Updates to RCBS Case Trimmer

[wv109323]

I have a late 1970'2 early 1980's RCBS case trimmer. It has the "T" handle to tighten the collet and the knurled handle. The cutter trims the case and you must use a deburring tool to chamfer the inside and outside of the neck.
What is available to update this case trimmer?
It appears that RCBS has a "V" shaped cutter that eliminates the deburring. Do you have to buy a "V" shaped cutter for each bullet diameter? Are the new cutters available for the older case trimmers?
How many has hooked up a cordless drill to turn the cutter? Let's see a few pictures.
What have you done to make your case trimming more tolerable?

Get a different tool.

There are several problems with that tool, which I have also owned since 1978.

First it does not control length very well, and this is due to the collet arraingement.(explained in another thread)

Second you have to turn the crank a bunch of times while pushing in on it, and this gets old really fast. I stopped using mine about 1980.

I believe you can install the later case holder with the lever on your tool, and you could hook up a motor of some type to the spindle fairly easily. However you still have to push the spindle into the case and that is going to be something you just have to live with.

Third there are 86 different tools that work better. Even the simple Lee Trim Tool held in a cordless drill is an improvement.

I have the old and the new one. Tried to see if the collet holders interchanged, they don't. The each have a different radius machined in the base. The shafts, pilots, and cutter heads are the same. I do like the knurled cylindrical metal handle on the old one better though. Took mine apart for parts. I'm trying to come up with a use for the old base. Any Ideas fellas?

Here's how to power your trimmer with an RCBS adapter. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/421718/rcbs-trim-pro-case-trimmer-power-drill-converter
A cordless drill works best. A cordless screwdriver is too slow and lacks power, and a regular drill can be heavy, fast and hard to regulate rpm. You could, however, just get a sockect head screw, washer, and modify an Allen wrench cheaper.

I have used the one you mention without an issue but I kinda modified it to my tastes.

With the custom head it de-burrs the inside and outside and shaves the face all at the same time and I can do about 750pcs an hour with this at a brisk pace.

I have the new type and it works without a hitch.

Hold on a minute.... I was cruizin' Precision reloading's website and found this> http://www.precisionreloading.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PRE&Product_Code=RC90358&Category_Code=CASE_TRIM_ACCESS

From what I 'm reading, IT IS a conversion for the older unit, but still uses the shellholder plates. This may not fit the really old trim pro though, just the trim pro-2. I'd call RCBS for clarification.
