Anyone know where they sell them? The usual suspects Screwfix, Toolstation, Selco have drawn a blank. They look like router bits, but with a little conical (usually) grindstone on the end.

Do you need one that's meatier than the Dremel ones?

Preferably, but any one. I don't have a Dremel, they seem to sell the tools in sets.

I've found what I want in Radiospares, but I'm not paying £20+ each.

Yes, the second one should do it.
I need to chamfer a steel edge where an angle grinder won't fit.

Would a file not do?

No. No clearance, in the back of a small box. It has to be a rotary thingy.

You can buy a pneumatic die grinder and a set of grinding stones, very few places do single stones or small sets.

Halfords do a set of 'mounted stones' (to fit in a drill chuck) for under
a fiver.

These are the best things if you have a die grinder or something to use
them in.

Ta, bought those. They look the same as the E-bay ones mentioned above.

Why didn't I think of Halfords in the first place?

Thanks all.

But, having tried to use them, utter crap for grinding MS. The periphery speed is far too low in a drill, you'd need a pneumatic die grinder.

The stones hardly scratched the steel, but the steel rapidly wore away the pointy bits on the stones.

I resorted to an angle grinder with no guard and a very worn disc, which I had been trying to avoid. It did the job though.

What sort of drill were you using?

Switched to a much faster mains drill. Still didn't work.

I've used them with a fast mains drill and found them just about ok. But
they are fine stones so won't shift metal quickly. For that you want a
true burr.
