Dremel to frag Q

What disc will be OK to use to frag a coral? does it have to be diamond or steel be good enough?
I'm about to frag a chalice to DBTC but have not done it before.

Thx
 
I use both. I find the steel works better with certain density corals. For the harder ones I use the diamond ones. My steel one is BIG. It's not the normal Dremel brand one but rather a cheap Harbor Freight one.
 
I use the diamond ones from Harbor Freight and also some larger diamond ones (1.5") that I picked up from somewhere online.
 
Do you use the standard size collet on that? I've always wondered about using a bigger wheel on the Dremel.
 
I have to use the largest one as the shaft is pretty thick. It does frighten me at times as such a large blade going so damn fast can develop a nice wobble. The last thing I want is a blade shooting off and nailing me :D I only whip that one out in extreme cases now.
 
So I grabbed the Dremel from my brother and will frag the chalice to DBTC it to the remaining people.
I'll use the diamond since I could not find the steel wheel.

Thx
