Forster 3-1 Trimmer on Wilson Cutter Shaft ?

[Martin52]

Has anyone fitted a Forster 3-1 case trimmer head to the cutter shaft on the Wilson ?

I have both trimmers and I have used both a good bit. I would just skip mounting the cutter on the Wilson tool and use the Forster set up. You get zero benefit from the Wilson case holder alignment since the 3 way cutter has to be aligned with the neck by a pilot. If you do not use a pilot, the internal and external chamfers will not be cut concentric with the case neck ID making the whole process something of a deliberately imprecise joke. The Wilson case holder alignment will fight the alignment of the pilot and will give crummy results.

Yes, I'll no doubt end up doing that, just trying to avoid buying more toys !
