Like cleaning the floor with a toothbrush. For that type of tool you are better off with a Die Grinder which has a 1/4" chuck and the burs available are larger and Will remove some wood after you get over the fear of 22,000 rpms spinning wildly in your hands. Here is the link I just gave Finkdaddy for the 1/4' burs available. at the top the burs are pictured and scroll down to the 1/4" section for those prices. These are carbide and will last a long time http://www.treelineusa.com/frames/power.html the die grinder is avail at the local stores like Lowes and Home Depot and they have burs but Probably not the carbide type. The steel ones will dull right up and will not last long. Have More fun
