I use one of the lathe trimmers. It's a Forster, but it's actually marked Herters (tells you how old it is) - Herters bought em from Forster.
For small quantities of trimming, the lathe type works ok- either hand cranked or with an cordless screwdriver attached.
For high volume work, Forster makes a really neat tool no one seems to know about....it's a base that goes on a drill press table. This base holds the case head with the same collet the lathe trimmer uses, and has an extended handle for quick tightening and loosening.
You chuck the cutter in the drill press, and use the drill presses stop to set your case length.
Takes a few minutes to set it all up, but once you do, it's the fastest, easiest set up I've seen. Wth a drill press, you will NOT have a problem with your power unit bogging or slowing down, no matter how much you need to trim. Fast and easy- providing you own a drill press.
