DIY hand brass trimmer to power

Best $50 I ever spent maybe! There is a trio-prep also. Helpful for swaging primer pockets...or just quickly change out on of the heads on the duo-prep. Other better options, albeit 8-10x the price, are automatic trimmers.

Put some rubber feet on the bottom of the cutting board. Super secure and easy to use. The cutting board catches the large majority of the shavings. Which I can then sweep into the trough on the edges.

That's pretty much how my Lyman is set up. I didn't buy the "conversion" but knocked the handle off mine and turned the shaft down to fit the drill. I will say I pretty much ruined it for short cases but it's not very often I'm trimming down pistol brass. I've got a tri way on order and need to make the coupler so I can connect it to my motor and bench mount it.
 
I guess I'm the only person running a garage corded Bosch drill. I bought some linear slides but haven't got around to building a cradle to run on them that holds the drill yet.
