This review is from: 50pc DIAMOND BURR SET- Ceramics Tile Glass Lapidary for ROTARY TOOLS (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is an excellent value. Each burr is a different size and shape, resulting in an assortment that works for almost every need. (Missing are the very small sizes, but those would need a much finer grit) As mentioned in the product title, these are designed to carve hard materials...ceramic, tile, glass and stone. A steel burr set would be a better choice for wood.
An earlier product headline stated that these are 120 grit. I was guessing 150 grit, but the spec seems to have disappeared. Whichever it is, it works for most applications.

I wanted to carve animal tracks in a terracotta porcelain tile I was laying on a southwestern style portal. I ordered these bits to try, because the set was less expensive than the cost of one diamond bit I had looked at. I had heard that to keep the diamond bits in good shape, I should puddle a little water on the top of what I was carving. I did that, making sure I was grounded, wore a rubber glove to help protect the Dremel from the water..and they worked great! I was able to use the different shapes to carve realistic paw prints. As another plus: It was shipped very quickly.

I purchased this set of diamond burr because I was working on a project that involved mirrors. This set of tools was just want I needed; the other glass cutting instruments that I had were not working. I was able to drill holes through the mirrors for handles (eight to be exact) and shape my mirror pieces as needed. I would not have been able to do get the job done without the diamond burr set.
The only drawback for me, because I'm new at this, is that I did not know which tool is best for a particular job so it was trial and error. Some directions for usage (what's best for what type of job) would have been very useful.
