That will be a great set up. The tool is really easy to use when horizontally which may influence your decision. Do HF sell a mini lathe? That would be extremely useful.

@@brianpage36 I purchased the HF drill press that’s under $100. Seems like it was on sale for about $80. The main top section can be removed by loosening two set screws, and the up/down handles unscrew. With this done I just lay it on its side on a towel. Works great, and can be reassembled quickly if needed.

That price is just a little over what you would pay for a hand held drill. Well done! The trimmer is not really sensitive to RPM. People are saying that I am running mine a little too slow in the video. I agree with that. Just pick a speed that your brass likes. Get trimming!

If you think that is too much trouble reloading probably isn't the hobby for you. You can manually cut a couple thousand cases on a hand trimmer that is twice the price. (assuming you have a cordless drill)

You only need to turn the case 1/4 - 1/2 turn at the very end to finalize squaring the cut. No need to turn it throughout the trim.

I second the motion that reloading is not for you. Laziness seems to be a growing epidemic lately.

My experience with a lathe is good except swarf will end up in the indexing portion and not let case fully seat. Had to keep cleaning with a cotton swab. Vertical in a drill press is actually easier with less stopping. Modify some pliers with V-groove of aluminum or wood as a holding tool and go to town.
