I do. I also use several other brands of rotary tools. I like
using the flexible shaft though. Power carving speed up the
process of roughing in. For my first carvings, I almost
exclusively used the Dremel tool. I am trying to use it less as
I am learning not to grind my cut marks away.

Yes, find it useful to do finish work in spaces where I am not able to get a
tool. Mostly get small pieces of "fuzz" and fine chips out of close spaces.
Use a small round bit to fashion eyes where I want to indent the socket.

My wife has always used a Foredom. She doesn't thing a Dremel would
have enough power.

Instead of a Dremel or Foredom tool I have been using an air powered mini
die grinder. It uses the same 1/8 inch shank bits that these other tools use
but it has more speed (about 30,000 rpm) and power than either one of them.
You can buy one of these die grinders for about $70 now.
