hey pilot

your doing some real craftsmanship with what you got there!

i noticed you want to get a dremel...well if you look around there is a few other companies that make what are called "rotary tools" same thing. and alot less money. in canada we have a store called canadian tire, and zellers.
both of these stores carry 'rotary tools' ive bought 3 of em at canadian tire when i see them on sale. the first one was a big kit, the other 2 i got with cutting discs and prolly 30 accessories for 10 bucks. im sure there is some type of hardware store you can check out that sells em.

maybe you can put a larger photo of your tools so we can all give you some more feedback on them

Hi kspec

Thanks for the tip, I've brought a cheaper version of the dremel a while ago but they don't last too long so that's why i thought I'd go and buy the real thing. It might be best to go and buy a cheaper version, It should do the job anyway.

Sorry about the small pictures, I'm on dial-up and it takes quite a while to upload large images.
I'll try to upload an larger image sometime tomorrow.

By the way, If you haven't noticed you can click on the images to make the images larger, But there not real big images though.

Thanks again.

Regatding a Dremel. I was in Home Depot the other day and grabbed one of there sales brochures at the door and noticed a 2-speed Dremel for about $35 +/-.

I perfer the variable speed rather than the 2-speed, but for the price in my area it wasn't a bad buy.

I guess i might do some research in the stores in this area and find out witch Dremel is the better one for value.

Over here the normal real dremel is about $100.00
Cheaper versions are about $40.00

I guess I'm going to have to make my mind up soon, The grinder wheel is getting quite rounded on the edges and its making it hard to make picks with so much detail.

Thanks for the help guys.

Buy a corded version over the battery operated one. From my experience the battery on the cordless one doesn't last very long and can be frustrating having to recharge the batter for 6 hours every time you make three pick tools. Next one I'm getting is a corded one.
