I've used it. I haven't used all of the tips, but I've used that one. It does produce a nice effect.

I remember seeing some of Tela's work with it and they came out great but that one at RIO sure gets horrible quailty reviews. Are there any other manufacturers?

Yes, if I remember right- I got 2 broken ones. Rio was good about replacing them. They were, in fact, the name brand- Foredom.

Chuck Not sure if others make it as I have not investigated it very much just yet. The engraver that uses them on occasion uses the high speed Dental motor and standard hand piece, not the hammer. He uses it much like any diamond bur and the cuts are amazingly bright.

With some careful grinding on a flat lap or sharpening stone, it should be easy to make a very simplified, tiny "faceted" gemstone pavilion shape on the end of a standard tip. As long as it has a few faces it wouldn't matter if they're not quite the same. It won't last longer than a diamond (or it might!), but then it just needs a quick touch-up.
For texturing I've been using a standard tip that I grind to a fine point when it needs it. Those round depressions are reflective, but tiny planes would work even better.
