I changed from a 1/4 inch shank, air driven tool to a 1/8 inch shank rotary tool with very precise speed control. I found right of the bat that the aluminum is much more critical as far as "touch" to get the same results. A very slight pressure on the material with grinding stone gets the same results as from significant pressure with a carbide cutter on steel. So I'm ...
