I looked at most of the de-burring and chamfering tools currently on the market when I needed to replace my very old , worn out tools . I chose to go with the Lyman because every one of them has a excellent “soft” handle , and the cutters , chamfer tools thread into the handle and that makes them replaceable with a carbide up-grade .Looked like the best value for the buck to me . But my twenty-five year old Wilson torpedo type 45 degree tool is still chugging along .

Use an aluminum oxide tapered cone.

The wilson micrometer case trimmer has an optional part for chamfering after trimming. Its 100% precise too when used correctly. Makes each case exactly the same. No worry of chamfering deeper or shallower…

Charlie Mac – you missed the key element, “with handles”. Burrs typically have a 1/4″ shank to be used in a drill motor. The Lyman is embedded into the handle and the Redding is a screw-in. I have a call into Brownells/Sinclair to find out the shaft diameter for their handle – which, regrettably, is hard plastic, not soft/ergo.

While I am a fan of K&M products in general. The chamfering tool just plain sucks. Very poor design and very easy to ruin good cases. I would use anything else before using this tool.

Regrettably, none of the tools with handles support .50 cal. Market opportunity.
