I'm wondering if anyone out there is using a Forster neck-turning attachment on their Forster case trimmer. I bought a used Forster trimmer about a year ago and it came with two extra items that I didn't recognize, and I was looking through my Sinclair catalog, and one of them is definitely part of the neck turning kit, it's a gray color, and the other piece is blued and looks like the other part of the neck turning attachment, it has two set screws to hold it in place and then an extra screw set perpendicular to the axis that I can't figure out what it would be for. Does anyone know if this the main part of the neck turning attachments and I just need to buy a cutter and pilots? Please let me know, I'd appreciate it!

Selmer,
are you squared away,now?
" it has two set screws to hold it in place and then an extra screw set perpendicular to the axis that I can't figure out what it would be for"...
I believe you're describing the neck turner itself. That second screw - the one out on the extension, not on the barrel - is the cutter. You use the setscrew to move it in and out to match the desired diameter for different calibers.
In other words, there's no cutters to buy - one cutter works for all calibers.
You DO need a neck turning pilot for each caliber, and they are different than the case trimming pilots.
