Forster 3-in-1 Case Trimming Tool
We are organizing our crew for the 2013 SHOT Show, which runs January 15-18 in Las Vegas, at the Sands Expo Center. To whet your appetite, here is a product report from SHOT Show 2010 that you may have missed the first time around. In this video Robert Ruch, CFO of Forster Products, shows off the Forster’s 3-in-1 Case Trimming Tool. This is a very smart tool that can dramatically speed up your case prep operations.
Tool Cuts Brass to Length, and Chamfers Inside and Outside
Forster’s new 3-in-1 Carbide cutting tool works with all existing Forster case trimmers. This unit does three jobs at the same time. It trims the case to length, it puts a 14-degree chamfer on the INSIDE of the neck, AND (last but not least), it cuts a 30-degree chamfer on the OUTSIDE of the neck. It does this all quickly and efficiently — in a matter of a few seconds. We tested the new tool ourselves on a few cases. The tool is solid and well made. The carbide cutting tips do perform a very clean cut. Be aware, however, if you have turned your necks already, you may have to reset the blade positions before you start trimming your brass.
Forster’s CFO, Robert Ruch, demonstrates the 3-in-1 case trimming/chamfering tool in the video below. As you can see, the tool turns very smoothly (no chatter) and the job is finished in a few seconds. The actual cutting time, per case, is just a few second. The tool has an MSRP of $70.00, but we expect it to sell for around $50.00 at major vendors. It can be fitted on Forster trimmers and other hand lathes with a .490″ shaft diameter.

I have the Three-in-one Cutter and it works great! Virtually no chatter at all. Nice.
I use a Three-in-one cutter mounted in a 7×10 mini-lathe and use a bushing I made out of epoxy mounted in the tool post. It makes an awesome case trimmer. The 3-in-1 cuts very cleanly on all surfaces at the same time. With the mini-lathe, it’s an extremely fast and accurate setup.
They need to fix their distribution/production system, because it’s nearly impossible to get one. I’ve been trying to buy a .22 and .30 since I saw them a year and a half ago.

@Brian, it looks like Sinclair has the .30 in stock right now and the .224 backordered. Gunstop lists both on their site. They don’t specifically state in stock or backordered, but you can always ask.
Cheers-

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll order one tonight.
