Hi Fly. In your thread on the pear, you said the dremel carving bits from

Dale Cochoy in the US of A

were the best. I found his webpage at http://pages.prodigy.net/dalecochoy/, but which bits? Could you please direct us a little here? I read somewhere else that the tri cutters are great, Is that what you use: If so, which one/s?

Thanks

Glenda

I don't have a 'tri-cutter', but if it's burrs for your Dremel (or Ozito), have a look at the link below. These burrs have 2.3mm or 3mm shafts on them. They are Tungsten Carbide so they won't wear out in a hurry, and they are very sharp. They also remove a lot of material pretty quick (but not as quick as a Samurai). Great for finishing off work, but maybe not for removing large amounts of material quickly.
I got the set of 10 at the bottom of the page. The company is in Ballina NSW. I've spoken to them on the phone, and they're good people to deal with:

Gday Glenda!

I bought a couple of the Tri-Cut bits: from memory it was the CT 101A and CT 101D. The former is great for removing a lot of material in a hurry, and the latter is a good tool for adding 'grain' to the finish.

Thanks and good luck.
