Platinum Series Case Trim and Prep System with Hardened High Speed Steel Chamfer Debur Tool and Primer Pocket Scrapers with Trimmer

Great product! It worked good for me and saved a little of time in prepping cases for reloading.

Let me start by saying, for the reviewers that write one star reviews because they are missing something, STOP IT...thats not the purpose of reviewing and these are assembled by humans, and humans can tend to make mistakes... I almost questioned whether to buy this because of the reviews about runout on the shafts, the difficulty of consistency of having brass fired from different guns, ect...they me tell you...DONT LISTEN TO THEM! This product is awesome for what is for, rapid case trimming for brass...if you are a match shooter or think you are a match shooter...use a hand trimmer...this is not meant for exact tolerances...that being said, I was pleasantly surprised that after 500 cases of .223, fired from various rifles, and checking randomly I was wishing .0002 in tolerance...totally good enough for my purposes. I have owned a RCBS trimmer since I got my first reloader 20 years ago...I have never trimmed my brass! I always would start it and after about 10 I had better things to do...and never had any real problems...I decided to check this batch of 1000 and found some of them were pretty long! and 95% were over a little...I dug out the hand trimmer, attached a drill and after 10 was done with this process... Looking around I didn't want to spend $500 on a trimmer (correction...wife wouldn't allow me to spend $500 on a trimmer!) and I came across this...having just purchased the FA Tumbler (awesome BTW over vibration and ultrasonic) I decided to make this purchase...and I don't regret it... As many have said, trimming cases is worse than watching paint dry, however I don't see any other product out there that can make you more efficient than this, I didn't have a grip issue...its really easy to use and set up, I was up and running out of the box in 10 min! It is about as loud as my can opener in the kitchen so my wife allows me to do this in the house (thank god since I live in Phoenix and its about 120 degrees in the garage!). Other negative reviews I have read: Inconstant length - If you read the manual (I know...heaven forbid) it states to turn the case a quarter of turn clockwise after it stops cutting FOR AN EVEN CUT...I did and it works, I always hear it snip a little more when I turn it. The tool heads are junk - Working fine for me...you are cutting brass, which is like hot butter in the metal world...doesn't take much to cut it Runout on the tool heads - And? So what...your holding the casing in your HAND, its not a stationary lathe...the case will move with the small amount of runout and what micrometer it will be off my crimp die takes care of when I put them in the press... As another review said...JUST BUY IT and you will be happy!

I've read just about every review for this product. I started with the "1 star" all the way to "5 stars". At the end of the day, and after receiving the FA Platinum case trimmer/prep center just yesterday, I've come to the conclusion that it can be a good, solid and productive addition to my reloading bench! There is no magic, lightning speed method to fully process rifle or pistol brass unless you've won the lottery and can afford industrial equipment. I've already processed a couple hundred 223 cases (trim, chamfer, deburr) with this trimmer. It IS very accurate (so far). The reason I said "so far" is because I've yet to know the longevity of the cutter head. I do know that if a piece of brass needs excessive trimming, I'll push it on the chamfer & deburr attachments for a few seconds and THEN trim. This sounds like it might take more time but actually speeds up AND saves on cutter blades (IMHO). So in right under 3.5 minutes I can process 10 cases which equates to 1000 in right under 6 hours. I can deal with that! Evidently FA must have corrected the "wobbling" or "run out" on these things because every one of the case mouths are pretty dang square. You cannot push too hard but just hard enough to feel the disconnection between the cutter head and case mouth. The ONLY thing I would want to see in future production of this trimmer is to speed the RPM a bit? I will eventually purchase the RCBS carbide 8-32 (3/16) carbide cutter to maximize life. But I'm real happy with this trimmer!

Product is great and couldn't be happier which is for the 5 starts. Shipping/handling I would give 2 stars . You would have thought it would have been placed inside an Amazon box( my Hornady AP that was delivered the same time) but this was sent in its original packaging. This had more dents than a Nissian Altima driven by a teenager and the lid to the package was unsecured and looked to have been opened in transit. Luckily, the contents are there and product is fine. I'm just one of those people that like to retain the original packaging for later use. Just be aware if you order that it might arrive like this.

This is a fantastic item for trimming rifle brass. It's so much faster and more efficient than a traditional mini-lathe style trimmer. I use it to convert .223 Remington and 5.56mm NATO into 300 AAC Blackout. A couple of other tools are needed to make it happen, but this gets the final length exactly where I want it. Pros: Heavy, and heavy duty. Even when you're pushing down hard on a casing to get it trimmed up, it doesn't budge. The adjustable foot is also nice to get it angled at a convenient work position. The motor seems plenty powerful enough, it barely bogs down even when pushing hard on an extra-long casing. Setup is very straightforward - I was up and running within 10 minutes of opening the box. Cons: I suppose it could be a bit less expensive. If you're reloading your own ammunition to save costs, then any cost is hard to swallow - it just raises the price per round. But, at the going rate of almost a dollar per round of 300 BLK, this thing should pay for itself quickly. Bottom line: I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who reloads rifle brass. Since rife brass tends to stretch a bit over time, it's important to keep it trimmed to proper length anyway. But if you're going to convert bulk brass and need a way to get your final cut, bevel and chamfer done, this is the machine to do it.

I should have bought one years ago. Quiet enough to run without annoying the neighbours and powerful enough to get the job done. In the UK this US version runs from my UK 110V site transformer with the correct fly lead and RCD that I already had.

Works great and very accurate , make sure to warm it up for a few hours, keep it away from air draft , Had a problem with the first one but Frankoford Arseneal's customer service is amazing and they sent a replacement under a week , and I'm in Canada, definitely recommended.

Super gelaufen. Alles was auf dem Foto war ist im Set enthalten gewesen. Schnelle Lieferung zwar mit 30 Euro Aufpreis aber egal. Das Gerät hat 110 Volt und einen US Stecker. Wenn man aber nicht auf den Kopf gefallen ist kauft man sich einfach einen Umwandler für 40 Euro und spart sich mit dem ganzen Set inkl dem Wandler mindestens 200 Euro im Vergleich zu den Geräten was es hier in D zu kaufen gibt. Die selben Geräte nur mit EU Ausführung kosten hier ca 440 bis 500 Euro. Heute Abend probiere ich aus wie es funktioniert. Wie gesagt alles was auf den Fotos zu sehen ist ist auch im Set.

If it's in your budget than buy it. The trimmer works great. Measures off the shoulder so you need to ensure all your sizing is uniform but it will trim within 0.005" all day long. Saves a ton of time doing brass prep. I use the rcbs military crimp remover also and it does a great job of removing crimps. Definitely need to replace the cutter head though. The rcbs trim mate cutters fit and they are available in carbide. Worth the extra $50
