I use the RCBS trimmer. It's mounted to a piece of 3/8" X 4" angle iron. I chuck it up in my vise and crank away. Slow, but it works good.
As I'm looking around here in my reloading room, I don't see it. It's hard to miss, what with being mounted to that iron. Now I gotta' go look for it! :oops3:

I have an old RCBS case trimmer - I got it as part of a kit with powder measure and scale back about 1976. Still using all of the equipment, but the case trimmer's cutter head is pretty dull.

Nice job on the 30-06 brass dennishoddy.
I was trimming 30-06 brass today and thought I would try my luck at another approach.

I use the lee cutter and case length gauge along with the lee lockstud and shell holder.

I had the shell holder and lock stud chucked up in a drill that is secured on a bench.. Chuck up a 30-06 case and hold the cutter and case length gauge in my hand and insert into spinning 30-06 brass.

I dreaded this every time..
So I switched it up.
I chucked up the cutter into the drill press and now hold the case in my hand that is fastened into the shell holder and lockstud.

Much quicker, 8 seconds per round to trim.
I do like your video though ,,and looks extremely efficient.

But I am surprised you are not using a VLD chamfer for the ID dennishoddy
