IAMs Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 We've got a cordless Dremel that works great on grinding down Maya's corns. We'd like to use it to grind down her nails, too, but I'm not sure which bit to use.

Guest mountain4greys Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Sanding band, 60 grit. Exactly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketDog Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Another vote for the 60grit sanding band here! Do NOT use the cone bits, the friction from those will heat the nail and bit up way too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_rooly Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I agree, too!! Coarse sanding bands for the win. Sidenote, I just found out that sanding cones ARE great for grinding the heads off of stripped screws. They REALLY REALLY do heat up, though. /hijack off Quote every day a tiny adventure.

Guest sc1911cwp Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you do a search there is a good article on removing, (hulling) corns and using a Dremal Tool for nails. Be aware that prolonged application ot the band produces heat. So take it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andruw31 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 speaking of dremels, our dog Myles isn't to fond of the manual nail clippers and so we are interested in purchasing a dremel tool. with all of the different speeds/models, i wanted to see what people recommend for a dremel model, speeds, and voltage? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eaglflyt Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 We just got the inexpensive, cordless Dremel model from WalMart ... about $20 or maybe $25. You don't need the high powered Dremel for doing dog nails. Higher speeds would be too much for dog nails. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
