I'll have to get some bits... and more tools... oh no! I've used a foredom and a heavy duty dremel, and they're both fine for this sort of work - just a little slower than what I use. They do have the advantage of being compatible with bigger burrs (6mm shank) that you can use for larger pieces. Diamond burrs are dirt cheap on ebay, but I recommend finding a supplier of a reputable dental brand such as the hongia ones. [ Edited by: Paipo 2006-06-27 20:04 ]
