This is the trimmer I was referencing. I wish they offered it in the Creedmoor family. Curious if anybody has tried to modify one to do calibers he doesn't offer it in?The tri-way trimmer they offer is a good option @$120

Considering one of these. Not sure about trimmers that reference off of the inside case mouth though.

Well, this is why I use my Forster, it has a positive stop you can adjust on the shaft it spins on
Makes nice clean non chattered cuts that way
I have 3 Forsters, so used one just for this purpose as I had to cut a slot in the bedway to allow room for this trimmer to spin.
The Forsters I have found pretty cheap on Ebay

I can take pics if you want to give you an idea
Sounds like a good system.
So I already have a electric drill and was wanting to just find a drill mounted trimmer. My thought was if using a giraud on a drill with the three way cutter I could just quickly trim every time even if not necessary and it would chamfer debur. Unfortunately a trimmer like that isn't available. Thus the question has one been modified.
Maybe this wouldn't be a good solution and I need to go with a trimmer and head and then would it be enough hassle with a different system that it wouldn't make sense to 3 way trim every time? If so I would need another tool to chamfer debur?

I'm not quite understanding your question in your last post here?
If Giraud makes a 3 way, then that'd be the easiest.
I was more or less showing you another cost effective way, with the RCBS 3 way model.

Since you could likely buy a Forster and a caliber specific RCBS 3 way for the price of one of the other Brands of trimmers.
Plus have the benefit of having a Forster for things like neck trimming, reaming and such also
