Quarterbore,

Thanks for ugrading the links. Yes I do get a lot of brass chips. Since I do not have the Foster trimmer mounted on the bench.... I hold it in one hand and the drill in the other, I trim/cut the brass over a 5 gal. plastic bucket. There are about 2 in. of cuttings in the bucket now. (I have made about 2000 cases and this method seems to be the fastest)

I should elaborate a bit on technique. When you are initially cutting the case, you can cut pretty quickly. Once you get to the shoulder and the colet is no longer supporting the case, you need to back off and slow down or else you will mangle the end of the formed case. I found that setting the drill to High speed cuts the best.
