Somehow I got mixed up between the threads for nail trimming and the
Rockwell Jaws, but here's my two cents worth on nails.  I've been using one
of those rechargeable Dremel tools on anywhere from two to five dogs since
1995 or so.  I use the sanding drums, with the heaviest grit I can find, and
try to keep them fairly fresh.  I just do this free-hand, and since I try to
get it done weekly, I don't take off too much nail.  I've been told that if
you accidentally quick a dog, the sanding drum is moving fast enough that it
cortarizes the wound, but I can't swear to that.  I just grind away a
little, and if the dog seems particularly uncomfortable I quit on that nail
and move on.  I guess you could cut a little wedge out of some kind of
flatstock to rest the nail in, but I've never had a dog act like it had been
quicked, so I'm nbot sure it's really all that necessary.

BTW, the garden cart I bought works great as a platform for doing this
outdoors.

Good luck.
