Deburring rifle brass

[Jay Andrew]

I agree, sounds like a dull cutter to me. Carbide isn’t sharper, then a high speed steel cutter, but it will last longer. The trade off is that it’s more brittle, so be careful not to drop it or rough handle it.

I find the deburring tools you use will make a big difference on the ease of deburring. Sinclair makes a set that I am especially fond of.

In my experience this would be caused by either a dull cutter(less likely) or more likely trying to cut too fast. Just like cutting wood with a saw if you try to force the cut it makes it rougher, puts more stress on wood and saw. Try feeding your trimmer into the case slower and let the cutter cut. And deburring until you have sharp edge does not hurt anything unless you take off so much you actually shorten the case which can cause issues with crimping.

That makes a lot of sense wolfdog, I will take a little more time and cut slower and see how that works.

I’ll have to try and go slower. See if that does fix it. Thanks for the suggestions!
