New Case Trimmer - I'm The Guinea Pig Maybe

[arrowshooter]

Just came across this "new" case trimmer while looking to replace the Lee Trimmer for my .222 Rem. It's kinda nifty in the way you "micro" adjust the cutting length in that you loosen either the top ring or the body, put a feeler gauge in between the thickness you want to adjust, then tighten the set screws back up. It's $56 on Amazon and I'll report back with how it works.

If that doesn't work buy the Giraud tri-way

Trimmer arrived today and it was a snap to setup for my .222 Rem. Adjusted to a finished piece of brass, chucked it up and trimmed away. End result was right on the money. I just ordered three more to retire the Lee Trimmers I have for the rest of my bottle neck cartridges. I will set those up long and use a feeler gauge to test the "micro adjust" portion of the setup which I am sure will be spot on.

As for other styles of cutters, I have never been a fan of the 3-way cutters since they first came out. I like the flat end mills and doing the chamfer and deburring in separate steps so I have better control of how much I take off.

I recommend this product.

Dang, that's a much purdier version (and a lot more mobile) than the Lyman trimmer I have -- though both operate on the same principal.
How much money did it cost?
Did a search and saw the pricing on their website.

Frankford Arsenal sells something like that. But still prefer the WFT even though I need to buy one for each caliber.

The whole reason I sold all my trimmers (Lyman and 2 WFT's) and bought into the Giraud system was the need to eliminate steps for my arthritic hands and I'll tell you this, it definitely helped. I

The Giraud trimmer is adjustable to how much material you can take off for chamfering and deburring, it involves moving the cutter slightly.
After I got my .223 trimmer I started to tinker with it because the factory chamfer/debur setting did not suit my needs. I wanted a little more material taken off the outside rim.
Yes it was a bit of a PITA but I was able to achieve my end result.

Good luck with the new trimmers.
