Question for those who own a Zip Trim. I bought one with plans to speed up my case trimming with the Lee case length guages without having to use a hand drill. I currently use a drill but want a bench mounted setup. The problem is the spindle has quite a bit of runout. I bought a 3 jaw chuck to go with it and have tried with that and the shell holders. I get a ton of runout at the neck, so much so it is creating neck runout. It's not terrible if I go slow but I didn't buy it to go slow. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is your Zip Trim nice and true?
Lee Zip Trim spindle runout? Common issue?

Thanks for the insight. Do you have one? There's a reason I asked and it isn't because I can simply return it.
I think you were right about them. Watching Lee's video even their demo model wobbles a lot. It will cost almost as much to send it back as I paid for it so I'll try for a 3 pointer into the garbage can. I think it's time for a real trimmer.
