This lathe exudes precision
This lathe is as solid as a brick chicken coop. When cutting brass, the whole system exudes precision. The cutter does quick work, the collet that holds the base of the catridge is strong and solid. I did make two changes to improve it for my work flow. I removed the rubber cover to the turn knob and applied some blue locktite to the right hand thread screw that secures the knob to the cutting shaft. Before this change, the screw would backout during use and the knob would fall off. Another possible solution would be to use a left handed screw that would not loosen during normal use. The blue lock tight seems to have solved the issue. The second change made was to the size button that you insert into the cutter face to fit the mouth of the brass you are cutting. In my case I am trimming 44 Spl and the button was not a smooth slip fit due to what looked like a parkerised coating. I chucked the button on my drill and spun it against some 1000 grit paper until it slips into my brass with just a hint of resistance so as to ensure it fully supports the brass while cutting. So far I have trimmed 200 pieces of 44 spl brass down to 44 colt specs and am extremely satisfied with this new tool. It is worth every penny.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Case Trimmer
I recently discovered that I needed a case trimmer for my reloading. I read reviews on other brand case trimmers and was not impressed with some of the reviews. A friend recommended the Forster case trimmer to me, so I checked it out. The trimmer is well made, solid, accurate, and made of good metals (no plastic). Tolerances are tight, as they should be, and the unit works very well. I work in a machine shop so I can tell the difference between a well made product and one that is not well made. The trimmer is easy to use, read all the instructions and remember this is a precision tool, and you will have no problems. I am getting accuracy of +/- .001". I am sure that as I use the trimmer more the accuracy will improve. The Brown & Sharp style collet holds the cases securely with little pressure on the handle. The cost was a bit more for this trimmer than for other trimmers but I feel that the extra cost is justified.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very good hand trimmer
This is an excellent hand trimmer. I bought it to replace another similar hand trimmer of an inferior design. There are a few warnings I would like to give, though. 1. You'd better have a micrometer handy so you can get the case length adjusted correctly, as this has no way to measure it. 2. This unit is like a Barbie doll. There are dozens of accessories you can buy for this trimmer. When you get it, you'll get an instruction sheet that lists them all. 3. You absolutely must screw this down to a piece of board and clamp the board to your kitchen table (that IS why you bought his unit, isn't it?). You can't simply hold it with your hand and twist. 4. Forster also sells a plastic accessory box, which you can use to organize all the bits and pieces that come with it, and which you can purchase. Buy it, you won't regret it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Forster Original Precision Case Trimmer
The trimmer is of good quality and I do recommend it. I feel, however, that all of this type of equipment is overpriced for what you get. That is really the manufacturer's doing though. I would buy this trimmer over other trimmers in the same price range.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

With the collets and pilots that are included in the kit this is a good price. other sizes are readily available if required for less common calibers
I haven't used mine yet but I have no reason to expect that it won't work as well as the ones my shooting and hunting buddies use and recommended to me. There are cheaper ones and more expensive ones on the market, some with options like electric power adaptions. The Forster will do me perfectly for the amount of reloading that I do.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Well made and consistent performer for trimming cases.
This Forster Original Case Trimmer is a well-manufactured product that operates well, producing consistent trimmed dimensions. A little extra care and attention is required to consistently settle the 6.5X55 Swedish case properly into the collet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
