Anyone make a chamfer/deburr tool that I can chuck up into my cordless drill??  I put my primer pocket reamer in the drill and do those, figured I could speed up the chamfer and deburr process....

Oh, and I work for a living, so a Giraud is out of the question

Lots of people make them.  Here's one...

ETA:  On sale for $1.99.  I'd get a couple of them.

The possum hollow adapter is a great idea, it seems no one has it in stock, Midway, Brownells, Grafs, Mid-south

I have a lee case holder / trimmer chucked up in my drill. Only time I chamfer is when Im prepping new brass or when I have to trim. otherwise, I leave it alone.

Yeah, I can order a counter sink from them, but that ain't gonna deburr the outside of the neck...

Here is a couple of mine.

I made the steel one over 20 years ago. It holds the RCBS tool. The aluminum one is fairly new. I had to make it because Lee changed the diameter of their cutter. I suppose so it can do the short mag calibers.

I also have a Lyman handle that their case tools thread into. I simply chuck on one of the tools to spin the whole handle. Both ends are threaded. I use it for a low drag inside tool.

Wonder if I can make this work??  



































I have a LEE tool, and a 16mm socket....

<––- runs to get a socket....


EDIT: Struck out.  I have the perfect socket to press fit the tool in, but no way to chuck a 1/2" socket in a drill.....

While it doesn't fit into a drill. I took the cutter head from this and mounted it into a motor. It does both operations and easily
adjusts to all calibers.

Just back order the Possum Hollow tool, get the trimmer while you're at it.

The wait isn't that long usually, and it is a nice piece of tool.

I put it on notify when it comes in.  I have a lyman lathe style trimmer, but I may look into it.

If you have a trimmer, get the RCBS 3-way cutter and roll trimming/chamfering/deburring all into the same step. Some of the best reloading money I've spent thus far.

ETA: That cutter works on a Hornady cam-lock trimmer too, not just the RCBS.

Will it work on a Lyman universal trimmer??

IDK but the case trim cutter will interchange between the Lyman, RCBS and I think a Redding. I bought the coated Redding cutter a couple years back and it fit both my Lyman and the RCBS shafts.

This. I bought a .30 cal one a few weeks ago and burnt through 1100 cases in about 5hrs.
Once I got it set it was right on the whole time.

Getting one for the .223 trimmer next.

Try to chuck the tool directly in you drill or your drill press.  I have a drill that claims to have a 1/2" chuck but it actuall holds bit up to about 5/8" diameter and it holds the deburring tool directly (no adapter needed).  Try it.  It might work for you.

I just got one of these from Midway when it was on sale for around $80







It has 5 rotating stations with multiple tool bits.



I set mine up with inside chamfer, outside deburr, flash hole deburr, primer pocket cleaner, and primer pocket uniformer. Just go around each one with each shell casing. Size and trim first, and swage primer pockets if necessary after. Run it through the cleaner to polish and remove case lube and it's all prepped.

My brother has the RCBS one. It is a handy tool but you pay for that handyness. $80 isn't bad what tools did it come with?

Yeah, that is a nice rig.  I see it's back up to $120 now though  Oh well, I got a adapter for the drill, and put my LEE tool in a deep well socket it fit, and it works good in the drill for now.

I don't debur by hand anymore since I have the Giraud trimmer, but if I had to debur by hand I'd invest one of these work station things.  Using a hand held drill is more fatiguing than just using a hand deburing tool IMHO
