This would solve the problem of limited "touches" and the motor would run to trim on case while prepping another case
Well with the new all-in-one trimmer, it still uses pilots but the shell holder is universal and they did away with the shell plates. In fact they sell the v2.0 jaws to retrofit the old ones. I only had issues with stuck pilots when trimming a large amount of. Plus with the rcbs you can trim pistol cartridges and faux shoulder cases like 22 hornet. My main concern with the rcbs was how square it cuts, though with the lever feeding the case I imagine it's pretty square because the constant pressure.
Right now it's either the Lyman and another 150 for a Hornady or rcbs case mate prep station or the RCBS.
Yes the RCBS will be close in price to the giraud, but I get access to multiple calibers and all the case mouth/pocket tools
On a more budget minded side this is a great unit for the money.

I go way back , or maybe a thru Back ?
Two Hand Powered Models Lyman and Foster Lots of Pilots .
Back in the Camp Perry Days Picked up a couple Gacey Not Bad , Need to be a adjuster type Guy. Machinist in my past.
New Lyman Model picked one up on Sale not bad not a power house . I say take some getting use to ? If your a Man in your
late 20's maybe way to SLOW ? If you are wanting to do .284 Brass ? That Bushing does not come with the New Lyman .
$ 13 to $16 will get you one.
Shop Wisely !!!!

Been looking at the Henderson Precision myself...wondering why more people haven't talked about them. Looks like a very well thought out trimmer.What about Henderson?
I have the PMA and I like it. Use his case power drive adapter and while the case is mounted trim. chamfer, debur, brush, on to the next. Tip: for the ones that register on the shoulder, let the case spin past the point where you think that they have stopped cutting and your uniformity will be better.
