We use various older Hepco lead trimmers with very good results and minimal
maintenance and repairs. I think most of the ones we use have been
discontinued and replaced by the current T3700 trimmer. Your parts may fit
the standard die plate, which has a grid of holes. Otherwise, you can get
die plates made for a few hundred dollars. Here is a link for more
information:

There may be used lead trimmers available, too. I even see some on eBay
occasionally. Most of ours are older Hepco Mark V trimmers, which work on
the same principle as the T3700, but have a much smaller die plate. If I
remember correctly, ours have a working area of about 3/4" x 1" (3/4" travel
of the cutting blade, 1" usable blade width). This would be too small for a
DB25 connector, though it might work for a DB15. You need standard shop air
for any of these, around 90 psi input. You could probably get by with as
little as 50 to 60 psi unless you have many large leads.

Subject: [TN] Connector Lead Trimming
Good Morning Technetters,
We have some 15 and 25 pin D-sub connectors that we need to trim the
leads. They are .030" phosphor bronze and we only need to trim about
.020 - .030 from the ends.
Does anybody know of some good reliable, low maintenance trimming tools
that would work good for this application? I want to trim them pre wave
solder, not post solder with a bologna slicer.
Thanks,
KennyB
