I have this same model of Forster case trimmer that I've used for many years. I also have mine mounted on a board like yours, so I can clamp it on my bench, then quickly remove it when I don't need it, but...

I've always mounted mine on the top of my bench (with the trimmer above the board) but that way, all of the brass trimmings accumulate on the trimmer and board, which periodically have to be cleaned off. I can see that your method of mounting the trimmer under the bench, and maybe over a trash can, would allow the brass trimmings to fall directly into the trash can, and not accumulate on the trimmer. A great time saving idea.
