Herters case Trimmer

[oldreloader]

I have an older Herters case trimmer.Does anyone know if any of the pilots from another brand of trimmer will fit it?

I believe the Herter's trimmer were made by Forster. I think their pilots and cutters will work.

Thanks for the reply.I had emailed Forster.Here is their reply:
"To: oldreloader@hotmail.com

Thanks for the inquiry.
Our collets and pilots should fit the old Herter’s trimmer. We obviously cannot give a 100% “will fit” guarantee since we never made that trimmer and would not have any control over their tolerances or quality.
The shank diameter on our pilot is .186”.
Have a good day.

Dee probably wasn't born when Forster made that trimmer for Herters.They are EXACTLY alike.
