    I don't have to buy pallets, I've got a free source in Jindabyne.
    Planes on the other hand, I don't think Ms.T will believe are being given away free.

    Is it just me. But I've a dremel but fail to achieve anything with it despite my best efforts and care.
    I do use non genuine bits etc but genuine bits seen so expensive and look same quality as cheaper bits.
    Is it worth the extra for genuine dremel bits or any advice for good non dremel bits
     
  5. Dremels really are only intended for light duty, although I have used them to cut Bay panels. They rely on pure RPM, rather than torque. Easy to burn the armature windings out if you push them.

    Does a classic 1960's sno-cat count as a tractor ? Just an idea of a "useful" classic vehicle for Don..

    I used a Dremel to hack a new bushing into my steering box.
    I used a Dremel to grind out a crack in an oil pump cover to fill it with JB weld.

    And on my boat, with a box of cutting disks, I used a Dremel to carefully cut through the lower laminate surface of a balsa cored deck to be able to remove a panel and replace the core.

    Because I have an inverter in my bus it often gets used when I can not be bothered with the hookup lead.
     
  8. Just something for the weekend, thanks :)

    Hmm, the statement made by @snotty may throw the above into disarray I fear!:(

  14. yep, I concur and am living proof of how fast one of these little blighters can accelerate shrapnel into an eye. Four months after surgery am am still healing. Other than that amazing tools.

  17. Blimey. I've had the cheap cutting wheels explode on me, luckily no injuries.
     
  18. sounds like you had a close shave, hope you heal up soon and all is ok :thumbsup:
     
  19. On the mend thanks, should have had the safety specs on that were 2 meters away, doh! Corneas heal fast if the damage is shallow, but go deeper and they take forever, the danger with these tools is the spindle speed, anything leaving the tip will be travelling quickly enough to get deeply embedded. Tell me how I know...
     
  20. Maybe full face guard next time ?
