TRIM-IT II CASE TRIMMER Reviews & Ratings

TRIM-IT II CASE TRIMMER

The TRIM-IT II mounts to any standard drill or drill press, making your case trimming faster and a whole lot easier. The adjustable 3-way cutter features a 3-sided carbide blade that allows you to trim, chamfer, and de-burr virtually any caliber of rifle or pistol brass. It features a built-in micrometer that allows for supremely accurate cut-length control and quick adjustability. The TRIM-IT II is not caliber specific, interchangeable dies are available but sold separately.

Read the directions well and it works

For the Trimmer that I received in the mail, my only complaint was the highly torqued small allen head screws by the factory. If you study the instructions well on how to adjust the cutting blade and watch how the micrometer changes the cutting depth when you adjust it significantly, it works great. It is a precision instrument and not a toaster, so it takes some paying attention to get it set up right. First, make sure your cases are re-sized the required tolerances for headspacing using a case gauge. Getting the die adjusted "ball park" close to the recommended OAL for the trimmed cartridge, but not quite that short. Second, getting the cutting blade adjusted so it makes a small but visible chamfer in the inside of the trimmed brass. It's a trial and error process to get it right. Do a final adjustment to the micrometer to get your trim depth correct. Once all the allen screws are confirmed torqued down properly (not too much), spool up the drill first, insert firmly, do a half twist, and pull out when the cutter stops cutting.
