I only needed to trim 223 so I setup a WFT head on a little bench grinder from harbor freight. Works really well for my needs.

Nope. I do that by hand as needed.

I have a 223/556 WFT & a Lyman case prep center to do my trimming & chamfering, easy peasy.  _________________"You are either with us...as Americans. Or, You are against us.

Lee EZ trim. Comes with a chuck adapter for a drill or handle for hand. Cheap and quick

Curious what adapter you used, I have a B&D grinder and want to set it up with my WFT. Jim Sr. _________________"You are either with us...as Americans. Or, You are against us.

Same here for my .223 "AR Food". For my precision loading I use a Sinclair/Wilson trimmer. Cases are held in a precision case holder so they are perfectly straight on the "ways" and not only trimmed to precise length but perfectly square too (No matter how drunk or hungover you are). Also, I use the chamfer tool that is held precisely on the axis of the case. For new brass, or brass I've formed from other caliber cases (.308 from 30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor from .308) I use the Wilson Case Neck Reamer which also fits on the lathe type trimmer. Fire form the new brass and use the reamer inside the neck and you get a far more perfect case than using a neck turning tool. Now the inside of the neck is true rather than all the wrinkles that are the result of forming the neck at the factory (or my die when forming a new caliber). When it comes to precision, it's not how fast you get it done, it's getting it done perfectly.

Attach a chuck onto that and one could use all sorts of stuff.
