Forster Case Trimmer - Giraud Alternative

#1 Postby tachyon » Thu Mar 30, 2023 12:19 am

Hi All

So, my Giraud trimmer finally arrived. That makes me previous solution redundant.

That solution consists of:

Base unit $178
Long base $40
Collet $26
3-in-one Cutter $128
Pilot $10 x 2
Power adaptor $42
Ryobi $79 (Bunnings)

For a total of $513. With this setup you can process about 6-10 cases a minute - trim/inside/outside chamfer.

With my new Giraud - which runs essentially the same 3 way cutter I can process 12-20 cases a minute - trim/inside/outside chamfer.

Yes, the Giraud is faster, but is 2x faster worth 3x the cost?

I like quicker but, in retrospect I would probably have stopped at the Forster unit.

Open to reasonable offers.
