Corbin Power Cannelure Machine Wheel (PCM-W)
Precision and Versatility for Your Canneluring Needs
The Corbin Power Cannelure Machine Wheel (PCM-W) is a crucial accessory for the PCM-2, enabling seamless changes between bullet calibers. Constructed from hardened steel, this embossing wheel is designed to create a serrated cannelure groove with a consistent width of 0.050 inches, tailored specifically for your bullet diameter.
Key Features:
- Customizable Caliber: The PCM-W wheel allows you to match the caliber of your canneluring process precisely to your bullets. When ordering, specify the actual bullet diameter in inches—ensuring a perfect fit for calibers like .224, .357, or .458.
- Depth Adjustment for Versatility: The cannelure depth adjustment on the machine accommodates modest size variations, such as using a .355 (9mm) wheel for a .357 (.38) caliber bullet. However, for the best results, it’s recommended to use specific diameter wheels to avoid noticeable differences in groove depth.
- Optimal Performance: While a .429 and a .452 bullet could theoretically be processed on the same wheel, the best cannelure groove is achieved with dedicated wheels for each diameter. For closely related sizes, like .452 and .458, using the same wheel will yield excellent results.
- Precision Height Adjustment: Position the cannelure from the bullet base using precision spacers (.027 and .048 inches) placed on the drive shaft. This allows for optimal vertical positioning of the wheel. The groove's offset design enables you to flip the wheel over, providing even more height options.
- Secure and Easy to Use: The wheels fit over a vertical shaft with a drive key, ensuring proper alignment. A collar with a set screw holds the wheel securely in place, and it should always be fastened on a flat surface of the shaft or on the key face.
- Compatibility with Carousel Feeder: Specific wheels are designed for optimal use with the optional carousel feeder, allowing for efficient processing of your bullets. The provided spacers can be combined to achieve any practical position for the cannelure ring.
- Quality Assurance: For the highest quality results, each wheel is best suited for a specific bullet diameter, with a tolerance of about .003 inches. This precision ensures that the cannelure is accurately formed, enhancing the overall quality of your bullets.
The PCM-W wheel is not just an accessory; it’s an essential tool that enhances the functionality of your Corbin Power Cannelure Machine. Elevate your bullet manufacturing capabilities with the precision and reliability that only Corbin can offer!

The standard width for the cannelure groove is 0.050 inches, featuring vertical serrations for effective engagement.
You can adjust the position of the cannelure from the bullet base using precision spacers (.027 and .048 inches) on the drive shaft. The offset design of the groove allows you to flip the wheel for additional height options.
For bullets longer than 1.5 inches or with cannelures positioned more than 0.8 inches from the base, a custom backing plate may be required for proper support.
Yes, specific wheels are designed to work with the optional carousel feeder for efficient processing of bullets.
Order the wheel based on the actual bullet diameter in inches, not by the caliber name. For example, a .223 caliber bullet has a diameter of 0.224 inches, so you would need a .224 wheel.
