Pilots are used to support the case neck during case trimming. A collet and pilot are needed to operate this trimmer and are sold separately. Trimmer can be used for case length trimming, hollow pointing, neck turning, inside neck reaming, case mouth deburring, and primer pocket reaming (removes military crimps).

As good as it gets. Inexpensive too! (25/11/2010)

The Forster case trimmer will do all that one needs, precisely accurately and without uselessly expensive add-on's that do nothing to improve accuracy.

This tool does it all, does it excellently, supremely reliable (mine is over 50 years old and still works perfectly, and that after several million cases processed. It is quick, never fails, and the best possible for the price.

Cons: None found in >50 years.

The company is very responsive to unusual requests or any advice. One can only wish that more products and companies were like this.

Reliability (27/01/2011)

These trimers have been around since the beginning of time itself...This alone says loads about the product..If it wasnt any good then it would have been long gone...
Although this trimmer is capeable of all triming tasks I use mine solely to trim my necks with the neck turning attachment.
I have trimed thousands of necks and the cutter has not lost its edge.
Triming is very easy all-be-it at a steady pace but this step is best done correctly as a lot depends on it in the way of accuracy.
I would like to see a slight modification made that allows the user to stop reaching over to turn the cam as all controls are on one side.

Great (28/03/2011)

I've had this for 2 years and still glad I bought it. Used for .223 and .243 rifle and .38 special, .357 mag and .45 handgun.

Average Joe Review (12/04/2011)

This is a great case trimmer. It takes a little time to make the fine adjustment with the set screw however once it is set for the shell you want to trim it functions flawlessly. Average Joe review gives this product a buy recommendation. You won't be disappointed!!
