Dremel

[Derman2k]

Everyone is talking about how they milled their rail or whatever with a dremel...I really don't know what it is.

Is this the same idea as one?

Yup, that's the same idea.

cool they work. yep thats the same idea, only thing is it looks like that's only got 4 speed selections. Dremels are usually adjustable from 3000 - 35000 rpm (depending on what model you get, the cordless i think is only 20000)...that ony only goes to 22000 but doesn't seem to be adjustable in between, that would make it hard for detail/fine work if you can't get it adjusted right.

i suggest getting a soldering iron, not a gun. iv used both and prefer the iron... with the gun you have to hold the trigger for it to warm up ( which is a pain) and it is also MUCH heavyer and bulkyer than any iron iv used... thats for house hold stuff


try to get something more like this... also try searching for a soldering station.

industrial use and such i have NO clue, hope im of some help.

irons are so much more worth it. i mean if u wanna do one joint or something sure its fine, but if ur doing a lot of work the irons the ONLY way to go.

[halB]

btw, those irons are really only good for wires and such. if ur looking to solder metal together, i suggest a mini butane torch for small parts, and a butane/oxygen torch for the big jobs. hell i solder with my torch lighter and it kicks ***

[HoppysMag]

lol i didnt realize there were other uses for soldering guns/ irons. lol im talking wires and boards. what are other uses?

Well... to be honest... that is because it is NOT a Dremel. There are lots of tools out there that do what dremels to, look like dremels, etc. but they are not all Dremels.

Does anyone have a tutorial on the net about how to use a Dremel effectively? Like what bits to use for certain jobs? (cutting and carving metal especially)
