One more thing
A dremel is a good,usefull tool,I am not knocking it,But I agree that generally,keep it away from your guns.
A pro gunsmith,who knows exactly what they are doing,doesn't need my advice.If you just bought your first Dremel,it can be the equivalent of a kid with his first hatchet(No disrespect intended)
On the general topic of polishing and smoothing,Think of funtion as a higher priority than cosmetics.Shiny doesn't help.
Think in terms of knocking off high spots .You don't want teeth sticking up.
But dont take off significant material.Don't change shape or dimensions.
And don't worry about taking out the low spots.
For example,some times a war finish hand gun or rifle will have deep,ugly cutter marks.You might cut off .007 or .010 to remove them,and have a rattly gun.Just float the high spots with a flat,hard stone.Let the low spots be a trap for grit and lube.
On parts that slide over each other,do not have your grit lines flowing in the same direction.They can tend to mesh,increasing the chances of galling.
