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.
