I purchased the FA case trimmer on December 10, 2015. For $134.54, it has been cheaper to the tune of $125 and change
I read the reviews, I selected this model for the following criteria :

  1. uses standard threaded accessories. All the RCBS tool fit this model.
  2. Multiple stations. I use it to trim, chamfer and deburr, as well as polish internally.

    The Good:

    The damn thing has been absolutely rock solid for 2yrs 11mo and so many days. I've trimmed, chamfered, deburred thousands of 5.56, 7.62 as well as 30.06, and .303 British. Nothing has gone wrong there.

    You can have it set horizontal or vertical. I prefer the vertical horizontal (brain can't speak/type), seems to make cleanup easier.
    Its not that noisy. I listen to podcasts while processing brass, to pass the time, its not too noisy. It has a distinct noise, but not whiny.

    The Bad: the included cutter was a cheap POS. I ended up purchasing and drop-in replacing the RCBS carbide cutter almost immediately ok, 6 months later. There it has remained for the past 2 years+ trimming brass, just like new. That was a +$40 extra expense.
    It's "only" accurate to about 1-2 thousandths. I'm gonna list this as a negative, but I will NOT say it trims everything perfectly. If I set it to 1.750" for my .223/5.56mm (or 2.005" for the 308) it gets it "close enough for government work." I still use it for my (airquotes) "Precision rounds" but if you are a stickler for the absolute, a manual trimmer may be what you want. By and large, I get whenI mean to trim to, 1.750 or 2.005, but it doesn't do it EACH and EVERY time, but the vast majority, its golden.

    The trimmer indexes on the shoulder, many reviews state that doing 300 blackout brass is troublesome. I can't comment, I don't load that cartridge. The other negative is that if you intend to trim straight-wall rifle or pistol cases, it wont work (due to the design). I don't have an opinion on that, I don't trim straight-wall stuff -- But I can confirm, the design relies upon a bottleneck or shoulder to index the brass.


    All and all, for bottleneck stuff, this has been an incredibly useful addition to my bench. It has the limitations, read the reviews, buy accordingly.

Yes, they do double the cost of the machine, but cut much better than the stock ones.
