Wanna get the finest detail? Try small carbide burrs. These are double cut steel burrs in 1/32” to 1/8” sizes for Dremel machines. With a steady hand you can get the most minute hairs or textures. The three basic types are rounded, fishtail (“V” on the edge”) and flame. I found the Dremel 3000 was not that expensive and very steady. The cheaper ones wobble. (We have the burrs individually or in a kit.)
