My case trimmer is the Lyman Universal lathe type. It would be nice to have the RCBS 3 way trimmer head and it looks like the cutter attachment is very similar. But will it actually fit?
The Lyman trimmer head is threaded 7/16" (.4375") by 20 threads per inch (each thread is .050"). Anybody have one of the RCBS heads to measure?
It appears that there is plenty of clearance for the bigger cutter head, at least with short action cases
The RCBS cutter also does not have the 90 degree shoulder which bottoms on the cutter shaft. They seem to use a 45 degree shoulder. Or does the cutter bottom out in the threaded hole of the cutter shaft? Don't know if that will be a problem.
But my main concern is whether the threads match or not. Any help appreciated.
