Those little buffing wheels are excellent, but if you're not careful, a 
little too much pressure will loosen them off the post on the dremel tool 
rendering them useless.

About ten years ago, I found a large - 8 inches in diameter - buffing wheel 
in a woodworkers' supply store.  It's made out of the same material as the 
miniature dremel version, is even more effective and lasts longer (at least, 
for the materials I use).

It attaches to a drill press.  Try it.
