Thanks for putting this video together. I have been reloading straight wall rifle cases for a couple of years using hand tools for case prep, but since I am now working on 30-06 rounds, I invested in the case prep station. I find that with the case prep station you don't have the "feel" for the amount of pressure to use, but your explanation certainly helped. BTW, just a thought, but since you need six tools, why not invest in a second station. You do a great job mounting them and could put two side by side on a common base. I think you do enough reloading to justify the cost.
J Heimer Actually, I also have the Power Case Prep Center which has 6 attachment points for case tools so I typically use that. When I have military brass, I find that I need 7 tools so I use the Power Case Prep Center and the Case Prep Trio together.
HornadyLoader Thanks for the reply. You might consider mentioning the Power Case Prep Center, if you redo this video. I don't reload ammo that needs the primer pocket "uncrimped," but I do use the brush on the inside of the neck, and I am thinking about the tool that "normalizes" the primer pocket. That would make five attachment points for me.
I de-prime as an initial step in my case prep process and this is when I complete all necessary steps to prep the primer pocket - later I will deburr, chamfer and brush the necks whether I have trimmed the cases or not - so I find that 3 positions are adequate - getting back to the primer pocket - seeing as reaming and uniforming are a onetime process it seems to me a simple hand tool is all that's necessary so I only replace the neck brush with a pocket cleaner and leave the deburr and chamfer tools in place ;-) - but each to his own devices
I'm getting this case prep center soon, just started reloading and trying to save time and finger cramping :) . Thanks for convincing me with your video.
If you want 6 then just buy another machine the you will have 6 . The choice is buy 2 of them or just sit back and cry about what you want /
Simple solution, us to motors = 6 tools.
get another one and make a bigger platform to hold both machines . Then you have 6

why don't you just disconnect the front piece slide it off then slide in a few more bolts for tools.
Very simple.

can it attached with WFT trimmer...??
Not fast enough RPM. WFTs work best in a drill press.
Great vid, thank you!
Eh the Lyman prep center is a better option.
They just want you to buy 2 of them !
EXACTLY- I thought the same as you. Lol
Buy two
Plastic gears !!! very,very poor quality !!
