Which angle K&M cutter

[JayHHI6818]

Need to turn some 22BR (30 degree shoulder) brass and was looking at K&M site and they have the following cutter angles. Don’t have a 30 degree cutter

K&M only has one cutter angle. I called them once and asked if they could make some cutters in 30 or 40 degree and was told they didn't want to do that. Never was given a reason.

They now have a selection over several angles. Apparently they have made them 3 degrees over shoulder angle. 33 would be the one

I have a 38° for my WSM, cuts very nice into the shoulder.

Go with 21st Century and you can get any angle you want.

Over time you can also upgrade to a stand and power motor as well.

This thing is money and also saves your hands!

Thanks. Good to know. I'll have to give them a call

Why do you need different angles? I do not even know what mine is.

To match the shoulder angle.

So you can cut into the shoulder and donuts that are pushed to the outside with the expander mandrel and keep the neck shoulder junction consistent with your over all neck turn. Helps keeping brass flow build up at the neck shoulder junction and helps case extraction with tight neck chambers.
