Hey Rolf! Here is a whole thread on the subject:

Also just a couple of days ago someone posted a picture of a tool they made to use with there dremel for burnishing.

Hope that helps!

I use one with a sanding drum for shaping edges on smaller pieces.

But personally I feel, it's too small, too fast, not powerful enough for burnishing.

I have several burnishers of various groove sizes specifically made to fit the dremels [& foredoms (sp??) & similar hand-held tools] that I use all the time for burnishing & dremel itself has two different sizes of drum sander with (I believe), 2 different grits available. When you're doing production work, it just makes life much easier. With the variable dremels, you can step down the speed considerably & also change all the tools with a simple twist of the fingers (no wrench needed).

What kind of Sanding drum are you using?

I use the standard dremel drums, medium or fine depending on the leather I'm working on.
