| Have been looking into a powered case trimmer for doing .223 cases. Was set on the WFT, but came across the CTS trimmer. Does the same job and is cheaper, plus I like the wide open sides. I would buy one, but can't find it for sale anywhere. Is it still being made? Thoughts? |
| Email Jim Prior @ [email protected]. He is the one who makes them. I bought a few of them from him. Great guy will do business with again. |
| I own one. I agree adjusting it can be difficult. I just dug through a pile of brass until I found one with a safe length on it. Mine leaves a scuff mark on every case I trim but it hasn't affect any of the cases aside from appearance. I plan to mount mine to a drill press or some kind of permanent setup. Using a drill works but can be cumbersome. |

Mounting in a drill press is a great way to go. I mounted mine in my bench press. Turn it on and go to town.
I bought trimmers in .223 and .308. As they came they were both set to the middle of the length range. The set screw was obviously tightened by a circus strong man. Jim Pryor is excellent to deal with. I bought mine when he was offering them on eBay. Since I made two separate purchases I was charged twice for shipping. Jim contacted me right away and said there would only be ons hipping charge since both trimmers were shipping at the same time. I had a couple of technical questions and received answers very quickly. I would not hesitate to deal with him again. |

I have one of the CTS power trimmers.. I had #4 of the first 5 pre-production G2.0 models, and then Jim upgraded it to the G2.5. I love it. This is the G2.0 And the G2.5, which has a secondary drive that spins at half the speed of the main trimmer. Ideal for deburring, chamfering, reaming primer pockets. Case inserts... 20130816_183053 by Coug91, on Flickr |
