Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for final polishing rather than initial chamfering, so it’s a finishing tool rather than a general-purpose cutter.
- Requires very fine abrasive to do its job, which adds an extra step and consumable material to the process.
- The 11° lap is a specific angle choice, so it may not match every chamfering setup or preference.
- Sized for .38-.45 caliber work, which limits its use outside that range.
