Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Center  The Case Prep Center is a slighty modified version of the F.A. Case & Trim Center introduced four years ago. We say modified in that it does not include a case trimmer and the price is reduced accordingly. The reasoning behind this new unit was that most reloaders already have some sort of case trimmer they regularly use and are comfortable with. Therefore, customers did not see the necessity of purchasing a unit with a redundant case trimmer. We have to agree, as we routinely use a Forster case trimmer, while my dad used a Lyman electric trimmer. The new Case Prep Center is just what the doctor ordered for most reloaders. It includes a Chamfering tool for inside the case mouth, a Deburring tool for the outside of the case mouth and one each Primer Pocket tools (large and small) cleaning and uniforming primer pockets. The only drawback that we could find was the slow, constant speed of the motor. However, after using both the original case trim system and this case prep unit, we have concluded that the slower speed is optimum. It is not a drawback. The slower speed eliminates the possibility of putting too much chamfer on the inside of the cases, or too much beveling on the outside with the deburring tool. As with the Case Trim System, this unit allows for precise case preparation. Besides, the goal of reloading is not how fast we can do the job, but how well we can do the job.
