I found a dremel. And it's still taking forever. Ah well.

Use a belt sander or angle grinder.

Are you using a stone grinding bit? Dremel bit 953 did the trick for me.

I only have sandpaper bits But I do have a thinner file, and it's mostly done. About 1/16 of an inch left.

I like the dremel for this job much more than a belt sander or angle grinder that will force you to basically take the whole top off and maybe make a real big mess. I think even a hacksaw blade could work out with some patience.

Ouch LittleJP, I used the sanding bits once I had gotten all the material removed with a 953 bit. I was able to do 3 sword chokes with the one bit, and even thought it is close to being a nub, I think I could squeeze one more out of it. Trust me, the $5 for the bit is well worth the time, sanding things down takes forever. Hope everything has worked out for you.
