First before i get into Handpieces and tooling. Just a little bit of information from experience. Any of my big bearded brothers In look for a respirator that you can get a seal on without having to buy a parr system. Get yourself a 3m secure click respirator. I've got a thick beard 8 inches long and this is the only half face that I can get a complete seal with. Now on to tools.
Handpieces Other than foredom or cc. I am by no means intending on stepping away from quality. It's just foredom has only so many models as well as cc. I'm not just referring to angled handpieces either. I know of lucky dog thanks to a fellow member (I apologize I can't recall who) is there anything else?
Also can I get recommendations on burrs? be it carbide or diamond or even stone. Pfred and champion are my current go to for carbides. And I've had surprisingly good results with jeekvisen burrs that I stumbled upon on Amazon. They are cheap 24$ for 20 burrs that have decent life to them for their price.
I find that foredoms blue ceramic stones and their Vstones are great for plating removal. Depending on plating material, thickness and desired surface finish. As for sanding cones or drums I haven't found any premade ones that I like A split mandrel with 3m ceramic grain sand paper sheets have been my go to. The cheaper option for ceramic grain sheets Hercules from hobo freight seem to hold up.
I appreciate any recommendations. Even though I know some of the companies I've mentioned could potentially be all that id need, I like having more options and possibly having heavier pockets as a result.
