Looking for a decent Pen MIll

I'm starting to get into pen making. I have a Legacy pen mill, which works on the wood, but leaves an annoying raised ring of brass. I'm using 7mm pen kits, and I've noticed reviews on a few more expensive mills that mention a problem with 7mm barrels.

Does anyone have a pen mill they like that reliably squares the end of 7mm pen kits?

I use Penn states mill, and do occasionally get a raised edge on the brass. I just use a exacto knife to clean it up, or I guess a small handheld deburring tool would work too. 

I prefer a mill, but like Barron said, a lot of people prefer a disc sander.  Just use a square jig and sand the blank down till the brass is exposed and shiny.  You still might have to deburr though.
