I have been making some rocking chairs that requires me to sculpt the wood around certain joints on the chair. I have been using a Dremmel, sanding drums in an electric drill, and hand files. This is a very slow and tedious chore. At the start of wood removal I have to remove a lot of wood quickly and then when I remove most of the excess wood I need to slowly and gently shape the wood to its final form. I would like to find a way to reduce the amount of time that this chore requires. I thought of getting an air compressor and use a die grinder and then I thought of the Foredom tools. I have looked at their site and they have two different sizes of motors for their flex shaft tool. A sixth of a horse power and a third of a horse power. Do you have any experience with either of these Foredom tools? Do you think that a Foredom tool would work well in this situation? I don't think that I would run the tool very hard for a long length of time but I feel that I would need the one third horse power model. Also do the large carbide bits that they sell remove wood quicker than a coarse grit sanding drum? I have just started to look into this so if you have any thoughts that might help me make a decision please advise me. Thanks a lot. Pete
