    Nope. Don't like Deremels for polishing at all. I use a 2" looseleaf cotton wheel on my grinder/buffer for restores otherwise by hand avoiding the edge..

    I've used a Dremel. Just used it on two razors this past Sunday. But I'll only use one for some of the really tough stuff that is hard to hand polish out.

    You also must be very careful. While it has not happened to me, I hear of others that have had the blade ripped out of their hand, blades broken, etc.

    I use a jig with rare earth magnets to hold the blade, also watch the rotation of the polishing felt. Never allow rotation into the blade edge. I use only 1000 rpm, the lowest setting on mine. Wear gloves and safety glasses.

    Personally I think it helps if you've used a Dremel for other things and are already familiar with one. I use mine to keep the dog's nails ground back.
