Power Shotgun hull trimmer

This is an old video that I posted 11/27/18 Just fond it and reposting it. The trimming starts at about 2:40 if you'd like to jump ahead. Thanks

[@CarlPapa88]

I like the DIY vice & trimmer. Just need to pick up a drill press.

[@carlschnier4089]

Thanks for keeping it simple and affordable. That’s a part of why we reload in the first place !

[@1791Actual]

Love it... absolutely great idea.

[@maxxbear5014]

Thanks

[@SDMacMan]

Good idea. Two things I would change. I would have less angle on the blade and I would cut the blade off with a cut off wheel so that it barely sticks out like a 1/16-in. Less chance of ending up in the emergency room. Haha

[@maxxbear5014]

I still use that same one never had to change the blade and it still sticking out that far. lol

[@GalloPazzesco]

LOL ... love your style Brother. You should've been born a Southerner. Upvoted and subscribed and notifications are turned-on.

Thanks I hope it helps with your shotgun reloading

[@makerofmanythings8447]

Decent job, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the video.

[@xmetguy1]

Simply Fantastic! You sir are a thinker. Thank You!

[@maxxbear5014]

Thanks

[@ekim000]

Smart idea! Thanks for sharing. My ghetto cobbled POS gets ditched tomorrow.

[@Freefallpilot65]

Thanks for keeping it simple while also motorized. I almost bought one of those $85 trimmers. Now I can put that $ towards a roll crimper unless you have a DIY video on that too. lol

[@maxxbear5014]

No I don’t have a roll crimper. Lol but I do like the royal crimper’s from precision the best.

[@beeman9500]

Thanks for sharing 👍 Definitely making a similar set up

[@jamespollard1670]

That is a nice trimmer , I have the shell holders like yours too .

[@maxxbear5014]

The shell holders do work good. Best thing there easy to make

[@jungleno.]

Good job Max. I made a jig to shorten them using my scroll saw.

[@maxxbear5014]

I can see how that would work that’s a good idea

[@anatineduo4289]

brilliant

[@raymondrobbins698]

Excellent idea!

[@maxxbear5014]

Thanks. It works really well

[@terrysanders2817]

Brilliant!

[@maxxbear5014]

Thanks. Hope it helped with your reloading.

[@SteelDinger]

Shell holder looks like a giant clothespin

[@maxxbear5014]

sorry for the late reply, but I just got off probation with KZbin and now I can see all my comments. yes they do look like big clothes pins.lol

[@johnwalters7415]

Can you show how you made the trimmer

[@jforo3281948]

How do you "pound" the blade into the broom stick?...great idea, thanks for sharing.

[@maxxbear5014]

Hi John, It’s a utility knife blade I break off the tip with a pair of pliers then I hold it with a pair of pointy nose pliers and tapping in with a hammer about a 1/4” deep.

[@jforo3281948]

I think I got it? So you pond the small broken piece? Thanks for your response. BTW brilliant idea and I'll have to make the hand vise as well.👍

[@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649]

Yep. He drives the tip of broken piece into wood using the snapped off edge as the striking surface. The guard not only prevents you from shredding your digits but should also deflect that slicer from flinging in God knows which direction. Nice device. Holders too.

[@takiyosi]

Great fixture. Can you tell me how to attach the blade to the wooden treamer? Also, the blade seems to be different from a cutter blade, what kind of blade do you use?

[@maxxbear5014]

All I did was grab the end of a utility knife blade with a pair of pliers and snap the tip off then I lined it up and tapped it in with a little hammer into the wood

[@ferraritoybox]

Thx, good thinking outside of the box

[@maxxbear5014]

Thank you

[@1stFlyingeagle]

When shortening the hull. Does that screw with the center of the crimp? I am new to reloading hulls.

[@maxxbear5014]

If you are loading for shotshell... then no I mainly trim so I can roll crimp for slugs I use hard wads and nitro cards.

[@southernshop8424]

Thank you sir

[@maxxbear5014]

Your welcome. Hope it helps with your reloading.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

I'm sure that I'm missing something here, but how do you crimp your shells once you've chopped off that much of the hull?

[@maxxbear5014]

I roll crib with an over shot card or if I’m fold crimping I have a cut down lee load all I have a video on it just search my channel you should be able to find it thanks for watching the video

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

Okay, that makes sense now. I assume this would also make loading slugs a bit easier, given that those are usually roll crimped.

[@sluggou812beotch]

Ya I'll build one o them.

[@happycamper2976]

I reloaded thousands of shotgun shells and i never had to trim the hulls

[@maxxbear5014]

It’s for when you roll crimp.

[@wayneblisner4685]

never leave the chuck key in a drill press

[@maxxbear5014]

Yes that is a bad habit I used to have but not no more thank you

[@miketreen7403]

You could sell those.

[@maxxbear5014]

Noooo. Mike. Thats why i posted it so anyone can make one

[@miketreen7403]

Maxx Bear 😂😂
