I have some shells that need some minor pilot repair. I was going to try cutting the pliot and steps off some of my junkier shells. I have a Dremel tool but I've not had much luck with it. What have ya'll found works the best.

Thanks
Jeremy

I often use the Dremel cutoff discs, and that's what I'd use here.

Everyone laughs about this, but I use a cheap MiniMite hooked up to an old MRC TechII power pack. Gives me all the speed and power I need, and runs nice and smooth.
