You can easily remove too much of the material from the end of the tube using a knife like this. This could affect the flare connection to the fitting and under higher pressures this will cause leaks. Using the proper de-burring tool, while ensuring you only remove burrs, is the correct way to prepare the tube for flaring.

Notice, He said "37 Degrees". AN fittings are 37 Degrees (created for military aircraft), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is 45 degrees.
TheMILVET there is SAE 37 degrees as well.
Do you have a manufacturer name and part number for the first flaring tool in the video?
Thanx 4 sharrrrring...
Why not use the deburr tool on the cutter ?
If you use a small knife you can get the chip out in one piece and not worry about losing any inside the line

He literally says it. "Maybe a 64th [of an inch]"
