single sided counter sink ?

a while back someone posted about a 60 degree countersink with zero flute cutting blade on it for removing primer pocket crimp. It looked kind of like a round ball with a hole through it with a cutting blade. I am thinking it was a weldon. Does anyone remember this and can let me know what size and where to buy ?

I do not remember who said what but I said I have aircraft countersinks. When forming cases and trimming a total of 30"s from the necks I use a hack saw and file or I use an aircraft countersink. I do not recommend using a counter sink on a primer pocket, beveling the primer pocket reduces support for the primer.

I used an rcbs chamfer/deburring tool to remove primer pockets crimps until I got a proper tool. I never had a problem
 
I think that might have been me,
Weldon DB 8 is a 60* De-Burring tool that STOPS cutting.

No (Zero) cutting flutes like counter sink cutting tools have, so to don't take off too much material.

Once the brass is stamped for a lip retainer for the primer,
Then punched out backwards with the primer,
Its nothing but a 'Burr' sticking out in the way, even if you swage it off to the side, there is still a groove to snag the primer.

A quick trim to remove that burr and potential snag point with something that is more or less self limiting,
Leaves a nice, small 30* taper (60* Included) works pretty good for me,
And I've been cutting metal for over 40 years.

The DB (De-Burring) #8 with 1/4" shank works well in power tools, or a collet type hand tool,
Works on both small & large primer pockets.

With the pointed nose, it finds the flash hole on large primer pockets and gives you a good clean trim that is completely self limiting and centered,
While on small primer pockets you might have to try a few to get it just right with power tools.

I spin them about 250 RPM currently on an automatic case prep machine and they give a really good, clean, FAST trim to both large & small primer brass.
 
JeepHammer, yep it was you who recommended the Weldon DB 8. I did a search and found it.
Thank you
