Which case neck chamfering tools work best for you?

this because you can get consistent chamfering from case to case if you trim all the same first. it indexes on the flash hole. they make a shallower one also, but i like the vld.
then this for the outside, 4 blades work better than 3, less slipping.
Where’s the 4th blade?
 
Jim Ziegler - I read a comment in another post that Giraud can trim case mouths to the extent that a sharp edge occurs resulting in hand/finger cuts if people aren't careful. What has been your experience?
I've never experienced anything like that.
 
I use an RCBS (LE Wilson) rocket deburrer but only the outside deburr and a Lyman Wooden handled VLD inside deburrer.

Happy with the results.
 
RCBS Trim Pro II with the 3-way head . PITA to set , but once it's set , it's great . Will hold + /- .001 all day .
 
I’ve been wondering about sharpening my outside chamfer tool. I don’t think it was ever particularly sharp even when new. Have you tried sharpening those before?
I sharpen mine occasionally.
They definitely get dull over time.

I’d like to find a higher quality tapered reamer with an appropriate angle.
 
I bought a Hornaday Duo and use my Lyman inside VLD chamfering tool with the Hornaday Duo outside chamfering tool. It does a very good job and fairly easy on your hands and wallet.

For precision, repeatable inside chamfering it is hard to go past KM’s VLD tapered tool that with the addition of the 1/4” Hex driver lets you use a small screwdriver type drill.
