Thank You , However not what I'm needing. I need the cutter designed for a drill press. Has to be carbide.
 
To clarify, are you looking for the cutter alone or for a complete assembly? Do you want to simply trim, or use a trimmer that chamfer and deburs at the same time?
 
What your looking for is an End Mill Cutter, which is used in the WFT. Spend a little more and by a quality carbide (US made) and it will not wear out/chop out as quickly.

I understand the end mill .That is correct. I do need to trim and chamfer inside and outside all at the same time. I see 3ACKLEYS is doing that with Forester product. Is there a one piece end mill cutter made to do all three cuts? Trim and chamfers). I appreciate the help Gents. Buy the way what is WFT?

Bill - The WFT (Worlds Finest Trimmer) is only going to trim the length. It has been my experience that regardless of the tool design, most multi-purpose tools are either more effective at either trimming case length or chamfer case mouths. You have to decide on what is your primary objective. If you need to remove a lot of material from case length, such as while making 300BO brass, then something like the WFT is more important. My experience is that the "End Mill" cutters are extremely efficient at rapidly removing excess material, but with the potential drawback of it also raising a burr on the inside/outside of the case mouth. You will need to then chamfer case mouths to remove these burrs.

If your cases are finished and only need minor case length adjustment/uniformity and the Chamfer is most important then there are several different tools that will work, both manual as well as powered.

There are a few machines/tools out there that will efficiently/effectively cut both case length and chamfer... the cost climbs quickly. You may find it easier to use two tools to accomplish this task for a fraction of the cost of the high-end tools. Click the link below for a suggestion on a great set-up that is budget friendly.

If your interested and have no budget constraints then you might be interested in the expensive units .... Giraud, Henderson, 21st Century, IDOD, etc.
