45 DEGREE CHAMFER CUTTERS

A damaged or poorly-cut muzzle can really hurt accuracy; sharp edges on revolver cylinder chamber mouths can cause rounds to hang up going into the cylinder - a real problem when using speedloaders. Cure both problems with this cutter.

45 degree crown cutter
Cuts great , bull barrels w 2 reverse plugs matched , and a bushing barrel which looks gorgeous . Idk what other are talking about , mine cuts beautiful and it’s still sharp , but I use cutting oil, maybe that’s their problem who knows . But I do have one gripe , it’s not big enough to cut the entire bull barrel face. They really need to offer 3/4” . I got the widest cutter and I’m looking for a different one to finish my custom bull cut, kinda finding out the hard way here. Regardless, great cutter, im so glad brownells offers this product for us , it’s putting my builds over the top. Brownells is mandatory if you like to tinker and build beautiful 19/2011’s . Don’t listen to the negative reviews , this thing cuts perfectly , just use oil like your supposed to.

45, 5/8" Chamfering Cutter
Used this with Brownells .45 BBL. Revolver Muzzle Brass Pilot (#080-944-450) to re-crown my S&W 625PC. The brass pilot measured .4405" diameter which was a good fit for my bore (.443") diameter. The Cutter's diameter (5/8") was a good match on the guns I used it on (S&W 625, 627, & 686). The last one I used it on left chatter marks/ripples. Not sure why as it cut the others smoothly. (Hope it's not getting dull already?) Purchase Brownells Facing & Chamfering Cutter Handle (#080-589-000) to use these together.
