G-Rem 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Sounds like the ol' tool went out honorably. I'll raise a pint to him. And remember, when you are in the hardware store looking at new Dremel tools, youre not replacing it, youre honoring its memory by buying the best possible tool to carry on the tradition.

BattleRifleG3 16 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've found that the variable speed tools tend to bite the dust sooner than the fixed speed ones. My suggestion would be to have a fixed speed tool for high speed and a variable speed one for low speed. Abrasives against metal are generally best used on high speed, while wood sanding and carving tends to work well at low speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dinzag 31 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Death of a valuable tool is very somber indeed. Best wishes to you, keep your chin up. FYI - it was probably pissed you sold those S-12 mags to someone other than me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeric 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Damn if it comes back from the death, a Zombie Dremil, I will keep and eye on it, make sure don't go eating the other tools around. How ironic that could be! You might have to shoot the very Dremel that helped you create the S-12 you're shooting it with.... tragic.......very tragic.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
