I will try to borrow a dremel.

Please ... treat yourself to your own Dremel. You'll always be glad
you did.

I bought my first Dremel under the Wards Powercraft name in the
1970s. I retrofitted
it with an Allied Radio Motor Speed Control and used it for decades.
A few years ago,
when the bearings began to sound funny, I bought a replacement. I
will NEVER be
without a working Dremel.

I have the additional collets (like the chuck on a drill) that allow
me to use tools
with smaller shafts (like surplus dental drills) and drill bits of any
size, down to a
# 80 drill bit. I have many dozens of attachments and even a little
Dremel drill
press.
