Looking for a recommended case trimmer for .308. I want to be able to chuck it into a cordless drill. I want it to trim case mouth to length, chamfer and de-burr case mouth. I want to use it with neck-sized cases. Any recommendations?

I use a Giraud power trimmer which does all the functions you list at the same time. I'm not aware of a drill adaptable trimmer that'll do all that in one step but maybe someone will suggest something.
I have no first hand experience with this World's Finest Trimmer at Little Crow Gun Works but it looks pretty nifty.

Here is my cheap way to do it, but you would need a drill press and a vise.
Is there an attachment that permits you to chuck the RCBS into a cordless drill?
Just unscrew the handle and chuck it up.
I love my Giraud
Giraud is the best, hands down, no doubt. The next best thing is the Forster with 3 way trimmer. The RCBS with 3 way is a peice of shit, just google the reviews for it and how it cuts crooked case mouths.
RCBS is never known for great engineering, but their 3 way cutter works great if adjusted properly.
Adjusting it is as user friendly as changing a wheel on a covered wagon.
Real men can do it, but requires lots of swearing.

Another vote for the Giraud, use it on .308, .223, and 300blk. That thing will go through some brass and the case mouths are perfect inside and out. It was well worth the money and waiting time.
The only question I have is, since the Giraud uses the shoulder as the reference point, can't the COAL vary?
Not a Giraud owner, but my guess would be yes, unless you make case gauging a regular step in your process.
I tested my Giraud two days ago with 10 F/L sized cases. They varied by .003". Good enough for me.
