I've never used the WFT, but the Tri Way trims and chambers both inside and out in one process. If you don't care about a chamber, its no better.
PuS. You should care about a chamber.
Its called a "CHAMFER"..... Not chamber

Is the Tri Way any better? Just took a look at videos - looks pretty much the same as a WFT. What would you say it has for advantages?

Ive been looking into these recently and have a Tri Way coming this week. Seems the Tri Way has an enclosure to catch the shavings and also chamfers inside and out as it trims. Ive seen complaints about the WFT leaving quite a heavy burr after it trims.
So for an extra $20, going with the Tri Way you trim and perform an inside and outside chamfer all in one step, while limiting the mess that's created. The WFT seems to trim fine from what Ive read, but you then have to perform the chamfers with a different tool and the shavings go all over.
I did a few modifications to my Tri Way Trimmer and made a video. Shows just how fast it makes trimming chores.

Nice setup Pat. Where do the chips go?

Do I need to buy two tri way trimmers to do 3006 and 308? It would be nice if one would do both.
I tried trimming .308 with the .30-06 collet in my Giraud and it didn't work.
I can trim .243 with the .308 collet though.
I see on the website that the .308 will work for other .308-based cartridges (243, 260, 7mm-08, etc) and the 30-06 will work with 270, 280, etc.. I guess there are neck length differences in those two families I am not aware of.
I'm not sure how it works with the TriWay.
I'd probably buy one if he had one for 30 carbine. One of these days I'll grab one for 30-06 as I like to feed the Garand often.
You don't have to trim 30 Carbine
