I love my dremel, and I recently purchased a Dremel Multi-Max

it's a knockoff of someone else's tool that recently went off patent (can't remember what) and it's a handy tool.  Great for making flush cuts in confined spaces.

On a serious note I've busted plenty of the fine cutting discs which shatter and fly off in every direction, I never use it without safety glasses.

I know that tool. The original is German made or some such, right? Has it been that long? I thought it was only on the market for <10 years. The original is insane expensive too. Something like six easy payments of $49.95+S&H.

Yeah, I think my dad just got me those glasses. IIRC, they were these soft squishy frames with a semi-hard lens. I didn't particularly like wearing them (still don't) because they tend to fog up in the cold. I like my other glasses that look more like driving lenses. Not quite as safe, but almost zero chance of fogging.

Personally, I dont care for Dremel.  I only use it as a last resort, for ultra fine work.

 You can double up on those cutting discs to help keep them from bursting apart.
Might take a little longer to cut due to the thickness... but I really dont like exploding discs at 30,000 rpms.

Samstag:
Spend the extra money and get the fiber-reinforced cutting disks like these.  They won't explode.
