i have an ozito aswell with the cable attachment and its great, i dont know what the bits are like from ozito, if you have dremmel bits you will be much better off, the cut much better and easier, and they fit into ozito no dramas :D

Make sure you paint the wounds with wound-dressing paste/paint as bougs are prone to rotting. The best wound dressing that I've been using is bought from the Tess's nursery. She also used this on her famuous boug (you could see the pic on the front-page of her website)

Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
