Case Prep?

Has anyone used the RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center? Can I attach my K&M primer pocket uniformer and flash hole deburrer to it or do I have to use RCBS products? Does the prep center have chucks like a drill does to tighten up on the different tools that are used?

i've had one for quite awhile & find it to be convenient and useful. the tooling is RCBS and is threaded. the motorized portion moves slowly enough to easily control handling the case regardless of the operation. If you're going to try to prep cases to the 10,000th forget it, because you're holding the case with your hand, cut for deburring, cleaning primer pockets, uniforming them etc. its a great tool

I sure liked the one I used!

butchloc and vapodog,
Thanks for your replies. Now I need to figure out how to make my K&M stuff work with the RCBS.

The threading for the tools is 8-32. Same as standard bore brushes jags etc.

muck,
Thanks for giving me the size of the threaded shaft ID. I can just thread the end of my flash hole deburrer.
