Lip around case mouth

Why do you say that? As long as you don't use excessive pressure or time, they come out perfect. It takes maybe a second or 2 with light pressure and it's done. I would give up shooting if I had to do thousands of cases a year by hand. The cutters that come on the machines from the factory are junk. Replace them with carbide and the rolled lip goes away.
I agree. The "practiced" feel for pressure on a proper chamfering tool works well. Not holding the chamfer tool also allows for more even cuts without "chatter" and is easier to get the cut perpendicular to the case mouth - at least for me.

I just meant dont do "power" deburring or chamfering to get rid of the lip, not as general case prep. I have a Frankford Aresnal case prep station that I just use for a second or so on every case.
