pjk Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'll try a get a photo up of a 38 super cylinder I did awhile back. The Brownells cutter would not touch the melonite finish on the super cylinder. so it was a Dremel job. Pleased with it. As Carmoney mentioned earlier don't hog into the extractor leg ends as this is where the cylinder is driven from. If you take too much metal off the ex arm ends you can wind up with too much play and that can lead into timing problems. Pk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp00ky Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 You'll need a carbide cutter for Titanium cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I always chamfer Ti cylinders with my dremel and a conical stone. Throws bluish-white sparks and makes a funny smell, but it cuts the Ti just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snertley Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Here is my chamfer job on my very dirty 610. I had my done by my gunsmith first and then took the Dremel too it with a conical dimond bit free hand. It is agressive but it does not go below the case web. I have done my other 610 the same as well as a few 625's for friends. I can get deeper and closer to the ratchet than you can with a cutter.

Carmoney Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Be careful getting too aggressive--remember the cylinder is turned by the hand pushing on the extractor ratchet lugs. You can goof up the timing if you take away too much of the engagement between the cylinder and the extractor star points. No need to get carried away with it. My own competition guns have substantially less chamfer than what is shown in some of the photos here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afoulk Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 At first, I thought I was going to need an aggressive chamfer on my 627 vcomp. I was surprised how much simply breaking sharp edges with a cylindrical stone around the chamber mouths helped. I'm leaving it alone for the time being. I'll revisit it after nationals.

NoSteel Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I know it needs to be cleaned but I did my 929 with a Dremel and 1/2" ball mill. Take my word for it, the cuts are smooooooth.. Just enough to get a chamfer on there and with RN loads fine... No real need to go more... Edited April 24, 2015 by NoSteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp00ky Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm going to try this sooner or later. http://www.shars.com/products/cutting/countersinks/1-2-6-flute-solid-carbide-countersink-90-degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
