Incidentally, try to have the disk rotate away from sharp edges rather than toward them -- they can peel a cutoff disk down pretty rapidly. They wear fast enough as it is. >said (if I understood him correctly), I can't imagine the Dremel being >used for such a large surface project and such a large tool. Well the tool of course won't fit the Dremel, unless it's got an eighth/inch or smaller shaft -- not likely. Aside from that -- Absolutely! The Dremel is uniquely useful for things other tools can't do. But if a larger tool will do the job, chances are good that it will do it faster, better and cheaper. In the heirarchy of power tools, Dremel fills (and overlaps a bit) the space between a dental handpiece and a die grinder. -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '89 Po' White Star "Scamp" |
