Case trimming tool

[Dave_45]

I was just wondering , when resizing brass , does the resizing die not do this or does brass need to be trimmed back?
I'm trying to buy all the necessary kit to start,i see debur and chamfer tools , do they do the trimming as well?

 

[ColinBr]

Yes you'll need to trim it back with a trimming tool. The brass stretches over firings

Any recommendations please for trimming tool and debur tools please

Personally I use the Lee delux trimmimg tool and die to suit the calibre. It trims to length and chamfers inside and out at the same time.

Others will have they're own preference, and I only use this as its what came in the kit I bought.

I've only been reloading for a year, so far than experienced to tell you whats best.

Does the job and as cheap as chips.

I use Frankford Universal Case Trimming tool. It's compact and you can use it with any drill.

I use the Lee trimmer mounted in a turret press and then built a little motorised prep station with bits off eBay.

If the OP is asking these questions, I would suggest he put off buying a trimming device and use the money to purchase a book on reloading. Not data. The process. ~Muir

 

[Alantoo]

As @Muir says, read a reloading book first and do a few searches on here, many questions have been discussed and answered already...and/or visit a friend who reloads to get an overview.

best case trimmers?

Obviously I want a Brilliant one for almost no money… what can you guys recommend??

I just went on eBay and searched for 12v 400 rpm motors and there was a few to choose from. They have a surprisingly decent amount of torque. I think the whole build including adapters and power supply was under £50 and it was good fun too.

found some 300 rpm from 1st Annealer build and a PSU just need to get some high speed motors from china now
