Redding Model 1400-Xt Case Trimming Lathe

The Redding Model 1400-XT case trimming lathe is a precision reloading tool built for shooters who demand clean, accurate case preparation. Unlike standard trim-and-go designs, this lathe-style trimmer rotates the case against a stationary cutter—the same principle that makes a machine lathe so effective. That means you get consistent, square cuts every time, with minimal chatter or variation. The cast iron frame is robust enough to handle everything from compact pistol rounds to the longest modern rifle cartridges, making it a genuine one-tool solution for serious handloaders.

The universal collet system accepts all popular rifle and pistol cases without requiring multiple collet sizes or setup changes. That simplicity saves you money and frustration—no hunting through drawers for the right trimmer variant. The TiN-coated cutter delivers clean cuts and resists wear, so accuracy holds up through hundreds of cases. Six pilots ship with the lathe (.22, 6mm, .25, .277, 7mm, and .30 caliber), covering the vast majority of standard loads. If you're working with less common cartridges, additional pilots are available separately.

Beyond trimming, this kit includes everything needed for thorough case prep: two neck cleaning brushes (covering .22 through .30 caliber) and both large and small primer pocket cleaners. That means you can move from raw brass to finished, trimmed, and cleaned cases without swapping to a separate workstation. For handloaders who value precision and efficiency, the 1400-XT cuts setup time and variability out of the equation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this trimmer work with pistol brass and rifle cases?

Yes. The universal collet accepts all popular rifle and pistol case sizes, so you don't need separate trimmers or collets for different calibers.

What calibers does it come ready to use?

The Model 1400-XT includes six pilots covering .22, 6mm, .25, .277, 7mm, and .30 caliber. If you reload specialty or less common cartridges, additional pilots are available separately.

Does it come with cleaning tools for case prep?

Yes. The kit includes two neck cleaning brushes (for cases .22 through .30 caliber) and both large and small primer pocket cleaners, so you can complete full case preparation in one workflow.

What makes the lathe design different from a standard case trimmer?

The lathe-style design rotates the case while the cutter stays stationary, similar to how a machinist's lathe works. This produces more consistent, square cuts with less variation than designs where the cutter moves against a fixed case.
