I hardly ever use my vibratory cleaner any more nor do I hardly use my rcbs elec lathe type case trimmer.
I use a lee universal shell chuck mounted in a drill that sits in a yoke on my cleaning vise.
The following is a u tube video showing the zip trim...now just imagine doing this with an elec drill.

I do use a rag with a little flitz for polishing and I use a bronze bore brush to clean the inside of the neck...unlike the video.
BUT I THINK YOU'LL AGREE THIS IS A SUPER FAST WAY TO TRIM AND CLEAN CASES.....kind of the "kiss method".....keep it simple stupid.
(NOw why do I have that expensive rcbs sitting idle!!??)

Dont de-prime before tossing your brass into the vibro bowl.

I also use the Lee trimmers, but I chuck the cutter in the drill motor, and hold the cases up to the spinning cutter. That way one need not stop the motor to change cases. It speeds things up a lot.

Ok sounds good but....how do you get the stop feature to work...doesn't the pin on the mandral have to bottom against something??

You still use the shellholder/lockstud.

I have recently switched to a Possum Hollow Kwick Trim mounted in the drill press. Much easier and quicker. Does a great job.
