CH4D PCT-1000 Quick Start Manual

Choose a convenient location on your bench to mount the trimmer. Drill two holes approximately 8 ½ inches apart. Obtain
two screws of adequate size to securely hold the trimmer (flat washers are also preferable). Locate the mounting slots on
the bottom of your trimmer and center them over the drilled holes. Drive in the screws until the trimmer is secure and does
Loosen the lock screw by turning the knob counter clockwise. This will back out the lock screw and allow you to drop the
proper shell holder into the ram. Insert the case to be trimmed into the shell holder and tighten the lock screw by turning it
clockwise until the case is secure. Adjust the coarse adjustment collar and fine adjustment nut to achieve the desired case
length.
For best results, try to maintain smooth ram operation. Applying sudden movements of the ram will result in undesirable
results.

To setup the PCT-1000 Trimmer to trim your cases, remove the cutter shield and select
the proper pilot. The pilots are numbered and a list of them appears on the last page of
these instructions. The cutter blade and the cutter blade spacer have already been
installed in the blade holder. Locate the pilot so the cutter blade rests on the shank of
the pilot (picture 1). Press the pilot into the hole until it makes contact with the cutting
edge of the blade. Lock the pilot and cutter blade with an appropriate allen wrench
(picture 2). The deburring blade will automatically adjust itself on the pilot. No further
adjustment is necessary on the deburring blade. This blade will automatically deburr
the outside of the case as it is being trimmed (picture 3). Reinstall the cutter shield.
The No. PCT-1000 Power Case Trimmer is, to the best of our
knowledge, the first self-contained unit of its type. It is designed to
automatically trim any case length from the very shortest to the very
longest. There is over four inches of length possible from the pilot to
the shell holder. This is adequate for any type of case that is
currently available.
The carbide cutter is adjustable four ways. The cutter itself is square,
and a/I four edges are beveled to the correct degree for trimming
casa. It does not matter which edge is placed toward the shank of
the pilot or which edge bears up against the pilot head as all four
edges are exactly the same.
The cutter is Tungsten Carbide and should give a life-time of service.
The self-contained deburring blade is hardened for long fife. Pilots
are likewise hardened for long fife and are available for the majority
of modern calibers.
