Start with a Dremel.
The smaller tool size will help you with control.
Use "stones" first to get an idea of what you're doing.
Once you feel comfortable, step up to carbide burrs which will give you more aggressive grinding.
If you feel the Dremel is too slow, you can step up to a 1/4" grinder - air or electrical.
