Have you used a Frankford Arsenal Universal Precision Case Trimmer?

If so, does this trim, debur, and chamfer, or just strictly trim the case?
I am grabbing the last few items I need to start loading, and this thing caught my eye.
I will keep trying to find the answer, just figured someone here has used one.

I think this is the only one that deburrs as it trims, pricey but from what I've read, worth it.

I use the dillion sizer/trimmer and this to deburr/chamfer. Works good but still takes time. Fingers got worn out with the manual tool. Wow, just looked and it about $80-$90 more than when I got mine, damn near doubled!

Yeah everything has just about doubled by the looks of it. Nothing is cheap anymore. Only going to get worse for a while yet. ☹️

I have one of those as well, but it is so much better than doing it by hand. Worth the money IMO.
Those are slick for sure, however seeing as I am just starting, and the closest range is an hour drive until I buy a place, I dont shoot enough to justify that kind of investment yet. Trying to trim, debur and chamfer for 100 bucks or less at this point.

The G has always been in the $500 range for basic setup, even when I first started looking 6-7 years ago. It’s a known quality piece that’s value is more steady than the dollar lol.
I have a friend that uses the FA case trimmer and he loves it, better than the old drill head trimmers. Very consistent and easily so. I don’t think it chamfer/deburrs though.
