Trim, chamfer and debur in one go?

[Effnjeff]

I think we are all looking for a solution to the age old problem. So far, no one has come up with a cheap and effective solution. As GGG said, use a Lee trimmer with a small battery drill. Its a cheap and effective solution. Unless you going to do 100's of cases then get your cheque book out and get ready to spend well in excess of £500.00

I do use my Lee setup with electric drill for 100s of cases for each of the 7 cartridges I reload for and have no problems whatsoever.
I cannot see the advantage in spending more.

I have posted this before but the image is still on the SD server....I improved on the basic Lee system by welding a nut on the side of the case holder and screwing in a bolt as a lever for tightening and release. Combined with the spindle lock on the drill it makes the operation one handed. The drill just sits on its battery all the time and the Lee trimmer is followed up by the double ended Lyman case prep multi tool for internal and external chamfering.

Why not stainless tumble?

It burrs the edge and removes the chamfer so you have to re-chamfer

Crossed eyes by the time I get the job in line with the varifocals sweet spot and the Speedglas and the helmet magnifier and the TIG tip these days!

So have you tried the sledge hold yet to see if I was BS-ing or not?

If I use the lee cutter I use one of their variable case holders (3 jaw chuck), nice bit of kit that works well
