Thanks Sean. The Dremel sanding disks to shape, are these used alone on the mandrel or is there a backer for the sanding disc I should get.

On the Prop thread they say that the Berrilium dust is poisonous. What precautions do you use when power grinding etc?
My precautions include:
1) Dust mask
2) Shop vac turned on and positioned to capture the filings
3) I don't use a power tool. I stick to files and sandpaper so I'm not slinging dust as far. Since I only do props for myself, the extra time isn't an issue.
