Its pretty simple to use.
Lower the dremel so it just touches the rod
turn on the dremel
slowly turn the the rod as you feed it into the dremel.
If you take light cuts, you get pretty accurate results.
I'll post the finished project soon, and a short video if I can attach it.

At first the tooth profile was facing outward, I was able to have the tooth profile face the inside by rotating the original sketch 180deg. In the PathArray object I set Align...
