parting tool should work like a champ.

Post a pic of what to are doing.

And please learn proper terminology, sounds like she is making jewelry from brass casings, not bullets.

I always browse their flyers and emails and never saw that little guy. Thanks, I will remember that for future reference.

Yes, casings. Empty brass,spent shells, whatever you wanna call them. Cutting the end off like a coin, so as to read the caliber/size etc. Sometimes removing the primer and replacing with a jewel/gemstone.

I have done that... I used a dremel. I made a wood dowel that holds the brass... in a vise.

I would rather get that HF saw... but the dowel trick solves holding the brass without distorting it.

If it was me I think I would try using a drip press or clamping a drill in a vise.
Put a piece of metal round stock, a bolt, or a dowel in the casing so you can clamp it well with the chuck
Then I would spin it and use the dremmel to part it off.

If you can find a cheap lathe then that would be good to
