Case Trim & Prep Center Platinum - Frankford Arsenal
The Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Case Trim & Prep Center is a complete brass processing station that combines trimming, deburring, chamfering and primer pocket cleaning in one compact unit. Where you would normally need several separate tools, this station handles everything in a single workflow. The powerful motor drives four processing stations simultaneously, allowing you to work through large batches of brass in a short time.
Shoulder-indexed trimming
The trimming station uses an adjustable collet and bushing system that indexes the case on the shoulder. Once you have dialled in the correct setting, simply insert the case into the holder. The collet aligns the case squarely with the cutter and the shoulder stops automatically against the internal bushing, ensuring every case is trimmed to exactly the same length. Three collets and six bushings are included, covering all shouldered cartridges from .17 Remington to .460 Weatherby.
Four processing stations at once
In addition to the trimming station, the unit offers three extra powered stations with 8-32 threads. The following HSS (High Speed Steel) tools are included as standard:
- • Inside chamfer tool
- • Outside deburring tool
- • Small primer pocket scraper
- • Large primer pocket scraper
All stations run at 200 RPM, fast enough to work efficiently without losing control. The HSS tools stay sharp for thousands of cases. Need additional tooling? The Case Prep Expansion Kit from Frankford Arsenal extends the station with accessories such as a military crimp remover.
Practical to use
The station is compact enough to earn a permanent spot on your reloading bench without taking up much space. A built-in tool holder on the side stores unused heads while you work. Swapping tools is quick: unscrew one, thread in another, done. The sturdy aluminium housing provides stability during operation and dampens vibrations.
After trimming, it is advisable to check case mouth lengths with a digital caliper. For the best possible results, combine this station with clean brass from a Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series rotary tumbler.
Who uses this station?
This case processing station is particularly useful for reloaders who regularly work through larger batches. If you trim and prep 50 to 200 cases per session, you save a significant amount of time compared to manual trimming. The system is also convenient for reloaders who shoot multiple calibres, as the included collets and bushings allow you to switch between calibres quickly.
For reloaders looking for a manual trimmer with maximum per-case precision, the Ugly SRT Case Trimmer from Derraco is an excellent alternative. That trimmer also indexes on the shoulder and offers even more control per individual case.
