I've been trying to find Us suppliers and have maybe located one, but it is hard since most still offer the cheap burs. I appreciate the help you are offering, it goes above and beyond the call of duty, Thanks. One question, I use 3/32" and 1/8" size shanks for my tools. Where does the 2.4 and4 mm sizes fit in? I guess I never posted the Stone Moai here so here it iz: First rough out Ben, did you stain the rock? It looked flat grey at first, then tan, just wondering how you got that color and polish. thanks Amy
