No Lathe Needed, No Need To Remove Barrel From Frame
Super gentle angle as currently used by Ruger on their .38/.357 DA guns. If you set back a Ruger barrel or just want to duplicate this angle on any other barrel, use this cutter. You CANNOT use 18° or 11° cutters on a 5° throat without exceeding maximum throat diameter or making a compound angle.

My 45 cal, 5 Degree Did Not Cut.(15/05/2014)
I tried this 5 degree cutter to cut forcing cone of my 45 LC Blackhawk. Cutter chipped and dulled quickly. I returned cutter for refund. I had to clean up damage caused by 5 degree cutter using their 10 degree cutter. Forcing cone is now oversize and 10 degrees. Thank You Brownells
Failed to cut - damaged the barrel(16/11/2017)
Just as Keith Sharp said in his review, this cutter would not cut at all. It did, however, damage the barrel. I read some literature from a rental outfit that says that these are high speed steel and that this "may not" cut newer stainless steel barrels that can be ultra hard.
Brownell's needs to look into this. If the cutters are defective, find another source. If the cutters will not cut modern stainless, the ad should say that. This issue cannot be left alone.
