Barrel trimmers are horrid little things IMO. Get yourself set up with a disc sanding jig and you'll never look back and if you do it'll be absolutely square - as long as you set it up square to begin with ! Another benefit is that you won't rip the end of your blanks when the blades dull. To get the best out of the disc set up it pays to get a set of transfer punches as well
