chamfering on a drill press....

[SSN Vet]

I'm going to set up my drill press to trim cases with the Lee cutter and case length gages.

I'd like to chamfer on the drill press too.

I looked through the selection of chamfer tools on Midway and there seems to be some good options for chamfering the inside edge that will chuck in a drill press.

Don't see any cutters for the outside edge that look like they are set up to be "chuckable"

any recommendations out there?

Check the Forster web site.

I use a holder like this in my drill press:

It will work with Forster, RCBS, Wilson, and Sinclair deburring tools.

You can buy both the holder and the debur/chamfer tool as a kit from Sinclair which uses the Wilson tool. Search for item no. 05-150.

I did this at first, but I found it's really difficult to chamfer correctly at drill-press speeds. You end up sharpening the neck instead of simply removing the burrs, which is really bad for case-life. I chamfer by hand now, which takes time. Your best bet is the hand-crank chamfer rigs.

Power cutting tools & hands/finger in close quarters can be dangerous.
I guess you know not to wear gloves.

I have used a small lathe to turn trimmer & deburring tool.

I saw a guy that puts the deburring tool in a socket on a drill. 16mm

Somebody leave a Possum Hollow Case Trimmer in stock somewhere.

Use the depth stop on the quill?

Assuming the cases are all trimmed to the same length, the depth stop can be set to only chamfer how much ever you want to chamfer.
