My dremel is my all purpose tool . I think that's a pretty good deal you've seen .. All those accessories are definately worth it ! Mine has a "speedometer" from 1 to 10 . I can't tell you how important that is. You can use it for alot of things - including toenails ! I use mine alot for drilling holes in glass and wood ... the uses are endless ! I'd buy it if I were you ! :)

hMikka - sounds like you are doing a great job - a metal file wont give you the same FEEL as a Dremel which vibrates alot. It is important you always end on a positive note. Reward your dog for being curious about the tool when it is off. ALSO the more you just touch your dogs paws with and without the tool the better. Dogs front paws to them are like our privates are to us. No dog likes to have its paws (front especially) and from the minute you get a new pup the more you are hands on the better, front paws, sticking your finger down in their ears - not far, lifting their lips, lifting their tails (I scratch my dog around his "pants" making certain I get to touch the area close to his anal area - when he was younger I had to manually release his anal glands, and had to get quite personal. Because I had a more hands on protocol, my dog did not care one iota. As far as tying up your hair. It almost got me!!! I grow my hair out every year to donate to LOCKS OF LOVE and last summer I got the Dremel out and went to make certain it was on and working properly before introducing my dog to it (we have been doing this 12 years now and I still make certain his stress level stays low) and the darn thing tried to grab my hair!! But it gets so long that the window grabs it, the seatbealt retractor grabs it, it tries to grab my food....I get so sick of it being pulled and grabbed at that I am happy to have it chopped off. Good luck with your pup, and remember touch touch touch touch touch, communicate, praise and treat and go slow....

Realrose, that's exactly what I was thinking of using it for. Not so much cutting up big tiles, but shaping and softening the smaller pieces. I'll be very curious to know how that works for you. The bits are $10 each, so I didn't want to buy one without checking to see if anyone has experience with it. Calamity, I'm curious about your tile saw. The only one I've seen in action is the one our "tile friend" has used when he's done work on our house. It's hooked up to a hose, looks like a table saw and makes a big mess. Though, I could do what he does and set it up outside, I'm wondering if what you're referring to is something different? I checked them out on Amazon and they seemed to have some smaller ones that might go on a table top. I'd love to know what you work with.

Hi, They make a router base that affixes on to the dremel. This would give you a measure of control, but it still won't be easy. The type of cutter may have something to do with it. For script I would be using a carborundum burr-type cutter (silver color and bumpy) in a cylinder shape. I would cut with the tool held at 45 degrees to the work, so the corner of the burr is cutting. You will get a vee-shaped cut from this. Of course, I wouldn't be using the aforementioned router base with this technique. Casey
