Gracey case trimmer?

[Rookie]

Anyone use one of these? If so how do you like it?

I've had a Gracey for over 3 years now, and I've been very happy with it. Their customer service has been outstanding. And they ship parts immediately. If you order one, make sure you order the 22 deg. cutter, to use with match or VLD bullets. Saves another step in the case prep process.

I have 2 graceys and I would order the giraud cutter made for the gracey.It is carbide and works better.It is a pain to set up ,but it isnt that bad.

Bought 1 today. Took me about 30min to get it adj. right but I was able to trim 500 .223 cases in 2hrs with no problems at all.
This thing is sweet. Made me feel silly for not getting 1 before.

Be sure to look at the Giraud also. It's more expensive but very nice.

I have one sitting on the shelf that hasn't been used in several years. In my opinion they are great until doing more than a very few cases. After that it becomes a hassle. When I was just doing .223 and .308 it was an ideal product. Now I am trimming 8 kinds of brass and the Gracey is more work than it's worth. I now use a Forster power case trimmer mounted to a precision lift which is then mounted in a small drill press. I think that I have less money in this setup than a Gracey and it's more adjustable for me.

I have a Gracey that I put an on/off switch on and a cover so it doesn't sling oil all over. Its very good if you have hundreds of cases to do.

I've had both a Gracey (including all the Giraud upgrades to it) and a Giraud, and if you plan on multiple calibers, the Giraud is clearly the way to go...

I've had one of these for yrs. Only use for .22's as that is mostly what I shoot. Darryl made me custom dies so I could trim after neck sizing, as I did not want to F.L. resize every time. It works outstanding for me.
