Foredom Typhoon burs

Turn it up to full speed. Clamp the work (not necessary once you get used to
it but highly recommended at first), rest you elbows on the bench and use
two hands to control the thing. Most importantly, do not push. Let the tool
and speed do the work. If you force it, it won't cut any faster and it with
snag and kick back.
