Barrel trimmer interchangability

[dbriski]

Are the barrel trimmer shafts interchangable between CSUSA and the ones from Arizona Sihouette? I had the woodcraft set and they weren't doing so well for me, so I purchased a 1/2" head and 7mm shaft from CSUSA and it works awsome in comparison to the woodcraft set. I noticed the CSUSA's shaft that connects to the head is much smaller than the woodcraft ones and I can't use the extra shafts on the new head. Would I come to the same issue with Arizona Sihouette? If I ordered a shaft from them, would it fit the CSUSA head?

In this case, I would call them and ask. Even if someone says it worked for them, you never know when specs will change. Bill B knows where he is buying his stock and should be able to easily tell you with whom he is interchangeable.

I believe they are not interchangeable, but take Ed's advice to be sure.

Take measurements with your caliper, post it here and ask members who have the other to compare.

I have barrel trimmers from PSI and ArizonaSilhouette, and they are not interchangeable. Find a source for the trimmers that you like, and stay with it.

There have been quite a few posts about mills that didn't work very well....even new out of the box....and that is most likely a sharpening issue. Those things are fairly easy to sharpen yourself or if you aren't confident in your skills, you can send it off to Paul Huffman and he will make it better than new for $10, IIRC, including return postage.
