ULTIMATE TRIMMER & PLATFORM KIT Reviews & Ratings

SINCLAIR STAINLESS ULTIMATE TRIMMER - 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 (part number WX11) 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.

PLATFORM - The idea for this platform originated from a writer/customer of ours. The platform is a mounting board for the L.E. Wilson trimmer series that provides storage space for nine (9) case holders and a tapping block for knocking the cases out of the holder. The polyethylene platform has rubber feet, but most of us prefer it c-clamped to the bench.

Lots of patience but it will work eventu

Takes a while and much patience to zero the micrometer, once that is done it works beautifully. When zeroing it helps to have the assembly pressed against the mic, and use a easily measured case. Took a couple hours but now it will cut to the specified length within a thousandth.

Good brass trimmer

Works as described, perfect for trimming small batches of precision rifle brass to your exact desired length. By design you get a nice square cut on the case mouth.

Got it fixed!!

As seen above it is INACCURATE when used with Sinclair micrometer. What I did, took the micrometer apart, made a new spindle with 1/2 thousandth clearance in the bushing. I also used steel rod. The threads are also better now. When I trim a case or back and forth between about 7 different calibers all with different lengths this trimmer is perfect..... Exact to within .0005 or less. Yes better than 1/2 thousands. I'm now happy. But be advised when using the original Sinclair micrometer.

Better than the rest...... But

This trimmer in general is quite a good idea and trims very well. good design, good idea But is inconsistent. Once it is set and the thumbscrew tightened it is repeatable. mine has about 5 thousandths of "drift". Basically the spindle of the micrometer has "play" in it which does not give me the ability to trim cases let's say 308. then if I trim something else like 30 06 or whatever. Then next time I trim 308 and set the trimmer to the same length as the previous 308 setting I have found it to be 3-5 thousandths of an inch off. so, I have to get it close, trim a case and adjust up or down a little to get the length right where it should be. it's a hit and miss if you expect it to be precisely where the micrometer indicates. so basically, you need to know how to adjust this trimmer and it works absolutely great!
