Deburing and chamfering tool

I have a bunch - but prefer the Lyman vld angle cutter for chamfering. Have a couple of K&M cutters set up for my favorite rifles. Pricey, but have the pin that goes thru the flash hole to insure a straight chamfer and a depth adjustment to cut the same chamfer every time. The Lyman is very comfortable and will get the job done.
 
I use the K&M also. It works real good. However, I feel the "adjustment" blades could be a little stiffer. If this makes sense...It is ultra sharp and you can cut more than intended very quickly.

Unless you have hands of steel, forget the Flash Gordon space ship tool. Go online to Brownell's Midway or a dozen others and look for the inside (or outside) deburring/chamfering head that screws into a handle. You can get that screw in and use the handle OR also purchase the adapter for a couple of bucks that will allow screwing into the adapter and then insertion into a power screwdriver and go from there.

1. Saves the hands and cramping thereof.
2. It is easier to use.
3. It is a lot faster in performing the task.
 
I dont need a tool, i am wondering if there is a diference between them or if one is better than the other.

Thanks for the ideas, I think I am going to up grade to Giraud tri way
 
I have been using the rcbs 3 way head on my trimmer. It's a pita to set up but once it's locked down it does it all in one shot. I'm never going back, one less time I have to handle brass.
 
For chamfer, the best I've used personally is the Holland's Carbide version. It's a 14 degree chamfer, the handle is of a good size and quite comfortable, and the carbide gets the job done fast.

For debur, I haven't found anything really in the same league. I use a Lyman as it has a decently-sized handle. I wish I could find something to debur with that's as nice as the Holland chamfer tool, perhaps others might have suggestions.

I find in general that tiny tools are tiring to use, so while I have the small ones like the spaceship, it's been a while since I've used them.

Regnar,
Once again you can see responses that are all over the map. Folks like to use different tools to accomplish the same task. So for whatever its worth, here's what I use. Forster makes a device that is sold by Brownells called a "Forster Deburring Tool Base - " (part #749-003-702WB) into which you can slide/attach a variety of tools including a VLD Chamfering or other standard sized Chamfering tools made by various manufacturers. You can even insert Sinclair Pocket Primers cleaners, both small and large. I have three of these little nifty tools attached to the side of my Reloading Bench and run each and every casing through them to Debur and Chamfer my resized casings. As a last step, I run .0000 steel wool across the necks and ends of my casings to make sure everything is nice and clean and slick. This set up has worked for me for years. Each to his own I guess.

GOt a picture of it? sounds intresting.
 
CRT makes a chamfering device that is extremely sharp and cuts brass in a big hurry...a learning curve here, but once you get the hang you can shave the inner edge nicely. It fits a drill so you can chamfer a lot quickly.
 
Regnar,
PM me you email address and I'll send a few over of my setup, I haven't a clue about how to post pictures on this blog.
