I'm looking at Foredom hand grinders for small delicate wood carving. The
one with the drive cable and small handpiece. I have also seen others. I
want a high quality long lasting unit.

Any advice on brand names? Features to get/stay away from?

Go pneumatic if you can afford it, Those turbine-power jobs whisk the wood
away rather than hack and bounce.
