Dremel

Small spinning sander

Dremel is a brand of handheld rotary power tools used for cutting, grinding, sanding, polishing, and engraving.

The tools spin small interchangeable bits at high speed, making them useful for detailed work on wood, metal, plastic, and other materials.

The name has become generic for any similar rotary tool: I used a Dremel to carve the pumpkin.
