Just an FYI.. After looking around for a trimmer and case prep solution I ran into a friends FA case prep center. It's a REALLY nice piece of equipment. It's quiet enough, well thought out, and is leaps and bounds more robust(cast metal) then the Lyman or RCBS motorized prep centers. Not sure how people generally feel about FA but this tool is just wonderful. Ordered mine tonight for 151.00 bucks..
 
There was a thread a little while ago, I tried to find it. Believe one of the Moderators bought one and liked it also.

It looks like it is well built and thought out. Can you give any more into about it? I was considering getting one myself. I bought the WFT for 223 but would like something more versatility. My RCBS trimmer works well but is to slow even attaching a drill to it.

Reviews on Midway appear good.

Hi Rule...

I just saw it in action at my friends house..I liked it so much that I went and bought one from optics for 151.00..(look for coupons & free shipping)It's in route and I will give you some details once in hand. I was looking for a trimmer, crimp remover, and case prep. I did not like any one option very much as most required more than one tool. I love RCBS but I found their case prep center chezzy for some reason..This one fit bill almost perfectly.It could use one more tool slot but changing one out every once and awhile is not a big deal..The biggest deal to me is its WELL built. Shafts turn smooth, cool storage, Anti vibration, and it's cast metal..I really like it..
 
I watched several; videos on it. Looks nice and you can use it standing up, flat or at an angle.

Guess I will pit it on my wish list for more "stuff" to buy:eek:
 
I have had one for about a month now. Only used it on prepping military 556 for use in my 223. One of the really nice things I like about it is its weight. I can trim, de-burr, pocket uniform, etc. and don't have to hold on to the machine with my other hand.
