Found what was advertised as the worlds cheapest case trimmer on ebray the other day and the cost had me ordering two of them to try out and see if the less than $30 ea trimmers were indeed good enough to cut the mustard. Received them yesterday set them up for case length and chucked them up after removing my .223 cutter that cost almost $100.
What I found was impressive. These cheap little cutters held the length to within several thousanths and while ugly I can live with plus or minus .002 in length surely just as good as those cutters you spend $100+ on that you chuck up each case and turn the crank.

They were 23.49 each with free shipping. I am in no way associated with the manufacturer of this product. I just thought I would share my find of what I consider to be a good deal for those that might be looking at this type of product.
I think the world of my Tri Way trimmer by Giraudtool.com the results I got from the cheapest trimmer are in line with the tolerances I can hold with the more expensive trimmer. Note that both do require that you keep the surface inside chean because any trimmings tht get in the way will result in different and non- similar results. Both tools locate off the shoulder and the manufacturer claims the material will not wear out. Note due keep some Q- tips on hand to clean the inside of the tool as you would the more expensive Tri Way cutter.
