How do you debur and chamfer consistently on a budget?

I bought a frankford arsenal platinum case prep center. The cutter tool is just okay, the rcbs carbide tip is a good upgrade for it. Other than that, the lee stuff chucked up in a drill works well too but it doesn't allow you to asjust case length.

I like the rcbs three way trimmer, after expanding new brass i run each case through the trimmer to chamfer, debur and trim all in one step. I have the heads for each caliber, makes it quick and easy.

Wouldn't that run around $400 startup cost? I guess it depends on what "budget" means - anything cheaper than Giraud may be budget for some.

Yeah, not really budget but if you have the trimmer the three way heads are about $50.
Well, they were when I got them years ago, and worth the price back then.
I expect anyone who reloads will eventually end up with a trimmer and this is a good way to go but you’re correct, not a low budget set up if starting without a trimmer.

Also, my trimmer is manual, I crank it by hand.

The budget-friendly option is to not bother deburring or chamfering.

I know they are no longer made but any using the trim-it 2 ? Thoughts?
