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. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
