What is your case trimming method?

If you have a lot of cases to do or a lot of material to remove, the lathe type is faster, especially with a drill or driver installed.

I have used the lathe type and cutting square has been my issue with those type. With the lathe type, after the trimer would stop trimming, I would rotate my cases 180 degrees then trim again, and it is rare that more material isn't removed which (to me) indicates the trimmer head isn't engaging the case square. I have tried adjusting the lock side to no avail.
I don't think Lee stuff is all that great, but I have yet to find a trimming method the does what it does for the money.
The collet dies and the factory crimp dies are very good in my experience.

I'm sure that there are some super accurate lathe trimmers, but I have yet to use one. Accuracy is more important to me than production. But speed is good with the Lee trimmer.
