Is there a special trick to using this bit? Every time I try to use it, the bit skips around on the metal surface I am working on. I have only used it in the dremel tool with a simple on/off switch, I haven't used an adjustable speed one because I don't own one. I could probably borrow one if this model is needed instead.

I am trying to add some letters and numbers to a piece of sheet steel. The steel is not heat treated so it is in soft form. It is 4130, if that helps.

My friend has recently given me his old zippo lighter as I want to start collecting them. Trouble is it is engraved with his ex-girlfriend's name! Is there any way that this can be taken off of the metal surface (and perhaps with my name put over the top?). Worst comes to worst I'll just scratch it off I suppose but am after a neater finish. Thanks!
