Sadly, I don't have much time to write a detailed experience post, but my early first impressions are that it's solid, does what it says that it does, and it is worth the coin.
The unit unpacks easily; the top cover of the unit contains the collets and trimmer attachments. It takes less than ten minutes to get unit unpacked, set up, and the cutter and chamfer attachments screwed into their respective shafts. Instructions on how to get started and working are adequate to the task.
The system uses plastic collars and a collet to set the case in the case holder for the trimming operation; it's not nearly as elegant as the Giraud setup but it's readily adjustable without having to buy new cutter heads for each chambering to be trimmed. For someone like me that values case prep volume across a broad range of chamberings, this may prove to be an acceptable compromise between precision and cost. The case holder itself and cutter are steel with aluminum knobs. It took me less than three minutes to get the cutter set up for operation, and the cutter held cutting tolerances within a +-.003 range for my cutting sample of 100 cases.
The only downside to the unit that is immediately obvious is the lack of chip control; unlike the Giraud, the FA unit makes zero effort to manage the flow of chips off the cutter or chamfering bits. I need to riddle out a good way to contain the chips; I didn't have time on Sunday to really think the problem through.
I can try to answer questions as I pop between other commitments if anyone wants more info.
