Forster Outside Neck Turning Accessory

hhunter318 · February 9, 2012, 09:49 PM

Does anyone know what the difference is in the Forster Classic Trimmer and the Forster Original Trimmer. Apparently the outside neck turning attachment will only work on the original and the power trimmer. Was hoping to get the attachment to speed things up but I have the Classic Trimmer.

Thanks

Nevermind. Sorry guys. I called Forster and it turns out that you can't use the outside neck turning attachment with the Forster Classic Case Trimmer due to the cutter shaft being larger in diamter. Looks like they would still make one for the Classic but guess not..

For what it's worth, and for anyone that might need it, I have a Forstner neck turning attachment that's to fit an RCBS case trimmer. I've never used it, so it's still in the original plastic packaging. What I don't know is which RCBS trimmer it's supposed to fit. I think it might be the trimmer that preceded the one that is marketed now. I had one of those earlier models. I was gonna put the attachment on eBay till I realized that it didn't fit a Forster trimmer. Don't ask how well it works, since I have no idea. I use a hand held neck turner these days. PM me if you just gotta have it.

I have an old one, but I only used it once, and I think I forgot how it works.
I could figure it out, but who wants to turn necks?
