This unit is too slow to be compared to a dental turbine drill. High speed
turbines revolve at 400,000 rpms. It really depends on what you intend to
carve. I own a Powercrafter 400,000 rpm unit and like the speed, no wander
caused by hard/soft wood or wood grain.....Ralph

Anybody use dental high speed air turbine drills for carving and
detail
work?

How do they work and do you have a source for them, preferably used!
