$361.82
The most noteworthy feature of the Model #2400 Case Trimming Lathe is the new Micrometer which adds precision and repeatability to the case length adjustment. Changes as little as .001″ can be easily “dialed in”. The innovative new push button chuck lock simplifies loading and unloading while facilitating perfect alignment of the case and pilot. The design of the new push button chuck lock, combined with the extended cast iron frame of the Model #1400-XT, increases case length capacity; accommodating not only the latest long action cartridges but old time classics as well.

Curt –
My first one didn't work out too well. After calling Redding customer service, who appears to be quite helpful, I was unable to get square cuts on my cases. It appears that there is a bit of yaw in the case holder cylinder, and I'm not sure whether it's my fault or a manufacturing issue. Redding accepted it back for inspection.Pro: The cutting tool seems to cut smoothly and easily, and it's very nice to have all of the pilots handy as well as primer pocket cleaners. Having a micrometer is superior to not having one. It's also nice to not have to keep up with shell holders.Con: I don't love the effort required to insert a case into the collet. The effort required would be acceptable if the trimmer provided square cuts, but at present, the Hornady trimmer is my go-to (even though it's a little more basic, it gives square cuts).
