On thinner pelts it can go through so you have to be careful, but it is a gradual shaving/sanding action. When you hit a piece of fat while your picking it helps grab the fat and rip it clean off so it’s nice in that aspect. Just be aware if there’s any moisture in the pelt that wheel is going to send skin/moisture everywhere so be mindful of direction of the drill

Just seems like I don't have to worry about getting any grease or oil on it from my normal/shop drill. Plus I have an air nozzle right there to help blow off any fibers that I remove. Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere. Or so I've been told.
