                        It looks pretty much like the "tree radius end" bit pictured, but has slightly finer (shallower) cutting edges. Those tool bits you posted look really good!

                        SorrySad [:(], I don't have a way of posting a picture at this time, but check out samreichart's posting for the link provided.

                        is this the bit you're talking about?

                        check this link:
                        http://www.newmantools.com/burrs/burr.htm

                        If I understand the tool you're speaking of, we woodcarvers have used such cutters for smooth removal of wood in our foredom grinders for a long time....just go slow with whatever grinder you're using...

                        Great idea! Can you post a picture of the cutter?? Your description is good, but a picture is worth a thousand words!!
                        Thanks, MattBig Smile [:D]

                        I read a lot of comments in this forum and sorted thru my Dremel and dental bits, but wasn't happy with any of the results on scrap plastic. What to do?Confused [%-)] I suppose I should have posted this in the "Tool" forum, but I know a lot of modelers who read the "Ship" forum are working on the Revell VIIc 1/72-scale U-Boat.

                        While at my friendly podiatrist (foot doctor) I noticed the flexible shaft device he used to trim and smooth toenails. He gave me a spare bit when I told him about the task I had in mind (opening the limber holes on the VIIc).Approve [^]

                        This is a bit that easily fits Dremel tools. It's made of steel, has a roughly conical shape, and helical design. It only cuts away a very little bit at a time and removes plastic more finely than most other cutters or grinders I've tried.Smile [:)]

                        I have no idea where these can be purchased (other than thru some kind of medical supply), but if you're interested...just visit your friendly local podiatrist or chiropodist.

                        By the way--the flex shaft tool had foot speed-control and an attached vacuum. It would have made a great hobby tool!Big Smile [:D]
