The dremel is simply a tool to allow for quicker sanding. It doesnt influence, one way or another, the result achieved, except that the result is arrived at sooner (once one learns how to control the tool!). The quality of the result is a function of what the technician understands needs to be done. I have used it for major reshaping with good results. -Tom
