The Journey Began in 2024
T's Case Trimmers was recently started in 2024 with a simple mission to provide an alternate affordable case trimmer for anyone who reloads!
When I got into reloading 223 Remington and 308 Winchester, I was in need of a trimmer and the only options I could find were either too expensive or didn't work well. A buddy of mine let me borrow his World's Cheapest Trimmer (WCT) which was perfect and worked great but they had been discontinued around 2021-2022 and quickly disappeared. I looked into the backstory and found the gentleman that made them planned on retiring and decided to discontinue the WCT. I felt like it was necessary to bring back a similar cheap trimmer that anyone could buy and learn how to use without breaking the bank.
With that being said my trimmers perform similar to the WCT but are not exact copies just to avoid of any infringement issues.
Simple to use and only takes seconds to trim!
Designed to be used in a cordless drill or drill press for fastest results but as long as it can spin it'll trim! Can be used by hand or even in a lathe but for most cases any common household drill with a chuck that's capable of holding 3/8 drills or larger will work.
They're easily adjusted by loosening the set screw at the top which allows the cutter to be pushed in or out to set trim length. If you ever need to set it, I recommend starting with an in tolerance brass cartridge for the size trimmer you're using. Insert it into the sleeve until it seats at the shoulder and push the end mill down until it touches the cartridge and then tighten down the set screw. Double check to make sure the end mill didn't shift after tightening since the screw tends to pull it up. Use dial/digital calipers for precise adjustments.
They'll be set to trim .01 under max trim length on each caliber and will be ready to go right when they arrive!
I advise cleaning the brass/case side with a Q-tip or paper towel after every use and inspect for stuck brass chips to avoid variation or inconsistencies. Don't worry if your brass gets a little scratched they will come out after a tumble and even better if you use a wet tumbler with stainless media.
(PRO TIP USE A PINCH OF LEMISHINE AND TIDE OR DAWN FOR BETTER THAN NEW BRASS)
If flying brass chips are a problem, I do offer 3d printed chip deflectors that help mitigate the spread and redirect the chips downwards. I'll be including them for free in each order.
Originally I machined each and every trimmer manually with a Harbor Freight mini lathe and drill press. They worked great and helped get me started with the first few hundred trimmers.

(Limited to shouldered cartridges only. No straight wall and case mouth needs to be less than .375 in diameter. Sorry no 50BMG, I tried but it was ultimately too big of a cartridge.)
