Lyman Universal Case Trimmer Power Pack Combo

The Lyman Universal Case Trimmer Power Pack Combo combines the Lyman Universal Trimmer with a power adapter for powered case trimming. In addition, the adapter works with a standard electric hand drill or power screwdriver. As a result, the same trimmer can support both hand and powered operation.

The Universal Chuckhead handles cases from .17 to .458 calibre without separate collets. Therefore, one chuck system can cover a wide range of cartridge cases when you fit the correct pilot. In addition, the trimmer has coarse and fine adjustments that let you set the required case length.

The power adapter replaces the standard trimmer shaft. Then, you can place the adapter shaft in the chuck of a suitable drill or power screwdriver. Before trimming, select the correct pilot and set the required case length. After that, trim the case while keeping the case and cutter correctly aligned.

Furthermore, the adapter has its own cutter and stop collars. Therefore, you can move between hand and powered trimming without changing the basic trimming setup. Also, Lyman includes nine popular pilots with the Power Pack Combo.

For larger batches, Lyman states that the powered setup can trim over 250 cases per hour. However, the actual rate depends on the case type, operator and setup. Even so, powered trimming can reduce the time needed for larger batches.

For related case-preparation work, related case-preparation equipment can support the next steps after trimming. In addition, manufacturer information provides the product details from Lyman. Lyman lists this combo as product number 7862003.

Lyman Universal Case Trimmer Power Pack Combo Features

First, the Universal Chuckhead covers cases from .17 to .458 calibre. Therefore, the system does not need a separate collet for each cartridge case. Instead, you select the correct pilot for the case you are trimming.

Next, the power adapter gives the trimmer two operating options. For hand trimming, remove the power adapter and use the standard trimmer shaft. For powered trimming, fit the adapter shaft into the chuck of a suitable electric hand drill or power screwdriver.

In addition, the adapter has its own cutter and stop collars. As a result, the powered setup keeps the cutter and stop arrangement together when you switch from manual operation. Furthermore, the coarse and fine adjustments allow you to set case length before trimming.

The nine included pilots cover several common sizes: .22, .24, .27, .28/7mm, .30, 9mm, .35, .44 and .45A. After trimming, check the case length and inspect the case mouth before moving to the next stage of case preparation.

For larger batches, Lyman states that the powered setup can trim over 250 cases per hour. However, this figure depends on the cases, drill or power screwdriver, operator and working method. Therefore, it should be treated as a manufacturer-stated output figure rather than a guaranteed production rate.

Setup and Operation

Before starting, place the trimmer on a stable work surface. Then, select the correct pilot for the cartridge case and set the required case length using the trimmer adjustments.

For manual trimming, use the standard trimmer shaft and operate the trimmer by hand. Afterward, check the trimmed case before continuing with case preparation.

For powered trimming, remove the standard shaft and fit the power adapter. Next, place the adapter shaft into the chuck of a suitable electric hand drill or power screwdriver. Also, make sure the drill chuck grips the adapter shaft securely. Then, operate the drill while keeping the case correctly aligned with the cutter.

In addition, the Universal Chuckhead allows the same trimmer to handle cases across the .17 to .458 calibre range. Therefore, the Power Pack Combo provides one trimming system for a broad range of cases.

Finally, inspect each trimmed case for the correct length and a clean case mouth. After that, continue with the next step in your normal case-preparation process.

Overall, this combo brings manual and powered trimming together in one system. As a result, it can suit reloaders who want hand operation for smaller batches while also having the option of powered trimming for larger batches.
