Anyone know where they sell them? The usual suspects Screwfix, Toolstation, Selco have drawn a blank. They look like router bits, but with a little conical (usually) grindstone on the end.

Do you need one that's meatier than the Dremel ones?
=20
Preferably, but any one. I don't have a Dremel, they seem to sell the tools= in sets.
I've found what I want in Radiospares, but I'm not paying =A320+ each.

Any good?

Yes, the second one should do it. I need to chamfer a steel edge where an angle grinder won't fit.
PS Thanks.
Halfords do a set of 'mounted stones' (to fit in a drill chuck) for under a fiver.
These are the best things if you have a die grinder or something to use them in.

Ta, bought those. They look the same as the E-bay ones mentioned above.
Why didn't I think of Halfords in the first place?
Thanks all.
But, having tried to use them, utter crap for grinding MS. The periphery speed is far too low in a drill, you'd need a pneumatic die grinder.
The stones hardly scratched the steel, but the steel rapidly wore away the pointy bits on the stones.
I resorted to an angle grinder with no guard and a very worn disc, which I had been trying to avoid. It did the job though.
What sort of drill were you using?
Cordless, didn't work. Switched to a much faster mains drill. Still didn't work. Switched to angle grinder.
I've used them with a fast mains drill and found them just about ok. But they are fine stones so won't shift metal quickly. For that you want a true burr.
