It seems there is nothing these machines can't do. A month or two ago I brought a sandstone from a driveway and went to work on it. I successfully made a nice looking water bowl which is currently with my obt. Also since my p ornatas are only at Gatorade bottle cap size I wanted to make a water bowl instead of using an ugly bottle cap. I got my dremel and made another awesome water bowl my p ornata is currently drinking out of. I'll post some pics later but right now im on my phone and can't.

Dremel tools are Great! I use mine for all sorts of things in my T enclosures. From cutting small branches or pieces of cork bark to smoothing edges of rocks before putting them in the enclosure. I may have to try making a water dish like that cause like you I hate the bottle cap look.

Definitely get one. They are very easy to learn to use and I use mine every day. But to answer your question they are a drill you hold like a pencil and you can attach a different drill bit for different needs. Like they have a diamond bit for brick (or sandstone) or a sanding bit for well sanding.

Before anyone makes anything out of rock please put on a dust mask. The dust powder in the air really builds up quick.

The only problem is you need to buy another bit after one or two bowls because the powder that makes them cut gets all worn off.
