Perfect timing as my trimmer showed up Saturday with one of the carbide cutters laying in the bottom of the box. At first I didn't know what it was, good thing I didn't toss it out. I got it back in, adjusted and locked down. This thing is awesome! Smooth, quiet, and way faster than my RCBS Case Prep Center. Glad I finally took the plunge. Well worth the price for an American made precision machine. Even the packaging and boxes are top notch.
I don't have the $ for all the expensive toys unfortunately, but my platinum Frankford does the trick for what I need. Good info though.
Ya I can’t see the money guess my time is not worth that kinda money
I have had a Henerson trimmer for ~2yrs. I would give up a lot of my equipment before i let my Henderson trimmer go. I believe this ONE SINGLE piece of equipment has improve the consistany and accuracy of my hand loads over all of the other equipment i own. I don't remember what Todd advertises for +/- accuracy, but my Henderson cuts +/- .0005 between my trimmed cases. I load .223, .308 and .338 Lapua Magnum. I can't wait until he comes out with a setup for the .375 Cheytac.
Good stuff to know...... I have the Forster 3-n1 case trimmer cutter. They also have those blades and I always wanted to know how to adjust them. I had one that got out of whacked so Forster told me to send it in and they will adjust it. And a week and half later I got it back.. Thanks Gavin for doing this video.
I have been looking at the Henderson V3 about buying one you have helped me make my choice.
That is a very nice trimmer! Im still very happy with my rcbs 3 in 1 trimmer ive had for several years. Thanks for the video!!😃👍
Love my Henderson trimmer. Appreciate this video too Gavin. The full length and chamfer blade for my 30BR cases do a great job but it barely deburs, so I need to adjust that blade.
I love mine probably my best and favorite reloading tool
Great video, I have Henderson v3 cutter
Forster has had a similar head out for 15 years, RCBS also has a 3 in 1 cutting head.
They literally started out using forester head and later designed their own but as you can see it's still using Forester blades and pilot. P.S. I have RCBS also but it's just not the same!
The three-way cutter head that’s on the Henderson unit is made by Forster. Same three-way, cutting unit they use on their three-way cutter😊
I missed this video. This is a cool way to setup that inside blade. I found that in my Forester trim head the pilot is off center by 6 thousands so it wobbles and scores inside the brass neck. I tested this by machining a .157 pin and when I put the body in the chuck I get .001 run out which most likely from my lathe but the center pin is .006 and that's too much, you can see it with naked eye. In your video when it was running the pilot doesn't move, maybe that's why Henderson started making their own heads to be more precise.
Liked the video but would have liked to have seen a close up of your end result. I recently acquired a Henderson trimmer with 4 cutter heads. I was trimming my 33XC brass with the factory adjusted head and it appears to me that too much material is being removed from the outside and very little from the inside. So maybe a few close ups of what you consider perfect or acceptable. My brass ended up with an almost knife edge which I don't think is desirable.
I like the look of the henderson and all the reviews are great but I think the Giraud seems to be a faster system. I debated over the 2 but placed an order for the Giruad to replace my Hornadt LNL case prep. I am anxiously waiting for the Giraud and my Auto trickler.
Both works very well, but they are very different, Giraud uses the shoulder of the case to determine trim length, not the Henderson.
The Henderson V3 trimmer is awesome, I guess as long as you're in for $780 what's another $70 a pop for extra cutter heads. My Frankford Arsenal universal case trimmer @
Okay Great Thanks! But what if you do not have a case that is already sized and trimmed properly to start the process? Thanks again for the great videos?
It's a great tool and if I had to do a couple of thousand rounds to do on a regular basis I would invest in one but at $450 it's just to much money. I shoot a thousand rounds a year and trim every 5th loading. For that small amount I use a Frankford Arsenal Universal Case Trimmer in a drill press and for a few calibers I use a Little Crow WFT. $75 for either but I do deburr and chamfer with a Hornady Case Prep Duo $60 and it literally takes 4 seconds. The Henderson is a nice unit but with the $300 saved that would pay for a MEC Marksman or RCBS Rock Chucker press and a set of dies.
I was struggling with setting up my Henderson V3 cutter because the cutter was set not to my linking from the factory.
The Pin / Feeler gauge method worked flawlessly. Thank you for sharing!
👍👍
How do you like this compared to the Giraud Super trimmer?
so if im reading the chart right in the link, you say have zero feeler for 223? so just run the inside cutter all the way to the pin gauge?
I'm loading 6.5 cm. Do i set trimmer to SAMMI brass case length?
A better set of feeler gauges would be what is called " go - no go" feeler guages. The end of the gauge is thinner than the main body and is the thickness that shows on each one. The main body is .002 thicker. So you can use the next size smaller and see how exact it is adjusted to.
I'm waiting for him to finish the 17 cal before I get one. My 17 shaves the bullets during seating without an inside chamfer
Can a Henderson cutter be modified to fit a Giraud machine? I mean it can with a lathe, but is anyone doing it?
It would seem that the Giraud trimmer handles the chips better than the Henderson trimmer. Though I do like the way cutters work with individual adjustments. How are you keeping the chips from flying all over?
There's actually a containment attachment that is available that works really well.
👍‼️😃
This looks complicated for the average Joe
They come preset for the average joe
Complicated? Reloading is precision work. If you can't make simple adjustments to your trimmer maybe it's just not a hobby for you 🤷♂️
@@Laidoffsick complicated? No.
Very tedious? Yes.
That’s why Henderson does not recommend you touch them from where they are set from the factory.
Not sure why Gavin decided to make a video about this because its not necessary whatsoever for the large majority of Henderson users.
@@SigmaBallistics well 1 of my cutters fell out in the box so I had to put it back in adjust it. Video was a ton of help for me.
@@Laidoffsick wow thats not good! Yeah i’m glad he posted it too though, I run a 338-408 cheytac wild cat with a pretty thick neck that may benefit from tweaking.
Todd said he is coming out with a cheytac length rail and cheytac collet at some point as well.
$3000 , no thank you.
