Post by: Wa hunter on October 30, 2016, 04:25:04 PM: I took my handle off my trimmer and chucked up my
cordless, this worked well. Maybe everyone does this?

Even faster is to chuck up one of the Lee cutter heads with the appropriate pilot in the drill press. The pilot is the depth stop, so you do have to size the brass first.

Yep, I bought one for my husband for Christmas present and he loves it. It was a pretty good deal compared to the other systems, and easy to use.
