Dremel.

Last night i went out and baught 2 tungsten carbide cuting tips for my dremel, i like using this thing now, before i was only using the cheap cut-off wheels they were hard to control and i would over cut in some areas.

or i would use the grinding tips, which suck for gridning bristles, they would wear down before you remove any metal from the bristle.

these carbide tips are awesome, they remove a ton of metal and are easy to control it's almost like using a file they cut the same way.

anyways just my 2 cents for people not like dremels, i sugest tring out the crbide tips.

grinders and dremelllers, USE EYE PROTECTION. the workpiece or a piece of the cutting tool could go flying with real force. Grinders can rip the thing right out of your hand, and no one here is stupid enough to wear a tie while using a grinder, are they? Use a clip on tie at least.

i recently bought a die grinder, between that and the power file i very rarely have to file metal, and the die grinder is very good on wood aswell.
i dont see why peoplewont like them

What? You don't dress up for grinding sessions? Don't worry, I'm being safe, bow tie all the way

i hated using the bench grinder and my dremel.

to me it was too hard to control the cuts

i found using good old hand filing worked alot better for me, the picks i made on the grinders were choppy and very ugly.

going to play with the new tip tonight and see what i can make i'll post pics tomorrow, and wow i hit 100 sweet

gentle hand with grinders. remember they do the work not you, you're just holding the thing and touching it to the wheel. if it's skipping or looking rough you're pushing too much.

yeah, my dremel is awesome. brand name, very fine variable speed tool.

and, as said, always wear eye protection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the other day one of my cheapo emery wheels flew apart while i was using it (i am new at the dremel game, i still have a bit to learn) and one chunk would have taken my right eye out for life if i hadnt been wearing safety goggles.

and note, there is a big difference between glasses and goggles. i suggest goggles all the time, and i think either shrub or illusion said the same thing in their pick making guide.

anyway.................
