Worlds Finest Trimmer

This little tool took the worst part of reloading and made it easy. I took 20 cases that were cleaned, sized and ready for trim. I ran 10 through my Forrester bench top manual trimmer and 10 through the worlds finest trimmer. The variation in size from case to case was better from this then even my bench-top. There is no comparison to the speed. I had it chucked in my Rigid cordless lithium powered drill and easily trimmed a few hundred rounds in an hour.With this tool and my Hornady Lock and Load Progressive Press, I was amazed at how fast I could make quality rounds, and how much more enjoyable the experience was doing so.I can't say how pleased I am with this tool and intend to buy another for my other calibers.Update: 10Jan2013I just sat down for a batch of 500 reloads I'm trying to get done for the weekend. I started at 8pm and turned on the T.v. cracked a beer, and got to work. By 9pm I had decapped and sized 300 cases (I had started sizing and decapping yesterday). I had trimmed all 500 cases. I had also loaded 200 cases and this was all with a shower and a few trips to the fridge for more beer in the middle of the project tonight. I can honestly say this tool is worth it's weight in gold.It trims so cleanly that it doesn't require deburring.It is so fast and easy I could honestly trim well beyond 500 cases in an hour without any trouble (or hand cramps).It's accurate. See above. I had less variation with this than I did my benchtop Forrester trimmer.There is no downside here. This thing is awesome. I will be ordering my other calibers.

Set once using calipers and you are ready to trim. Great product. Love fact you can replace the end mill with a carbide end mill. Trimmed my first 100 cases.

The trimmer itself works great. I can average about nine cases per minute, so it doesn't take long to knock out a couple hundred. Once I got the gauge set and my fingers calibrated to the right feel, it's cranking out cases trimmed to within +/- a couple of thousandths the ideal length, which is more than accurate enough for my purposes. Below is a description of the relatively-easy modifications I made to make this trimmer work even better. I also included pictures.As some of the other reviews noted, it slings little brass shavings EVERYWHERE. So I modified a mostly-clear bucket that used to contain cotton candy. Clear is essential, as it lets me see what the trimmer is doing. I drilled a hole in the bottom to go around my drill arbor, then cut out most of the removable lid to leave me room to stick my hand in with a piece of brass. Leaving some of the lid around the bottom (when laid on its side) of the bucket helps it catch all of the shavings. I highly recommend taking a break about every 50 rounds. I basically have to in order to give my hand a break from gripping the pieces of brass, but it also gives the trimmer a chance to clean itself out. Shut off the drill, and a bunch of captured shavings will drop out on their own as it slows down and stopped. If you're shaving a lot off, there might also be strands of brass caught in the trimmer. If so, this break is a good chance to poke them out with a little screwdriver. My bucket has plenty of room to reach in and do this without removing the bucket.I made a little stand to hold my drill on my bench. The stand has sticky rubber feet on the bottom, and the drill is strapped down, so it doesn't move when trimming; but I can quickly pop the strap off and use my drill for a drill if needed. The bucket snaps onto a screw in the front of this stand.The drill is variable speed, but instead of using the trigger to control the speed, I use a bench-mounted outlet that runs through a light dimmer. 120 full volts come into the dimmer, then the dimmer controls how much voltage goes to the outlet. I lock the trigger all the way down and plug the drill into this outlet. I turn the knob on the dimmer to speed up or slow down the drill. I push the knob to turn it on or off. This is way more precise, repeatable, and quicker than using the trigger; plus combined with the stand, I'm not constantly having to pick the drill up and set it down. If you need to use the outlet for something else - like the soldering I also do at this bench - you just crank the dimmer up to max and get full 120 volts out of it.Hope these modifications help someone else improve their use of this tool.

Took less than 60 seconds to setup.I trimmed 2,600+ 5.56 cases in about 2.5-3 hours.No further adjustment was needed. It never slipped.I made a DIY chip catcher out of a Gatorade bottle, a must have.I hope they add a similar contraption to their product line in the future.I've tried several trimmers, this thing is fast and leaves a very clean, accurate cut.Square and very easy to deburr. My OALs were as consistent as my shoulder variances allowed.Within the resolution of my calipers.Little Crow, my wish listPackage that includes:1. Whidden bump gauge (or equiv), since it indexes on the datum2. Chip catcher attachment. Spraying chips everywhere, while fun, sucks to clean up lol.3. 3 way trimming like the RCBS Trim Pro 3-Way Cutter4. Feeler gauge strips in case I want to index off my drill chuck while leaving the cutter locked in

It gets everywhere. Great product, just check it for curlies every 50 or so. If cutting down .223/5.56, don't cut them too long, or you'll be spending a lot of time trimming. I cut out the lid to a plastic snack jar and zip tied it in place.

Using it on 223. Easy to set up and get going. I loosened the set screw, put a case in and then placed it on counter and let the bit rest on the cartridge to get the trim height. Also found out that my drill had to go in reverse to cut correctly. This thing will fling some fine shavings. Took the top off a small gatorade bottle and trimmed that down to fit over the dump holes for the shavings. Once I got going each case only took a couple of seconds to get down to trim height. Trimmed about 50 cases in a couple minutes. This will be off by .001 or .002 (states it in the instructions) so you may have to hand trim afterwards if you are making match grade ammo and need that precise of a trim. Did not see it on here, but if you need replacement parts, i.e. bit or other inserts, need to contact Little Crow. This works just great!
