I have one, repeatable is questionable at best. Currently use the FA case prep center but not happy with the chamfer consistency and it makes my fingers start to cramp up after 60 or so cases.
I think case neck chamfer is a under-discussed topic considering it's function during gas expansion mimics a valve opening and playing with the angle may result in "something" not sure what yet... either velocity or consistency. I have no way to test so I'm on the hunt for a decent adjustable setup to begin.
I use a Forster 3-in-1 case mouth cutter and their power case trimmer set up in a drill press. You can find used power trimmers for sale on eBay and there are always used floor model drill presses for sale cheap for a dedicated trimmer. Most bench drill presses do not have a stop that is consistent enough for accurate trimming. You could use the Forster 3-in-1 trimmer in their standard case trimmer setup. You can power the standard trimmer with a drill motor or power screwdriver.
