Hi Gerry

    For carvings I like using my Nova cabbing wheels as much as
    possible, outside curves, etc. I also use the very edge to get into
    inside corners, directing a water stream right to the edge. I also
    use their mini points. As for mini discs, a dealer once suggested
    using one size larger disc on your mandrel, like a 1" disc on a 1/2"
    mandrel to give a more flexible edge, nice for inside curves. However
    I haven't found any that don't need continual recharging. 

Persistence and patience!
Mark
