Lyman case trimmer-drill mod

spleify · May 27, 2011, 12:52 PM

So I got sick of trimming cases by hand and needed some aid with this and take some pressure off of my arthritis ridden hands

Based off of a recommendation from another member in my local club, this is what I came up with.

This is the original handle on my Lyman case trimmer

Clamped it in the vice

Used a cut-off wheel to lop it off

Used a angle grinder to smooth out the shaft

Took an old POS socket I had in the tool box and drilled 3 1/8" holes in it

Added three screws, one in each hole

Added an adapter to go from the socket to my drill...and viola!!

Perfect cases repeatedly every time

You can buy a factory one for $20.00 , and it doesn't wobble !
