Anyone use a dremel on their XD's

Thinking about buying one and was wanting to know if you guys use them.

polishing barrel? feedramp? smooth triger face? sear?


just want to hear what you guys use them for.

I really want to polish my barrel on my PT 1911 and Browning Hi-Power and maybe my new xd service

i udes the white cloth or felt wheel and heavy metal polish that you can get at les shwab and it worked great however the finish on the XD is very hard on the XD so it might take a while

so far, just the sear face. my feed ramp looks shiny as is. Really considering smoothing the trigger face though.
