Cutting holes and indentions

["Elizabeth Auchard" <eauchard@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz>]

I have been working on 10lb pieces (and smaller) of soapstone and
alabaster.  I made a candle holder out of a piece with a small cut out
for a tea light or votive rather shallow.  I used a grinding bit that
came with my dremel and also I used it to do the ash TRAY part of an
ashtray I'm working on.  My question is the dremel bit is pretty small
so it takes a while to get the cut out done, does anyone know of a
better way or tool I could use that would be a little larger in diameter
and thickness?  Also a good tool to use for cutting holes through the
stone as well as taking out long plugs since my dremel will only go in
so far?  Keep in mind I am working on smaller pieces so I don't need
anything big just bigger.  Thanks for any suggestions.
