    Hello Marty, You are exactly correct regarding the use of dental
    burrs.  In another life I was a dental assistant.  The burrs are
    used only a few times and at the first indication of dullness, are
    discarded.  I've gotten several burrs from my dentist, and they are
    useful.  No real secret here.  If one is lucky enough to get an old
    slow-speed dental drill (the ones with pullys and articulated
    "arms") they are really nice for jewelry work.  I've not been so
    lucky, but I keep my eye out. I recall in the past, someone shared a
    website with used dental equipment.  Most all of the tools transfer
    to crafting jewelry.
