It's not, actually. All too easy to do more damage than good. If you
really want a perfect finish you want a tapered hand reamer - not a cone

I suppose it depends on the user's level of dexterity and the taper of
the cone.

Cone cutters are designed for a very different purpose than de-burring
copper tube. Bit like the way there are special cutters for plastic pipe
but some still use a hacksaw.

Your preference for the hand job has been long apparent, and
you shouldn't be denied the comfort of it.:-)

Nice one. ;-)
