I saw the sticky here. Question to those who have done a method of this. Would a dremel tool with a conical very mild to smooth abrasive tip tool do the same and with much less effort???

The higher the speed the higher your chances are of creating a Reuleaux triangle. Slow and steady is the best.

Now that I have looked that up and know what it means, SMP is right. There are very few instances where a Dremel isn't the right choice, but this is probably one of them. The brass screw head method won't take more than few minutes, and it's effortless.

The Dremel also makes a lousy hammer.
