RCBS handheld debur/chamfer tool

[Hardcast416taylor]

I had an old RCBS and an Forstner cutter heads for their case trimmers sharpened by a tool and die shop that sharpens cutting tools. That was 12 years ago and both cutters are still doing great. I have a case prep tool from RCBS and haven`t used a chamfering hand tool in at least 15 years.Robert

In some defense of RCBS, they did replace the part. Same worthless made in China. This should tell how well they work....https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog...roductId/74526.

Can't believe these sold out....so says the link.

Sometimes the temper of the brass and the size of the burr is at fault. If you have a dull case trimmer or you are trimming a huge amount you will wind up with a thick rolled over burr that is hard to remove. That burr is the fault of the trimming operation. I have used my trimmer to shorten many cases about .250. Removing this much material created a huge tough burr if you use a high feed rate with a power drill. To make the case easier to deburr let up on the trimmer pressure the last few thousandths and it will leave a very fine thin burr that is easy to remove.
Your trimming technique can make additional deburring work or it can make the deburring easy. Your choice.


I have 3 of the older Wilson made RCBS tools that are between 20 and 40 years old and they still cut just fine.

I have these, bought 1 and the other in a press kit. They are stamped only 17-60 cal and RCBS. Used both with .308 cases that were cut to size with a Lee case trimmer. Each one I turned a couple of times with modest pressure on the outer rim and checked. Each time there still remained a burr. The very small shavings didn't seem to come off easily.

Like the others, my older one still works fine. I would probably junk the Chinese tool and invest in an American made one, probably a Wilson.
