Guys with Wilson Trimmer, how do you deburr/chamfer?

While doing that order do yourself a favor and add their hand deburr + chamfer tool to the list. It is has the gription grid stamped and is much sharper and precise than the other brands. Will last longer too. For inside the neck I like the K&M VLD tool. A bit spendy but it cuts perfectly concentric. A must if you shoot flat bas bullets but good for all shapes. Otherwise the WIlson tool works great on the inside.

I prefer a trimmer that does 3 way trimming, I use a cheap FA prep ctr for doing the primer pockets.I was trying to get away from the hand tools for deburring and chamfering and doing primer pockets, but, have to buy two pcs to do that, or using tumbling media that does pockets. Even with a Giraud or Henderson or 21st Century or Forster, still have the primer pockets to deal with. There is the FA prep ctr with the trimmer, but, I didn't like that unit for cartridge changeovers. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
 
I have the Wilson trimmer. Love it. Works great for the occasional trimming that I do.


For the VLD type chamfer I'd get this one:

For deburring I'd get the hornady 4 blade. It's the nicest out of the 3 I have used (lyman, rcbs, and hornady). This tool is threaded the same as the lyman chamfer tool. So you can use both with one handle if you want.

I should add... with these hand tools. When you deburr or chamfer, if you have to twist more than 2-4 times, maybe 5 max, something is wrong. With these tools it should only take light pressure and not much twisting to prep a case.
 
I do mine by hand. I don’t use the Holland (far left) much since I made the carbide tools but it does work well. The carbide cut very well. It doesn’t take much at all to get a chamfer. I only use the RCBS tool for the outside.

I bought a couple chamfer tools that were compatible with the Sinclair drill mount tool that makes the hand held tool into a drill mount tool. I got two. And bought cheap $19 drills and Walmart. Zip Zip Zip and dun. Great for doing 1000 cases at a clip.
 
I have big hands and like the Lyman de-burring tool. BTW I recently purchased a Wilson trimmer and love it!

I use Lyman case care. Multi station can do more than just chamf and deburr. Many other chores using a motor assist.
 
I have been the little RCBS hand deburring/chamfering tool for 50+ years.. Quick, easy to use, gets the job done.

The last I heard though, it is not Blue Tooth Compatible.

 
Inside with a Lyman VLD tool, Outside with the HERTERS tool I got 62 years ago when I was 14. It still works fine.
 
For deburring I'd get the hornady 4 blade. It's the nicest out of the 3 I have used (lyman, rcbs, and hornady). This tool is threaded the same as the lyman chamfer tool. So you can use both with one handle if you want.
That’s a good tip, I will have to try one now.
Thanks.
