POWER TRIMMER
Q: How do I change the cutterhead on this, the motor spins when I try to turn it?A: Hold the brush at the other end of the trimmer when you unscrew the cutterhead.
Q: Will the Outside Neck Turner work on the Power Trimmer?
A: No, it was designed only for the manual trimmers.
Q: What length of case can I use in this trimmer?
A: The Power Trimmer will hold cases up to 3 1/16" in length.
UNIVERSAL TRIMMER
Q: When do I know if my cases need to be trimmed?A: Check your handbook for the maximum dimension of the caliber cases you are reloading. Measure the cases with a caliper. If any are longer than the max dimension, it is time to trim the lot back to the trim-to length. Be sure to measure and trim only after the cases have been sized in the sizing die.
Q: My trimmer is no longer trimming properly, what can be the problem?
A: More than likely, you are in need of a replacement cutter head. We have these available in both a two-pack and in carbide.
Q: I am having trouble with the cases not being evenly trimmed, what could be the problem?
A: Once you put your case into the chuckhead, do not lock it into place until you slide the case mouth over the pilot. This will ensure uniform trimming.
Q: My cases are varying slightly after trimming is there something wrong with my trimmer?
A: This would be caused by inconsistent pressure being used while trimming. Use consistent pressure on each case and this will eliminate the problem.
Q: What calibers can I trim in this?
A: Cases from the .17 up to the 460 Weatherby Mag can be trimmed.
Q: My cases are sticking onto the pilot. What could be causing this?
A: This could be caused from roll-over of the case mouth if the pilot is not fully seated into the cutterhead. Another cause could be a dull cutter in need of replacing.
ACCUTRIMMER
Q: Do I need a separate collet for this as it does not have a chuckhead?A: The Accutrimmer uses the standard shellholder to hold the case into position.
Q: What length of case can I trim in the Accutrimmer?
A: Cases from the .17 up to the 460 Weatherby Mag can be trimmed.
50 BMG TRIMMER
Q: Can I use this to trim other calibers?A: No, this was developed to trim only the 50 BMG.
POWER ADAPTER
Q: Can I use this on an Accutrimmer?A: No, it is designed strictly for the Universal Case Trimmer.
OUTSIDE NECK TURNER
Q: Do you have an inside neck reamer available?A: No, we have only the Outside Neck Turner. The neck of the case will be more consistently uniformed from the outside.
