I have used die grinders, all the way up to CNC machining centers.

I just wanted to know which bits worked for you.
oddball,
oh shoot! i was barking up the wrong tree! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I cut the beak off with a hacksaw.. that Res-C put up a good fight!
Those thin cutoff wheels would've gotten stuck in it!

Then started rounding the butt with a high speed steel cutter, but found it cut "too clean & too sharp".

ended up using a 1/2" sanding drum for all the shaping & finished with it too.. left it rougher.. more factory looking.
It was the 60-grit course sanding drum (dremel part# 408)
..only because i forgot i had more 120-grit (#432) at the bottom of the drawer!
