    357sig/40 S&W, 9mm case trimmer jig for swaging

    I made up another batch of jigs for the cheap 2" miter saws out there. You can feed the cases in from the left and they lock in place to be trimmed to jacket length. Then the next case is pushed in and the cut case ejects. Several people here are using them for swaged jackets.

    $30 shipped.

    I can't seem to find much info on them. Are they adjustable? Do you have a video of these jigs? I already have your blackout jig, and it works great! Very interested in these. Thanks!

    What is the trim length? Are they setup according to some kind of spec? I know most of us wh have BT Snipers dies are looking for this.

    I will post more tonight the jigs are adjustable and the 40/357 jig cuts the brass down to about .645". I will have to check the 9mm jig. I will try to make a video but with my dialup quality internet, uploading takes hours.

    Here is a video of the jig. I only have loaded 357 sig. DO NOT USE LOADED AMMO. Mount the jig in the saw, If the brass is Glock fired size it before running through the jig for trimming.



    Here is a similar jig in actual operation.

    I have one of vonzep's jigs for cutting .223 back to 300 blackout length. It is adjustable for length somewhat. the length quoted is probably the shortest you can go with out cutting the jig.
    I paid less for the harbor freight saw than the jig cost, but the jig is very useful. You can cut lots of brass into uniform length jackets in.....excuse me but.........JIG TIME.

    The thing works.

    A few left.

    You can really knock out cut down jackets quickly.

    A Jig for 5.7 X 28 would be great for 30cal jackets

    We have jigs that convert 308/30.06 cases. What are you looking for in 45/308?

    I have a set of BT Sniper dies for .500 bullets and use cut down 45 cases. And for heavy bullets I cut down old 308 cases. So if the jig could be adjusted to cut both cases it would be great for me. I cut cases from .650" to 1.25"

    I think I have that covered. But was late getting off work tonight. I will get some measurements tomorrow and make a test cut.

    We can cut to .857" on the current jig. However I can make a jig to cut that short, just not both lengths. The existing jig can do the longer cut.
