It depends on how much material you’re removing, and how clean of a cut it leaves on the lip. I tried just tumbling to chamfer/deburr, but found it left a little ridge on the case mouth even after 3 hours with stainless media. Also seating the projectile was much smoother if I chamfered Vs if I didn’t.
That it is a good trimmer . But if you trim, so many different kind of shell light. 30r6 , 223 and 308 then you should get the one Frankford arsenal trimmer , that worked all .👌👍
A piece of plexi to shield you from small brass chips? What were you expecting 6" long dangerously sharp stainless curls? Pair of safety glasses is sufficient.. The cutting speed for that bit is better with the drill on high speed. The low speed torque is unnecessary and really noises. A quick and lighter touch will create less fatigue and give a clean cut to the cases..
The plexiglass is designed to keep the [very small] chips from flying all over the room. Usually this is done in the basement, or in another part of the house at the time, and cleaning up little brass shavings everywhere is a pain. I have since moved to a new location and have access to a proper workshop and a drill press, which makes for a much nicer trimming host.

Considering its closest competition is either a Giraud or a Henderson at hundreds of dollars for either one…it could be worse. I will say it’s very well built and has a good quality bearing.
Have used mine for at least 20,000 pieces of brass. Very accurate. 17 hornet up to 300 win mag. The other tool I love is the Harvey Deprimer Tool.
I've been looking into it for a couple of weeks... Lot's of .223 Brass and trimming is not fun... Contemplating this on my Drill press..
Great Vid. where can you get the carbide bits for this to upgrade please ?
Do I still need to chamfer and deburr the case If I use wet media tumbling after trimming?

@thereloadingcraft look like the chamfer and deberr are mandatory. I am gonna use tri way cutter instead.
Tri-cutter is definitely the fastest way to do it for sure

I have tried the Frankford and the precision tolerance is nowhere close to the little crow gunworks setup.
Are bushing sold separately does it come with any at all? Thanks in advance.
Bushings are sold separately as well, and when I bought mine it came with one that you selected in the order

Slow the speed down
Yup. One of my first two videos, definitely was nervous.
Too expensive. 70 clams for the die and 25 for a new bushing. totally insane.

Too much gibberish chatter.. Get to the point.
Too much foddle factor , no way to precisely adjust . No thanks .
