You have to do it "by hand", holding the dremel. You have to rout all around
the screw, like you were digging out a post hole. The tool is a tiny ball
mill... like you would use to engrave a piece of wood. I don't have the
number, but its about the size of a #50 drill bit.

How tiny, and is there a special technique? I used a 3/32 bit
in a drill press and it just wouldn't stay on the brass.


Then drill out the area with a
1/8th or 3/16th drill and glue in a dowel of the approaipiate size.

for the brass screw. DAMHIKT. Works llike a charm... twice on the same
hole, even.


I've done this before, but on much larger screws and holes.
