Ordered mine for cheap money from CTS engineering (small business in FL and a father/son operation). Removable inserts in all popular calibers and cheap money ($15/caliber change) and chamfers/trims at the same time. Best part is it attaches to a home electric drill as well as a press so it can be used either way.
I’ve used mine on thousands of cases and it’s super fast and easy to set up. I’m into it for just about $150 with 5 or 6 caliber changes.
Are you sure those do the chamfer and trimming at the same time?
I looked into a Giraud tri way trimmer which trime, chamfers and deburrs but it does not do 6.5 creedmoor
Yes it does, give them a ring. 6.5 Creedmoor is a standard, but he’ll even make custom ones if you need.
I emailed him a while back and got this reply
No they do not.
We have tried to accomplish that w/ a different cutting head about 7 years ago but the results were not like doing those 2 processes by hand.
We have never seen a trimmer that did those 3 operations effectively / consistently.
Regards,
Jim
That’s the power trimmer not the drill attachment
I looked at the website and could not find the inserts for different calibers. You can order the trimmer in a specific caliber but nowhere did I see the option to order additional inserts. CTS Case Trimmershoot them an email at

the guys name is Jim and he's been very responsive to emails in my experience. i don't think i've ever tried to call the shop though.
if you want to try/check out my trimmer, you're more than welcome to stop by with some brass if you're in the worcester area.
You have to email them for that. It seems cumbersome and ridiculous that they wouldn’t have their website up to date for the last 3 years, but it’s just the nature of doing business with them.
They are very responsive to emails, however. I’ve always received a response within a day. Not sure where you’re located, but if you’re anywhere near Worcester you can come give mine a try before you buy.
How did you pay? I wouldn't want to put my credit card info in an email.I would email them for it all. The trimmers are upgraded and they offer the two different styles. I got the type that just spits the brass shavings out the side of the trimmer housing, but they also make a model with a 'brass trap' type design that you have to remove the insert to empty out.
Thanks for the information. I've heard back from him and he said that he has to make the one I want with the inserts. The others on the website are caliber specific. He said he is swamped and that it would be around 7 weeks if I want one.I believe I paid him with PayPal both times. He sent me an invoice with the exact amount and I paid it. Their shipping is a little slow because they make every piece to order. I even had a custom trimmer insert made for an oddball caliber and he didn’t even charge me extra...I honestly couldn’t believe it.
In.Maybe some of you should buy one to share. The thing seems like it could run all day every day.
