Just get the flap wheel with a low grit count. It works pretty quickly.

That's what I used too, plus a couple of the small diameter sanding drums.

They sell them as a kit in walmart/Lowes/Home depot-- Polishing kit.
Also used the highest speed.

I used a carbide cutter and a careful hand, that cuts it like a hot knife through butter. Then I went to a drill and a grinding stone to smooth it out, then to the flap wheel sanders.
