Our BetterTrim motor assembly accepts the common threaded trim dies from Dillon, Whidden etc. (SIZING DIE NOT INCLUDED) using 13/16-20 threads to trim brass during the sizing process. It requires a radio controlled car Nimh or NiCd battery pack (BATTERY NOT INCLUDED) using typical Tamiya "large" connectors. We recommend 7.2v or 9.6v. Higher voltage (up to 24vdc continuous) is acceptable but excessive, unnecessary and may cause vibration and torque unscrewing problems. Proper voltage power tool batteries are perfectly fine as well, but will not connect without harness modification. See our other listings for trimmers with switch mounts and batteries. Click "see other items" Our motor is fairly quiet- louder than a desk fan, quieter than most bathroom fans. *Hearing protection not required*. It spools very quickly, so the special overtravel switch can be mounted on the press (get creative) to power the motor as the ram approaches the top, at which point it trims the brass, and shuts off on the down stroke of the ram. The small plastic shield contains the brass shavings, which can be swept with a paint brush or vacuumed away every hundred or so cases. It is a permanent magnet design with ball bearing support on the cutter end and accepts common indexable TCMT cutters, though it is *extremely* difficult to wear them out on brass. Best results are achieved with a smooth handle stroke and brief pause (1/2 second or so) to allow the cutter to finish and clean the cut. There will be manufacturing tool marks here and there, and minor variations such as zip tie location, switch color etc. The press etc. in the last picture is not included, but simply an example of mounting.
