I know this is an older post but +4 on the Sinclair trimmer.
One advantage is that the bushing can also be used as a concentricity gage.
This is my trimming set-up with a homemade stand. Beside it is a v-block mounted to a plate, the clamp is just to register the bushing against while turning it. I make my own bushings so I know they are concentric ( the od and id are machined in the same set-up.) The roll stamping on the Wilson bushings throw the reading off.

Notice the sliding dovetail insert the trimmer is attached to, this is a feature I experimented with while building the bench. There are three places along the length of the bench that accept these inserts and allows various presses, etc. to be set up in different configurations. Nice feature, I wished I had thought it up.

I wanted to add some details to the Possum Hollow Kwick Trimmer. There is a shaft with the cutter on the end. There are four edges on the cutter. This assembly is inserted into a machined tube. The shaft is positioned in the tube with a set screw. The tube is machined like a chamber in a rifle, it has an internal shoulder. The case is inserted the cutter shaves the case down until the shoulder of the case meets the shoulder in the tube. The tube is long enough to keep the case square.
I bought the adapter which fits over the tube and allows the use of a 1/4" drill. However there was a little wobble, so I don't use the adaptor, I just chuck the tube in my drill press. The diameter is 0.625".
This works great. One evening I trimmed 400 cases. Too bad it doesn't deburr.
