Case trimmer...Little Crow vs Giraud

[Tech43]

I was getting ready to order a giraud but then came across the Little Crow cutter heads, didn’t know if anyone has used both and could shed some insight on these cutters before I order

They wft only trims, doesn’t deburr and chamfer.

I’ve never seen a giraud, but the wft requires an external power source, I run mine in my lathe with two ice cream containers and holy smokes she’s fast, I do still need to rechamfer though, although if you wanted to be rough you could give it a miss as with a new end mill it’s a very clean cut

Little Crow works great! Having used a Lyman manual for years and then discovery of WFT makes me appreciate how many can be done in a short time. Good value in LC trimmer.

I've used a Giraud .223 tri-way in a drill for a few years. It's a lil noisy, but makes short work of trimming brass. Trims, chamfer and deburrs in one step.

Recently bought the Giraud bench top unit for 6.5CM. Really stout unit and we'll made.

I have 5 WFT trimmers. Just got my Giraud last year. It will change how you feel about brass prep. I not longer dread it.

I have both and prefer the Giraud but either is better than doing it by hand.

Thoughts on the trim-it 2? I went with one from the little crow since it also chamfer and debur.

Giraud bench-top was a complete game-changer for me. 8 yrs running and brass-prep is an afterthought sandwiched between final neck-sizing and priming. Prior, a dreaded drudgery. Electric pencil sharpener easy and consistently accurate. No adjustments since first set-up in '12.
