    Anyone use a Lee case trimmer?

    Do you mean this setup? Yes I use it. The cutter isn't the best of the best, but the case length gauge gets you the same length easily. The cutter is also cheap enough to replace if/when it wears out.

      I use one. Works good for me, although someday I'll want to get something nicer. I use it with the three jaw chuck so I don't have to switch out shell holders. Some people don't like the three jaw, but I think they just don't know how to use it.

          I use the one for .223. I mount it in an electric drill, not a drill press. It works pretty well.

            I use the Lee cutter & lock stud for 223 in a drill press - works good, is cheap, and can get a pretty good rate once you find your rhythm.

            Put the cutter into the the chuck - not the lock stud.

              Same here I use it for multiple caliber and it works like a charm. Works great for when you are case forming 300 blackout from 5.56 brass

                3 jaw chuck.



                Works with the zip trim or with the drill adapter.

                  I use it multi-cals in a cordless. Once you get a groove down it's pretty fast, trim and de-burr. Doubt anything else would be much faster.

                    I use mine in about 10 different calibers and it works great for me, everything from 223 up to 45-70

                      I'd rather rub cases on the pavement to trim them to length.

                      Just get this.

                            I still use those cutter with drill .. pita but oh well ..

                            I would recommend u get a ball handle too . my hands were getting numb shortly after .. but after i added ball grip , I can do lot of cases without hand getting fatigue .
