Thats what I did, and added a 3 way cutter so that I'm trimming, chamfering, and deburring all in one step. Prior to this I used the Lee hand trimmer/cordless drill method and could turn out ~100 cases/hr with sore hands to show for it. With the RCBS and drill I did 150 in about 20-30 minutes easily. I have to admit that initialy I hated this thing. Setting up the 3-way trimmer was a HUGE pain, but its a one time deal. Also I had trouble with the pilot not aligning properly with the cases and it was causing some damage to the inside of the case mouth. That problem seemes to have diminished (not sure why) and I like the setup now. Significantly faster and under $150.
Does anyone know if the 3 way cutting head (trim, chamfer, deburr) fits different brand hand trimmers? I bought the power rod for my Lyman trimmer and have a power drill attached. Was wondering if the 3 way cutting head would fit.
Thanks in advance!!!!
