My $60,000 case trimmer, VID ADDED

[Tomekeuro85]

I was tired of spinning my LE wilson case trimmer handle like a monkey lol. So I made this for myself to use so I can trim my cases on one of our CNC mills.

Works with the wilson case holder I have... I bored a hole and put a set screw to hold it in.

Made a quick program for the CNC and it takes about 5 seconds to trim each one. Works pretty well... You trim cases about as fast as you can change the brass.

I made this for myself but if anyone wants one of these for maybe a drill press let me know and I can make more.

You know they make a power adapter for your Wilson trimmer? But for the
price of 60k I would be utilizing it for everything also.

HA HA HA! That's funny. I thought I was the only one to do such a thing. Now I can go shoot without having a tired arm from trimming brass. If you get bored, they make great primer pocket uniformers too! Trim, chamfer, deburr, then re set up, and uniform pockets.

Wow. There's my first post. Been kind of a lurker. Hi everybody.

Re: My $60,000 case trimmer haha

now all you need to to do is make it so you can load up multiple cases at a time, then you really could crank them out.

I would like to ask, how much per piece, to trim my brass? I have a large flat rate box full ready to put an address lable on.

I never really thought about doing it as a service... I just didnt feel like doing it by hand.

What would something like this be worth? Trim/debur/chamfer?

Is this the polar opposite of “measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, and cut with an axe”?

Still very cool.

Now you just need to make a reloading tray with 50 holes and some sort of sliding block at the bottom and you'd really be in business!
