[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1458112, member: 24284"] Depends upon what synthetic we're talking about. There's little hope if you're thinking about that injection molded black plastic stuff. That stuff is just nasty! Considering the others, H-S, Mc, B&C and the like, wood working tools will 'cut' these. With the low interest in stock work/making these days commercially made tools are becoming fewer and fewer. Brownells used to offer a barrel channel tool with an off-set handle that had about an 1 5/8 diameter Surform cutter that was about 1 1/2" long that would remove wood (or most synthetics) quickly. Dastra used to make an off-set handled tool for barrel channels in various diameters (3/4", 5/8" & 1/2"). Those had hand cut teeth, like #50 Patternmakers file. Those haven't been available for some time now. A lot of 'smiths, that do stock work/making end up making a lot of their own tools to meet the task at hand. A Dremel NOT being one of the tools used for work where you can see the lines (meaning the upper edges of the inletting. The "Surform" line of tools is made by Stanley Tool. A replacement blade (the round one, item # 21-291) can be cut down to desired length and attached to a homemade handle. [/QUOTE]
