ABSTRACT:
A case trimming apparatus is provided having a hollow, longitudinally extending housing which is open at both ends, receiving and securing a cutting tool at one end and enclosing the cutting edge of that tool while rotatably receiving the open end of a case at its other end and retaining the case in alignment with the cutting edge. The end of the housing which receives the open end of the case includes a ledge to engage the shoulder of the case rather than engage the case by its diameter. The ledge can be removably mounted in the housing. The housing includes a chamber for retaining shavings and may include an opening from that chamber to remove shavings during trimming. Manual actuation is accomplished by rotation of the case relative to the housing while applying pressure to the case toward the cutting edge. An adapter is provided for connecting the housing to a standard power tool, such as a conventional electric hand drill, in order to provide an alternative rotary power source.
