I use mine for general housework, from polishing to chainsaw sharpening. I think the only time I've ever used it was in polishing the feed ramp on a 1911 and de-leading a chamber (felt rod with red rouge).

I use a spherical burr to remove the primer crimp from military cases. It only takes a second for each case (3/16" for small and 1/4" for large).

The one thing its perfect for is cutting bicycle shifter/brake cable. Just silver solder where you want to cut and use the cut-off wheel. Deburr and polish so the cable end can be run through the casing.
