Back in the late 70s I was shooting next to a guy from NH at the Wilson matches. He ran an outfit, C&H Machine in NH. He was making and selling case trimers you are looking for.

I don't know if he is still in business. I got three from him, one for 223, 308 & 06.

The cutter is adjusted on the shaft when the shaft is bottomed out inside the case for proper lenght. It had a littel V cutter that cuts and deberrs inside and out. I use it ona drill press, but it would work on a cordless drill also.

It has an collar that keeps the shavings from flying around.

Just slide the case up the shaft until it bottoms out and you're done.

the only problem with the ones that fit inside the case is the OAL of the case can be diffrent depending on how thick the webing is, you almost have to keep batchs of brass together and constantly adjust the cutters. the WFD looks interesting but at 70 each depending on how many diffrent calibers you have could get expensive. I know the giraud is expensive but really its the way to go. 30 bucks for each case holder to change calibers over, I have diffrent cutter heads to for each so I dont have to mess with adjusting the cutter, but you only need one for each size bullet IE 22 cal, I use for .223 and 22-250, the 30 cal cutter I use for 308 and 30-06 just swap out the case holder that I put LNL lock rings on just snug them down and its ready to go no adjusting between calibers. the giraud was the best thing I ever bought for reloading by far.
