Quickest Way To Trim Brass

Giraud trimmer. Trims to length, chamfers & deburs in one operation. 1,000 pieces per hour is possible.
Works off shoulder so not recommended for precision rifle loading of mixed brass.

Bulk brass or making 300 blackout from 223 - Dillon RT1500
For precision rifle stuff, just got the Henderson Precision trimmer. Expensive but amazing.

WFT trimmer for me, fast but you still have to chamfer and deburr, use for plinking .223. Mines mounted in a Delta drill press. Lee quick trim die for precision stuff.
WFT done me good.
Got a WTF 2. It’s great. And I keep it around.
As stated it’s good for plinking brass but to much handling brass.
After trimming I would run the cases through tumbler. Wet or dry. Knocks the burrs off the outside. Then I used to run a Lyman my die through the neck when loading. Knocks the burrs off. Saves the chamfer deburr step.
I also purchased a couple different end mill bits off eBay. The one that comes with the trimmer is crap. Dulls quickly.

100% I have a wft 2 with about 6-7 inserts. I sprang for the carbide end mill quickly. I have over 7k pieces of brass trimmed on the carbide end mill so far...still super fast and sharp.
it is like a pencil sharpener for brass once it is chucked into a drill press.
GIRAUD, ONE AND DONE, THE THREE IN ONE...
I use mine in my wood lathe, quick enough. Put the chamfer/bevel tool in the lathe as well. As Palmettomoon says above, the giraud is probably best, but at this point the WFT is a sunk cost and is good enough.
