These are the three main ones that I have used.
I have much better control of the speed and the placement of the tool with the Dremel than with my router.

That's just a normal wire brush? How aggressive is it?

It gets down in the corners but as you said, it is slow going.
and still needs to be smoothed out by hand.

These solid carbide bits work good.

I bought a Kutzall burr to try to fix that problem with. Like this one but in fine grit and 1/4" shank. Never got around to trying it yet. https://www.amazon.ca/Kutzall-Original- ... HJ1ZQ&th=1 Specs say it is good for router speeds. I admit to being a little apprehensive about trying it since I don't know how it will react.

I have one of those in 1/2" dia.down to point and use it for carving the toes in the feet of Queen Ann style furniture legs. Man, does that carve fast,I think it might be too aggressive for taking burns out of blood grooves. It is a pleasure to use for carving though.
I use it in a battery drill motor, as fast as it cuts, I would be reluctant to use it in a router motor for free hand carving.

NO NO NO, and just plain NO! :shock:
Running work backwards across a router bit is going to end in tears, and quite possibly a trip to ER.

Not if you've already run it in the correct direction. Reversing and climb cutting across wood that's already cut to the dimension only removes the fuzz if there is any. I've been doing it for years and never had any bad experiences; there's nothing for the bit to grab onto. Now cutting into fresh material is another story...
