Sinclair Trimmer

Has anyone used the Sinclair Trimmer with the micrometer? I am now using the Forster trimmer and am looking for something that is more precise. Is it worth the money?

I've had one for 20+ years although without the micrometer. I keep various calibers of trimmed brass as "masters" to speed setup and then sneak up to the OAL I want. Anyway, once set, the trimmer is very precise and truly squares the case mouth to the body. It's simply the best lathe type trimmer I know of. Buy it.

BTW, get the carbide cutter; it's worth it.

I use one for all brass that I don't use in enough volume to justify adapting my Giraud for. Works great.

You have to tap case in holder and same to remove case.

I add this to mine.

I used one for precision rounds and wildcats. Works good. But for volume jobs, prefer my Gracey Trimmer.

It is to me, but although I love spending other people's money, that's gotta be your call.
