VLD 3-Way Carbide Cutter Instructions

INTRODUCTION

Your VLD 3-Way Carbide Cutter sets the standard in case 
trimming as it offers everything you need and want in a 
cutter.  This unique, one of kind cutter offers two adjustable 
carbide cutter inserts:

•  The Facing & Deburr carbide insert trims the cartridge 

case to length as well as deburrs the inside of the case 
mouth to a 11 degree angle accommodating VLD style 
bullets.  

•  The Chamfer carbide insert removes the burr on the 

outside of the case mouth by cutting a 30 degree 
chamfer.  

The VLD 3-Way Carbide Cutter requires the use of standard 
RCBS pilots and can be adjusted to accommodate the 
trimming of cartridge cases ranging from .22 to .45 Cal. 

The VLD 3-Way Carbide Cutter attaches easily and works 
with Trim Pro Manual, Trim Pro Power, RCBS Universal Case 
Prep Center and Rotary Case Trimmers.   

Refer to your case trimmer instructions for important safety 
and operating information.

1.  Using a 5/64” hex wrench, loosen the 8-32 SHSS so an appropriate 

sized trimmer pilot can be inserted into the Cutter Head.  Insert 

trimmer pilot and ensure bottom of pilot does not make contact 

with the highest point on the Facing/Deburr cutter, 

(Fig. 1 & 2)

.  

The clearance will allow for adjustment of the Facing/Deburr 

cutter. Tighten the 8-32 SHSS.

2.  Using a 3/32” hex wrench, loosen both 10-32 SHSS used to secure 

both the Facing/Deburr and Chamfer Cutters 

(see Fig. 3 & 4).

  Only 

rotate 1/4-1/2 turn max. , and do not remove.
