I have succeeded in resharpening both as well as Lee,s Chamfer tool...was wondering in nayone else has successfully done so? I find that after using all awhile cases don't cut cleanly, but will "chatter"* ...so they need to be resharpened just enough to restore the 90° cutting edge.


*Machining vibrations, also called chatter, correspond to the relative movement between the workpiece and the cutting tool. The vibrations result in waves on the machined surface. This affects typical machining processes, such as turning, milling and drilling, and atypical machining processes, such as grinding.

Pretty sure all of mine have seen an India oilstone at one point or another. The Lee chamfer tools are one of the few Lee items I consider to be completely worthless

Ian.....I find that the Lee chamfer tool, better than when using an RCBS or Forester chamfer, as with the Lee I get zero Chattering.
