Hi Dan,
Dremel makes a router attachment for their motor tool. I've found that it
works great to remove outter skin and foam, but leave the inside skin intact. I
use a 1/4" deburring bit with a flat end so it won't cut through the inner
glass. You set the depth to just under the thickness of the foam. After you
remove
the foam with the Dremel chamfering is easy with 60 grit on a block. This
also works great if you're building a trigear and have to put in the hardpoint
for the flap actuator.
