Trax. I have to agree with everyone else. That is a great post. I like the way you showed it through the process and then the final product so clearly. Thank you for it! Welcome to COTEP and .org!

Now if I only could get up the nerve to do that to my Kimber, i could remove all the unwanted names!!!

Thanks for the info. I suspect this will give a flatter surface for high polish than any other method. No substitute for elbow grease. In retrospect, I probably would have used this method just because of the simplicity and reduced chance of screwing up with a power tool on my last project. I got lucky, but it didn't save any time or effort compared to the sandpaper method.

I really tried and wanted them gone on my Taurus but got weary with the effort involved and the lack of any real progress. I went with course emory cloth, medium emory, then 220, to 320, to 400. One of the things Im striving to control is the urge to keep going on something to the point of no return...knowing when to stop.

What I ended up with is the roll marks are now nicely subdued but still readable, I ended up quite pleased.

Heck...why limit yourself to a dremel. Go whole hog and lay your belt sander on its side. You can obliterate your slide really fast with that!
