You rock Bov!!! Thanks for sharing this. =)

I'm gonna look for that thingamajigger that he uses in place of the mandrel mounted cutting wheel. I've had mine fly into pieces more than once

 

[908Tracy]

hahaha! Sounds like a good idea. Flying into pieces does not sound like fun!

I'll look at Harbor Freight first, since we have one here in town. Slotting mine is a lot easier now that I have a flex shaft on my rotary tool

 

[Modrod.]

Everyone needs a flex shaft.

I've had it a few weeks, and I don't run it at high speed it seems unbalanced compared to a disk, and i like the high speed for cutting, it is a thermal thing while cutting for me. I'll try it again, it is handy

I wish.... My meds have me all screwed up. They say I'll adjust to them but I'm not convinced.

Sorry to hear this Mist! It takes awhile (sometimes months) to adjust to new meds. I hope it sorts itself out quickly for ya. In the meantime....(((hugs)))

Thanks Tracy.

Mist I'm sorry you're still not back to your ornery self yet Sure do miss you around here!

I have to fix a burnt out headlight in my car...of course it had to be the one on the driver side. I have to pull the battery to be able to get to the pigtail grrrr!

Fun stuff, especially when it's cold out.

 

[Bovinia]

Yeah, I think I'll pop the bolts off the top and take the whole assembly out. There isn't even enough room between the pigtail and the battery for my hand to fit.

Hey Charlie, I used my EZ Lock gizmo to slot a carto today and had no wobble worries Cuts like buttah!

WOOT Dh bought me a brand new 10 speed dremel and a kit with the EZ lock mandrel and several metal cutting wheels.
