Thread: Automated case trimming.

  1. #1

    Automated case trimming.

    Does anyone know if there is some sort of a flexible cable that allows me to run one end into my drill's chuck and the other end to a 1/4" bit?

    not sure how the flex shaft is going to work for you, are you thinking of attaching it to the trimmer somehow? What trimmer do you have? I use Wilson/Sinclair with a power screwdriver attached to it, not super fast rotation, but faster than I'd do it by hand. The driver is small enough to just lay there, semi supported by it's handle when I'm not holding it.

    Here's a flexible shaft with a 1/4" hand chuck for $25.00

    I just use a small rechargeable driver with my Lee Quick trim deluxe. I'm not sure I want the trimmer spinning all the time.

    Have you considered a GTC Trimmer? I love mine.

    Thanks guys. Not sure about the dremel stuff. I looked at that before posting, but I have t admit, I can't figure out if it will work with a standard chuck or not. I found this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017YVV5R4?psc=1 from one of the other links above, and it looks like it might work.


    I've tried almost all the trimmers out there, and I don't find the more expensive ones to work measurably better than the cheapest ones. Slightly easier and faster, but not as fast as I would like, and certainly not worth the price difference. I have not tried the Dillon trimmer, though, and I hear good things about that set up.

    Anyway, I thought I'd try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_COpV_tArjQ

    Have you used the GTC? It takes care of length and in+out mouth bevel, at the same time, in about 3-5 seconds per case. It doesn't get much faster.
