    There are the rotary air motor type (HF one is) one of these. Very
    light weight -- one of the "real" ones is sold for about $260-- I
    have one. Dental types (may be ) lighter ??? There are also air
    turbines that go faster -the medical dental type are small but not
    inexpensive. There are some industrial types that are also bigger in
    diameter that go very fast but not cheap. The HF ones are probably
    the best buy for non industrial users. These all take a very light
    touch more like using a sable brush. 

    For carpel tunnel problems they should be as OK as possible. If you
    have problems with "skating" you are probably pushing too hard, have
    dull cutters, use the wrong cutters, running too slow or any
    combination or all of these. Grinding detail into bronze or steel is
    easy if you work correctly. The pneumatic systems are not cheap with
    a compressor and you need good clean air.
