    I recently upgraded my dremel to a real Foredom unit with a #30
    handpiece, and I couldn't be happier with it, however I also got a
    #15D handpiece, and was trying to use it for setting in a bezel and I
    can't seem to get a good finish with the supplied anvil point.  Is
    there something I'm not doing right, or is the supplied point, which
    is sort of a tapered truncated cone with sharp edges not really what
    i need with this?  What about the carbide tips?  I also noticed that
    there was some paint or someting on the end that really messed up the
    first bezel I worked on, then it seemed to chip off and was a bit
    better.  it still leaves pretty gruesome marks, perhaps I'm just in
    too much of a hurry?  

Thanks in advance.
