Measured lake city 223 brass this morning. Have roughly 225 to trim, about the same in spec that I just need to debur and chamfer.

At least you are not turning a hand crank trimmer. I recently got the power adapter for my hornady cam lock trimmer, I sure don't miss cranking that handle.Trade you. I'm part way through chamfering & reaming primer pockets on this lot. I don't even know how many there are!

Oh lordy! I use my trimmer with a cordless drill! Unhooked the handle & used a slightly longer bolt into the spindle.

Wish I had bought the little $15 adapter for mine long ago. Yep, can use cordless drill with it now, goes a bit quicker and a lot easier on the right hand.
Got a picture of that?

I just take the handle off my RCBS and a half inch drill will go over the shaft
I Jerry rigged a Lyman universal similarly once like that. What I'm interested in is if robtattoo used the cutter on the Frankfort and how he done that with a drill

I don't know if I have posted this here or not but an adapter for any of the motorized case prep stations to use the Lee trimmer gauges works great to process large batches.

You ever try to use that rascal for trimming down .300blk brass?! All there is sticking out is the freaking rim!I thought you took that Frankfort machine and made it better
I've not done that, but did trim 1500 223 last year. It sucked. Another quick trim tool… took a Lee trimmer die and the cutter. Set my trim die a hair tall and cutter in the drill. Took 30-06 and resized to 7x57. I'd still be trimming if I hadn't done thatYou ever try to use that rascal for trimming down .300blk brass?! All there is sticking out is the freaking rim!
