The handle on my Forester unsrews and comes right off by hand. Threads on mine are 3/8-24 so I just took a piece of round stock, drilled and tapped it to screw onto the existing stud. Works great with a cordless drill if one does not like turning cases by hand and something that is actually quite simple for anyone to do.

I use my Wilson most of the time but if I have an odd wildcat where there is no shell holder I use a Lyman that I have put a carbide cutter on.  Tom

Bulseyetom, that is kind of why I picked up a Wilson, I have a 44-77 and I just didnt' want to modify my Forster again. Wilson will make you bushings if you send them 2 fired cases. In my case I was able to set up a piece of 1" round stock and cut a taper to match the case. Worked out just fine for me. Nice thing is I don't trim that much or that many cases and I can leave the wilson set and use the Forster for all the others.

Since we're discussing case trimming, I thought I'd add this to the mix. When I want to rough trim my very long donor cases, I use a mini chop saw. I got one at Harbor Fright that is a little 2" version for about $30 on sale. It does a quick and easy job of trimming the cases with ease. I clamp a piece of wood to the table as a stop to set length, and then just whack them all off quickly, and move to finish trimmer afterwards.
