    I've not tried one so can't say for sure.
    I've read people suggest that's the best way to go, but I have had mine for about 5 years now and it's still going strong
    I thought when mine became dull I would buy one then.

    Indexes off the shoulder.
    Can't argue about price.

    Not sure, I've got two of the trimmers with regular cutters that I've used to trim thousands of rounds over the last 40 years and they are still working satisfactorily.

    Jim at CTS is good people, and makes a solid product.
    I haven't used the drill mounted trimmer,
    Mine is another version he used to sell, the version 2.0
    Very well thought out design.

    That's one of the ones I was very seriously looking at. I just ordered Lyman universal to start out with.

    Quick question, as this is in fact my first rodeo. When tumble cleaning, should I set a timer, or just let it go until they come out shiny? Is there any way to really fuck it up? I got an old midway tumbler and some once fired brass, figured it's better to clean them sooner than later.
