I bought my Ryobi Dremel Tool in 1994, and I find to be one of a useful tools that my hands has found a use for. I have used this tool for everything, including, polishing metal parts for my pistols, shaping the speed loader cutouts on my wooden revolver stocks, grinding the beavertails, shaping the corners on shelves, and you name it.
I ordered my Dremel from "Sportsman's Guilde" , and it was reconditioned. I collected my various accessories from retail sales and gun shows.

A great tool for those that know how to use it, but I know of more than a couple guns that have been damaged by some home gunsmithers. I needed some diamond tipped bits a couple years ago, and ended up buying a cheapo tool that came with a tool kit. It was on sale and was cheaper than buying the bits individually. I have a variable speed Dremel that I use for most of my needs, but I do keep the single speed cheapo on the tool bench for quick and dirty work.

I love mine it is what I use most when making my Big Dog Grips.
Most of you probably have never heard of my grips. I make a line of grips for the Smith and Wesson Chief Special semi auto pistols that came from the factory with the Hogue oversized and sticky rubber grips and no one ever produced any after market grips for them. I have sold well over 150 sets of these grips which are made of Delrin like the factory grips on many S&W autos and have a pretty large following for them. Matter of fact I have dropped the CS9 line due to not having enough time with all I do to work on them.
If you look at the S&W forum and do a search on Big Dog Grips you will see them.

I used files, fine sandpaper, emery cloth, and polishing stones for my detailed close up work. For polishing the metal, use the Dremel set on the lowest speed, with a cotton buffering pad.
