Anyone use this? Success?

Anyone motorize one?

This is from posts I have read over the years; people start with this trimmer and end up buying something else later.



Depends on how much trimming you will do and your budget.

This just came out this year, it's their press mounted trimmer. If it wasn't for clearance issues with the crank, you could reload rifle in a single pass. Hence the evil plot to motorize it.

I've used the cutter and lock stud job in my drill press. It works, but it's time consuming and hard on one's fingers!

Sorry, I was thinking the Zip trim.

 






So this is a die that mounts in a press, then you insert trimmer (you buy this separate from die) into the case.














Let us know how it works out.

I bought this and the deluxe handle/trimmer.

3 days after delivery and going as slow as it did I forked out for the WFT.

Interested in what another user thinks about it.


It's definitely a steal for a small batch guy though.

I bought one a while back and hated it. Sat in storage since. I just use my possum trimmer now...

I'd love to get the dillon or a giraud someday, but for now the possum is fine. WFT is another option similar to the possum...

I get a kick out of that thing.  Makes me think of Ammish reloading.

I use it for my low-volume calibers, and like it a lot.

Anything high volume, I stick with my possum hollow and similar trimmers on my drill press.

I also use the Quick-Trim to cut my nickel-plated 9x19 cases to 9x18 for Mak use.  Slow-going, but I typically only do a handful at a time.
