STAINLESS ULTIMATE TRIMMER Reviews & Ratings

ULTIMATE STAINLESS STEEL CASE TRIMMER WITH STAND

The legendary L.E. Wilson Case Trimmer has just gotten better. Exclusive to Sinclair International, the L.E. Wilson Case Trimmer is now offered in a Stainless Steel model. We’ve paired the most accurate trimmer in the world with our Sinclair Micrometer head to create the Sinclair Stainless Ultimate Trimmer.

The L.E. Wilson Case Trimmer aligns and holds your cases square to the cutter during the trim process. This results in a virtually identical trim length for each case. It is accomplished with L.E. Wilson’s unique case holder system which holds the case by the body taper. The trimmer case holder, cutter housing, and micrometer adjustment unit sit in perfect alignment. No pilots or collets are utilized which could influence the trim results negatively. Now in stainless steel, the L.E. Wilson Trimmer is built to last for a lifetime of use.

Our Sinclair Micrometer head allows the reloader to easily adjust trim length in increments of .001" with an adjustment length of over 2". Our micrometer reads in “actual” case length, making it the most pleasurable micro trimmer to work with. Determine your trim length, dial to the exact length on the micrometer, and you’re ready – it’s that simple. The micrometer features crisp, easy-to-read engravings and may be locked in place when set. Easily accommodates cases from 22 Hornet to 416 Rigby. When trimming cases shorter than 1.3” such as pistol cases, the use of a spacer (#749-002-094) is necessary.

Completing the Sinclair Stainless Ultimate Trimmer is our Sinclair Mounting Stand with Shark Fin Clamp. This system makes easy work of installing and removing your trimmer case holder in a smooth “swing-arm” motion. The Shark Fin trimmer clamp secures the case head firmly against the micrometer adjustment head for a quick and accurate, chatter-free trim. * Trimmer Case Holders and accessories sold separately.

Simply the Best

I can't imagine how to make this a better product. Perhaps by bundling it with a Redding powder measure stand clamp that I use to hold it onto my reloading bench. The micrometer is both accurate and precise. I can quickly develop a rythym with the Wilson case holders to pick up a shell, tap it in, trim, then tap it out. All with my left hand while the right operates the clamp and the handle.

the best trimmer on the market

easy to use once you do a couple pieces of brass , not much more to say than what everyone else has said ,great trimmer

Fantastic Product!!!!!!!

I just received my Sinclair Stainless Ultimate Trimmer and it doesn't get any better than this. Very easy to use, but more importantly is that it is spot-on accurate. I was trimming some 30-06 Springfield brass and I set the trimmer to the trim to length of 2.484 inches. I measured every trimmed case with my calipers and each case was perfectly trimmed. Every case was perfect in length and the case holdder keeps the case mouth perfectly aligned with the cutter. There is not one bad thing I can say about this product. It is truly awesome.

Great trimmer

Decided to take the plunge and buy a good and accurate case trimmer. After reading the reviews of different trimmers I settled on the LE Wilson trimmer. Boy I could not be happier. First case I trimmed was spot on for size. The micrometer makes it easy to change from one case to next and know you are at the correct size every time. The only con it the cost and needing a different shell holder for each different case. But that is just a onetime cost and this trimmer will last a life time. I have a little rule when buying tools, if you are only using the tool once buy a cheap one and if you plan to use the tool often buy a good quality tool. This is as good quality tool on the market as you'll find. They named this tool correctly when they called it the Ultimate Trimmer.

Excellent Trimmer - the most accurate

The perfect trimmer, although a tool to attach a power driver would be nice.

BEST ON THE MARKET

This is a trimmer where the micrometer actually correlates to the amount of material being removed. I love the machine.

Great Trimmer

Best I have used. Consistency is to the .0001" (ten thousandth). Cuts mouth perfectly square and makes for easy chamfering. Also does other operations like inside reaming (removing doughnut), and primer pocket uniforming. Cutter is very high quality and cuts quickly. I built a 3" wood block to mount mine on and just tap the cases out of the holders with a folded up rag. Clamp it to your bench or kitchen table and not take up any permenant real-estate. Make sure you get holders for "new" (or FL sized) and "fired" cases for each caliber. They are not interchangeable. Too bad they can't keep it in stock.

Often Out of Stock Because IT IS SO GOOD

I've had other 'micrometer' based trimmers. Collets and universal case holders, just never seemed consistently accurate and often left the case mouth out of square. THIS one is outstanding. I set it up on a pre-drilled wooden base, secured it to my workbench. Trimmed my first .308 case, saw that it was (ahem) a couple of hundreths off and re-zeroed, bingo... 100 nearly PERFECT trimmed cases with a plus or minus of 0.0002 (trimmed to 2.005 and occasionally got 2.0048 or 0051). The Wilson case holder is just that.. holds the case and the shark fin (weird name, just swings over the 'case holder' to prevent cutter caused rotation) holds the 'two' against the micrometer end while the 'cutter' moves in, a few turns (I've got the electric screwdriver adapter, neat) and a square cut at PERFECT length, time and time again. I am paranoid from prior trimmers but I did some 100 cases in less than 40 minutes and it was just the second use. Place the case into the holder 'base/rim' at the scoured end of the case holder, tap the base on a soft piece of wood or cork (you just don't want it to turn), slap into the trimmer, move the fin over it, trim, move the fin off, tap the case mouth to remove it. Really takes only seconds. An excellent heavy duty product. And so accurate!

Worth the Money

Best trimmer I have used. Measured the case length before use, set dial to desired length, and measured after use. Case length was spot on to desired length after use.

Best there is!

This is the best case trimmer on the market. I know because I have tried the competition. It is quick to set up, easy to use and the results are consistent and repeatable. I highly recommend this trimmer.
