Thanks!!

Re: Carving bits...
I would suggest you use the search function. I have contributed to at least 2 topics covering dremels and die grinders and there have been a lot more.

Re: Carving bits...
Thanks guys! I've looked at Graeme's stuff, and it is expensive, but the parts that came with my dremil really struggles with the work I was doing on an olive, so I think it'll be worth the investment.

If you need to remove any real an=mount of wood, you need serious carving tools
I have made my own and are happy with them so do a search for carving tool by Bretts and you will find the info for them

Re: Carving bits...
I have some of the bits from Graeme's in the UK and can not fault them good quality and the cutting cups can be rotated so they last quite a long time, you can also buy just replacement cutting cups, I have two quite large ones that I use for initial carving with a compressor and a die grinder and two smaller ones for the dremel which are for finer detail and finishing work, these were the ones I used on the Claret top rework which I recently posted
