    I use both a fordem with a #30 handpiece and a small air powered die
    grinder from Home Depot. They sell for about $40.00. Higher speeds
    for the diamonds, hand piece is slightly smaller diameter and a
    little longer than the #30 fordem.The only problem I see is that it
    only come with a collet system that is for 1/8". There should be
    other collets available but I haven't gone looking for them. For most
    of the ways I use the tool I was able to find 1/8" mandrels, and
    bits.I use the Fordem for things like my stone setting burs and other
    shank size tools.I love working with it.
