Forster Products Classic Case Trimmer - Reloading Tool for Rifle & Pistol Brass - Perfect for Ammo Reloading & Gunsmithing at Home or Range

Forster Case Trimmers The proven way to control costs and produce precise ammunition is to prep and condition cases yourself. Forster’s Case Conditioning System is built around a miniature lathe that not only trims the case neck to length, but also fits with the industry’s widest range of compatible conditioning tools. Four staggered-tooth cutting edges guide these trimmers to fast, smooth, chatterless cutting for perfectly square case mouths. Each bearing is honed by hand to fit the cutter shaft. Since cases stretch when fired, the first step in reloading is to return them to a consistent length, ideally the minimum that the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) specifies. Measure each case from base to mouth and then trim to the correct depth. Trimming will improve the precision of your handloads, as well as safety, by ensuring that the case mouth will not contact the chamber mouth. Original Case Trimmer The old standby for most calibers! Trims most standard calibers from 17 cal (.171”) to 460 cal (.459”), such as 223 Rem, 308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 30-06. Also available in a kit with an assortment of collets and pilots. Plus, Forster manufactures the only Case Trimmer that holds the case in a Brown & Sharpe-type collet – keeping your trimming depth consistent, even when the rim diameter varies. Classic Case Trimmer The Classic Case Trimmer is designed for more than 300 big bore calibers from popular big game rifles to classic black powder calibers. For collectors of vintage firearms, for “cowboy” competitors and reenactors, and for owners of fine English single and double rifles chambered in hard-hitting calibers like .500 Nitro Express, .416 Rigby, 50 Sharps, or .475 Nitro Exp, this is the hand case trimmer that will allow accurate reloading. Power Case Trimmer This Case Trimmer fits on most standard drill presses and provides a very fast way to trim cases while still maintaining accuracy. The Power Case Trimmer accepts 17 cal to 460 cal cases, in a special vertical base that you can align with your drill press for fast, high-volume Case Trimming and Conditioning. Collets and Pilots are interchangeable with the Original Case Trimmer. Power Adapter An easy and affordable way to turn any of your Forster Products miniature lathe Case Trimmers into a powered Case Trimmer. The Power Adapter allows you to use any power screwdriver or drill instead of the crank on the Original or Classic Case Trimmer. The Adapter is useful for automating all case neck and primer pocket conditioning. Case Trimmer Collets and Pilots These required accessories are ordered based on your case and bullet dimensions to align the rim and neck of the cartridge along the trimmer's center axis. A Case Trimmer Collet securely holds and centers the case head for neck and shoulder operations. Forster Collets are unique in that they ensure that variations in case head diameter will not affect trim length. Collets are required for all Case Trimmers. Note: Original and Classic Case Trimmer Collets are not interchangeable. The Case Trimmer Pilot, ordered according to the bullet diameter, functions as a mandrel that precisely guides the Case Trimmer cutter. A Pilot is needed for all case trimming, and it is also compatible with the Co Ax Case & Cartridge Inspector. Note: Original and Classic Case Trimmer Pilots are interchangeable. Forster Products 3-in-1 Case Mouth Cutter: Combine case trimming, inside deburring, and outside deburring into one fast, easy step. With the 3-in-1 Case Mouth Cutter, you can trim from 250 to 400 cases per hour. Ours is the first – and only – three-in-one cutter on the market to use high-quality blades made from U.S.-manufactured carbide.
