Just purchased the little crow trimmer, I thought it was a very well designed unit, note this is for cartridges with a neck only, very fast compared to my foster, I took out there two flute high speed cutter and replaced it with a 4 flute carbide and ran the rpm's at about 2500+ it gave almost no burr, after about a 1000 rds, put them in the vibratory tumbler for about 30mins,and ready to load. Note: they must be sized first. I think a person that does not have a Dillion trimmer and needs some speed over hand cranking on cartridges such as .223 where you shoot a lot, this is the unit.
It was purchased from the Little Crow Gunworks. Just my 2 cents worth. Sprink

Did you get the original WFT or the WFT2? Also...can you point me at the exact cutter you used?

This could help greatly with my 300GNR.

I used the WFT 2 the cutter I used was a 1/2 shank solid 4 flute carbide just sharpened, this cutter will not work at low speeds, if you use this in a hand drill or press, stick with the high speed cutter from them. I am using this unit in a Groton mill which will go up to 4K RPMs. One thing that I did like was the close tolerance they held. Once you make a master for setting your cutter, save it, and use it over & over. You can check more online just what they have.
