Well, I'm no engineer, but there are 2 pitfalls to beware of...
1) by using a hand-held device such as a Dremel, you may not have even metal thickness around the end of the shank, which could adversely affect the response.
2) a very thin end of the shank is more susceptible to damaging easily
Best of luck!
