You're missing the boat completely on this one. Go deeper. When you need to complete a task, do you often wonder "Is this the right tool for the job?". Erase those doubts from your mind, wonder no more. This tool is the wrong tool for the job every time. But it's a possible tool for so many of them. Pick it up, fuck it up, and walk away. Job ruined. Time for lunch.
"Would you like to buy some homeopathy?" "Yes, as long as you don't mind me paying with a bottle of water which once contained a trace amount of money."
I have owned one of these for over 3 years. I use it for tile, engineered flooring and tons of other things on my remodeling jobs. It is great for things that I don't want to get my large saws out for on punch out work.
They, believe it or not, do have their uses. Their light weight is nice when making multiple overhead cuts. I was gifted one up a few years back and decided to use it for cutting around windows that I was replacing at the time. Worked like a charm. Like most tools, with a bit of practice and a suitable application it becomes useful.
10000 surface feet per minute is close to 90mph wheel speed. If this thing gets away from you it's going to reach the end of its leash faster than a greyhound on steroids.
Looks like someone at Dremel watches your channel, they have an improved model out; The DREMEL US40 Ultra-Saw. Metal plate & guard and a 7.5 amp. motor. It would be interesting if you took apart the improved model to see the changes that were made. Many thanks to you for finding flaws in tools we spend our hard earned money on and also to the very few companies that actually try to improve their products.
0V makes it run backwards in time. I had found it made the cuts before I knew I needed to make the cuts. Just like that, my part appeared out of nowhere. It's a real existential hangover. I don't know if -1 volts or greater (lesser??) will cause a rip in spacetime. I'm scared to try it.

For you smarter folks, can anyone explain why that big dewalt “makita killer” has a brushed motor? Brushless seems to be what everyone wants, is there no need or what am I missing
@@Fee.1 its a toss up. For mains powered tools i prefers brushed. But for battery tools brusless wins every time. Brushes = friction = heat = power loss. Brusless alows for better comunicatipn betwix battery and motor. Better battery life and the ability to have speed selection and auto breaking from the motor. Yes with brusless you have a wholy mess of wires that can get all fked up. Brushed dont really have that problem
I worked as tool salesman for some years and I tell you the theft protection inside the tool is a requirement forced onto the manufacturer by retailers (or their cooperatives). The most tools that get stolen are not the ones in the boxes but the display units . if they had it only in the packaging but not in the tool itself no alarm would go off, if you leave the packaging in the shop. I've got a € 1500,- Stihl chainsaw stolen from our shop on the oppening day. It was the display unit , that would have set the alarm off, if the freakin thing would have had this ani-theft strip inside.
I grew up in the '90s so I was shown the videos of someone pulling multiple rifles, shotguns, and handguns out of their baggy pants, but it still boggles my mind how someone could steal a chainsaw.
It was a huge stihl ms362. The guy/guys?or,girl? Must have carried it into the gardening section and thrown it over the fence so he could pickk it up after leaving the store. Or another thief would pick it up right away. We only had footage of someone with the chainsaw entering the section and leaving without it. Of course I was not aware of the theft until days later. Everybody thought it was just sold.
This tool looks fantastic for certain uses, In my previous job I printed signs on aluminum sided PVC board. I had to cut it with a utility knife, this would have worked much faster and easier.
Next time you take a tool apart, pay attention to the orientation of the tool and barcode. The barcode MUST be within 3" of the internal EAS (electronic article surveillance) device embedded in the tool, because the hand scanners only have a certain range they're able to deactivate the EAS tags from. Also, while some companies can rent/request more better specialer shelf space, the retailer does lose the money for every tool stolen, at least depending on which retailer. If you're actually interested in the dirty details I'd be more comfortable talking about my job on the Patreon page.
The saw on my swiss army knife is awesome. I use it to cut branches, either for trimming a trunk or use as dowels. I don't bring bigger tools on hikes. Maybe the newer ones aren't as good, but mine works like a charm.
My work jacket looks much worse, but my hands have the marks of idiot sticks. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it's all from paddling or rope work. Wait, what?
I'm a handyman. That saw is faster than a multitool cutter. They make different blades than the ones you showed. Good for cutting around windows. Anything thin. Sometimes that blue lever on the side gets in the way. I got the corded one, plenty of power. I wish I would have gotten the battery one for $50 more, I don't always drop a cord so I wind up using something else. Not sure if the battery one is as strong or lasts long enough. Great little saw. Plunges in so easily!
Won one of these in Dremel Maker Days 2017.. This and lots of other Dremel and been using them since late fall last year. Haven't had an issue with any of them so while I know you don't like Dremel too much (lmao) they do the skippy for me and for Homegamers they work. Love ya AvE!
pos dremel! How dare my corded, variable speed noisemaker still be chooching here since 1994. That includes 10 years of pedicure duty on a pair of English bulldogs Sanding, buffing, drilling, cutting pos for sure. 😂😎
i've used the same blade for months now and it's gone through a bunch of big stuff and still cuts like a laser. the metal cutting disks go pretty quick though.
Actually picked one of these up and used it to all fuck doing recovery work after Hurricane Harvey here in Houston. One of the biggest tasks after a flood is tearing wet drywall out- this thing was AWESOME for that. Set the depth to the thickness of the drywall, and cut away without whacking up the framing.
this works good for quick cuts on tile or laminate that will be hidden by trim. Its also good at undercutting trim or baseboards evenly to slide new flooring underneath
I've personally chased a few shoplifters out of Home Depot. This corporate "do not interfere" pisses me. They NEED to have security stopping these fucks. My local store is hit at least once a week.
I've used my dremel to do things that other tools don't do very well. It's usually something that requires a bit of material removal in a spot where a normal tool will not fit. I do use it as a router for fine scroll work on wood also, even though the router attachment's depth adjustment is abysmal. It's the only thing I have found that can hold a really small diameter routing bit.
AvE, it may not be a great tool for most jobs but I need to cut larger holes in our tile countertops for a new sink and cooktop and needed to do so with minimal mess to keep the wife happy. I used one of these with the vacuum attachment hooked to my small ShopVac and it did the job and collected all the dust. No mess. For what I wanted to do it was great. No complaints. But it has been sitting on the shelf ever since. If I had used an angle grinder with a diamond wheel we would still be finding tile dust in the house.
I wanted one of these back when I layed carpet. Builders around here sometimes follow the old school way of slamming baseboards to subfloor despite the fact that subfloors are hardly ever level and tight cut carpet always loses stretch over time quicker. The problem is how are you going to cut a corner. Roberts makes a comparably priced undercut saw that has more adjustment and better blades. Just seemed like if they advertised it for cutting baseboard theyd be able to cut inside corners.
You are exactly right. I purchased one for $99 and used it for a small job on metal. The blades lasted for about 10 minutes and cost about $8 apiece. I placed on Craigslist for sale at $30.
i've been watching you for some years now and still cant workout if you are a mechanical or an electrical engineer, either way a very interest hee- man.
My father has one of those but a cheap brand. It came with regular wood saw blades blades but miniaturized and an assortment of other blades. It came with a little table/guide too, it was used for tile and worked pretty good since the tile could be set in the guide and the saw would ride in the rail to make a straight clean cut.
Bought one of these in a pinch when I needed to cut some ridiculously tough laminate flooring. It worked beautifully. It has it's place. Not many places, but it's place.
those little self-inflicted holes punch way above their weight when it comes to pain, especially with something like a staple which has machine oil on the surface, that shit stings.
jokkerb can confirm 😨 actually that's why I had to stop messing with motorized bikes for now. I'm too dang impatient & if I busted up my knuckles 2x in 1 week on some greasy grungy gears again, I'd probably puke out of pain & frustration
Nathan Smith Motorized bikes are a real good way to get your hands all fucked up. Couple nights ago I busted a spoke by tightening the sprocket clamp too much and it went right under the fingernail... need to get more of those sprocket clamps that go on the disc brake mounts
Shot a pneumatic pin gun into a trim piece for a cabinet while holding the side of it, the pin turned in the wood and attached my finger to the work. That sucked.
You are correct about renting shelf space in bigbox stores. This happens everywhere. When you see a branded shelf, it's a 99.9% chance that it's been paid for by the manufacturer of the tools. Most stores rent shelf space to manufacturers per meter or per feet in quarterly or yearly deals. This also happens in electronics, you will see for example a couple of meters/feet of asus or tp-link routers in a best buy. Not to mention the complete "shop in shop" concepts where for example apple gets to decorate part of a store in their own style. Oh and yes most stores require the manufacturers to provide or pay for the hands-on demo products that everyone can touch.
Why do people still shop at best buy? The last time I needed an electronic item in a hurry, I stopped in. They had it, but for about 5x what I could get it for from Amazon in 36 hours or so. I walked out and ordered it from Amazon. I decided I wasn't in so much of a hurry.
It probably was an HDMI or ethernet cable if I had to guess. Can't recall exactly. Didn't know they matched Amazon. Last time I bought something there, they didn't event want to match Bestbuy.com. Later, I found out they were exposed for running a scam where the bestbuy.com that showed on in-store computers was not the same one you'd see outside the store. gizmodo.com/241220/best-buy-admits-they-scam-in-store-customers-with-secret-website
It reminds me of the Milwaukee M-12 cut off tool. When I ordered it I had no idea it came with a diamond blade, metal cutoff wheel and saw blade and it didn't show it but it locks into a circular saw foot with adjustable depth maybe angle too and it has a dust collector adapter.
I bought this to cut away some rotting/moldy attic decking underneath a leaky hvac unit. I only had a few inches of clearance and couldn’t fit a regular circular saw. This made quick work of it. Small tools can do great jobs, so I tell my wife.
We bought one and used it once on a job to cut cedar shingle siding back to replace windows. It was smoother and less destructive than a circular saw. Good depth control but burned more than it cut. We knicknamed it “Smokey”.
This thing is awesome! It's the only circular cutting tool that I'm not terrified to work with! A bit expensive but so well worth it knowing that I'll probably be keeping all of my fingers...
FYI you have the wrong blade for flush cutting. There is a blade that has an offset which brings the blade to the outside of that guard. That allows you to cut the bottoms off of door casings when doing flooring and such.
Damnit a treat especial uploaded and I'm stuck I public where it would be rude to indulge. I'll cya tonight uncle bumblefuck and you'll get 2 views from me.
I love how every tool that comes in a case the case gets beaten destroyed ripped apart and thrown in the background. I literally can't stop laughing every time I see this it's great!
Sold for the fun DIY-ers out there who are spunky, but will never get around to use it. But its ok, they've told everyone they know about it. They got their use out of it.
Actually folks I was given one of these by a family member and this actually works well for undercutting door jambs to fit new hardwood or laminate flooring under it. Much faster than using a pullcut/flush cut saw. This is most appropriately classified as a "smoke saw" because even "wood" blades on this basically abrade through the wood, which is admittedly pretty asinine.
Dr Ben Goldacre talks about homeopathy and the placebo effect (among many other subjects) in his book "Bad Science". His take on it all is funny as hell. I bought the audiobook to listen to on a long drive and loved every minute of it.
You know nothing about it. Even the way you use homeopathic pillules are totally different and they align just fine with TCM methods which are now slowly being accepted into western medicine as they gain the needed scientific understanding.
No reason to be an asshat about it. Science is supposed to open minds not close them and most idiots like you who try to use the science are not even aware of it all.
My pops got one of these last Christmas from the Ma(who obviously rarely consults her son on tool purchases SIGH). I used it when they were laying tile for their kitchen remodel and it worked great for that. I'm not gonna tell anyone to go pick one up, but it's a perfectly good home gamer piece that is at least adequate for many jobs. There are for sure many better tools for a given job than these multipurpose specials, but, with care taken(I won't call it the most precise slicer; take it slow), it certainly can get the job done without emptying your wallet for a bunch of bespoke tools that you're only gonna use once. These have there place, I'll give them that. They know their market without a doubt - and it's the home gamer market. If you need to get a one off job done, it can definitely do it in the right hands.
Boy did you nail it with the utterance of "I don't see the Point"~! I sure didn't see it either as cut off blades for my Makita angle grinder are 10 for 10$ on sale and that's for a quality blade and outside for close cuts I can do everything that this cute little toy can do and I've had my Makita all metal grinder for 50 yrs. Only all metal one that I have seen~!

I had a Dremel Saw Max and I loved it. I used to use it for plywood and cutting thin stuff too light for a circular saw. And it didn't get pinched and kick back like a normal circular saw. But my uncle stole it years ago so it's gone now.
I got a Black & Decker 20V 'convertible' drill at Christmas awhile back. Came with a mini saw attachment, similar to that Dremel unit. Other than the fact the battery didn't like sitting for over a year unused. It has proven to be quite useful. Chineseum batts were cheap replacements. Whenever I pull shit apart- it usually stays in pieces! I worked at Home Depot for a couple of years... Number one thing that they stress to associates: DO NOT attempt to stop thieves . Rather, 'remind' the customer "have you paid for all of your purchases"? Crazy Glue for the 'tears'
I know I'm two years late with my comment, but.... I had one of these. I bought it for a specific purpose. With the flush cut blades they sell for it, it fits perfectly under the toe kick (overhang) on kitchen cabinets to cut out hard wood floors. Also, with the blade recessed a 1/2", it's a "new kid" proof way to cut the bottoms of door jambs, again... For flooring. The only problem I ever had with it is that mine grew legs and walked off the job site over night!
"Lifetime Grease" in the transmission of the tool. So what does it say of automobiles with "sealed transmissions" whose oil is not to be changed? Are you guys seein' what I'm seein' ?
Not the same class of douchebaggery as you can still get the car serviced and not have to throw it out. Sealed transmissions are more of a bone thrown to the dealerships and authorized mechanics.
I have this thing and when I do stuff on laser cutter, it's perfect to trim edges of plywood/plexiglass if the sheet doesn't fit the machine. A lot more convinient than to take piece to table saw and cut it there. As far as it goes for blades, they're just fine by me, but yeah, I mostly cut stuff under 10 mm.
Ave your TH-cam channel changed my life. I quit my security job and started an assembly job, I'm now an on-site tech and thinking about getting an engineering degree
The Dremel really is the quintessential homeopathic tool. I want to believe it will save time and effort with alll the jobs the bits and attachments claim to do but usually I just end up with shards of crap flying across the shop. Then ultimately going to the a proven, more labor intensive tool I should have used from the get go. But in my heart I still believe in the Dremel.

Homeopathy saved my life. They said I was an alcoholic but I learned if I put water in my scotch it was now healthy. Have to piss more often though.
I'm even worse than you, I don't add any alcohol to my water, so it's even more potent. I'm amazed I'm still alive.

Dremel the bearing into four pieces and pull them out separately.
Coincidentally, this is what my dentist did with my wisdom teeth.
Drill and tap the worm head for a grease fitting.
Pump it full of grease and POP goes the bearing. As an added bonus, then the drive head is lubeable.

Just seemed like if they advertised it for cutting baseboard theyd be able to cut inside corners.
You are exactly right. I purchased one for $99 and used it for a small job on metal. The blades lasted for about 10 minutes and cost about $8 apiece. I placed on Craigslist for sale at $30.
I used to work for a "natural' pharmacy that sold homeopathic remedies. Your description is spot-on.
I have one of these and I love it. I have used it for many home projects and it works great.
i've been watching you for some years now and still cant workout if you are a mechanical or an electrical engineer, either way a very interest hee- man.
I am pretty certain he is an Engineer in the mining business.
Hell he's got to be an "Everything Engineer"~!!
My father has one of those but a cheap brand. It came with regular wood saw blades blades but miniaturized and an assortment of other blades. It came with a little table/guide too, it was used for tile and worked pretty good since the tile could be set in the guide and the saw would ride in the rail to make a straight clean cut.
Bought one of these in a pinch when I needed to cut some ridiculously tough laminate flooring. It worked beautifully.
It has it's place. Not many places, but it's place.
“The low earth orbit switch” I love how I know what these things mean
I see a beyblade launcher in my future!!!!! Time to let it RIPPPPPPPPP
I’ve had one of those for a while. It’s OK for light work, and is handy in tight spaces, just like a dremel rotary tool.
I've had one of these for several years now. I only use it to cut plastic fiberguide but it's the best thing I have found for the task.
those little self-inflicted holes punch way above their weight when it comes to pain, especially with something like a staple which has machine oil on the surface, that shit stings.
jokkerb can confirm 😨
actually that's why I had to stop messing with motorized bikes for now. I'm too dang impatient & if I busted up my knuckles 2x in 1 week on some greasy grungy gears again, I'd probably puke out of pain & frustration
Nathan Smith Motorized bikes are a real good way to get your hands all fucked up. Couple nights ago I busted a spoke by tightening the sprocket clamp too much and it went right under the fingernail... need to get more of those sprocket clamps that go on the disc brake mounts
Shot a pneumatic pin gun into a trim piece for a cabinet while holding the side of it, the pin turned in the wood and attached my finger to the work. That sucked.
NoTimeForThatNow damn, that's some brutal luck, I can only imagine the string of cussing that followed.
jokkerb mostly cussing at myself because I knew better, was just in a rush.
You are correct about renting shelf space in bigbox stores. This happens everywhere. When you see a branded shelf, it's a 99.9% chance that it's been paid for by the manufacturer of the tools. Most stores rent shelf space to manufacturers per meter or per feet in quarterly or yearly deals. This also happens in electronics, you will see for example a couple of meters/feet of asus or tp-link routers in a best buy. Not to mention the complete "shop in shop" concepts where for example apple gets to decorate part of a store in their own style. Oh and yes most stores require the manufacturers to provide or pay for the hands-on demo products that everyone can touch.
Why do people still shop at best buy? The last time I needed an electronic item in a hurry, I stopped in. They had it, but for about 5x what I could get it for from Amazon in 36 hours or so. I walked out and ordered it from Amazon. I decided I wasn't in so much of a hurry.
It probably was an HDMI or ethernet cable if I had to guess. Can't recall exactly.
Didn't know they matched Amazon. Last time I bought something there, they didn't event want to match Bestbuy.com. Later, I found out they were exposed for running a scam where the bestbuy.com that showed on in-store computers was not the same one you'd see outside the store.

It reminds me of the Milwaukee M-12 cut off tool. When I ordered it I had no idea it came with a diamond blade, metal cutoff wheel and saw blade and it didn't show it but it locks into a circular saw foot with adjustable depth maybe angle too and it has a dust collector adapter.
I bought this to cut away some rotting/moldy attic decking underneath a leaky hvac unit. I only had a few inches of clearance and couldn’t fit a regular circular saw. This made quick work of it. Small tools can do great jobs, so I tell my wife.
17:07 I'm French! Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?
Nice to see you know how to rip a box apart, it's a dying art.
That is the best tool I have found for cutting vinyl siding. Very accurate and controlable. Never tried to use it for anything else though.
We bought one and used it once on a job to cut cedar shingle siding back to replace windows. It was smoother and less destructive than a circular saw. Good depth control but burned more than it cut. We knicknamed it “Smokey”.
at least it's not vacuum powered
Those turbo brushes are pieces of crap lol
Would a homeopathic saw remember every thing I've ever cut with it?
I love your sense of humor very interesting and honest comments
I love this video and your commentary and for some reason I'm not surprised to see a Drupal droplet in your logo either 💕
Wtf man? You opened a box by hand??? Gimme the powa tools!
Conor Murphy agreed! Where is the mini chainsaw!
I want my money back, oh wait ;-)
soundspark never scared him before eh?
AvE how many rippems do you recommend what for pacifying the better three quarters
You have got to be the most foul-mouthed, offensive, brilliantly entertaining and educational person I've ever had the pleasure to watch...
This thing is awesome! It's the only circular cutting tool that I'm not terrified to work with! A bit expensive but so well worth it knowing that I'll probably be keeping all of my fingers...
FYI you have the wrong blade for flush cutting. There is a blade that has an offset which brings the blade to the outside of that guard. That allows you to cut the bottoms off of door casings when doing flooring and such.
Damnit a treat especial uploaded and I'm stuck I public where it would be rude to indulge. I'll cya tonight uncle bumblefuck and you'll get 2 views from me.
This thing covered my work area in a fine layer of dust you can never get rid of.
I usually get a chuckle out of your vids....but 'alarmed hominid' had me rollin. Bravo, good Sir.
I love how every tool that comes in a case the case gets beaten destroyed ripped apart and thrown in the background. I literally can't stop laughing every time I see this it's great!
AVE! What became of the EDM project? Still a concept or did you and PAI put it aside?
Sold for the fun DIY-ers out there who are spunky, but will never get around to use it.
But its ok, they've told everyone they know about it. They got their use out of it.
Actually folks I was given one of these by a family member and this actually works well for undercutting door jambs to fit new hardwood or laminate flooring under it. Much faster than using a pullcut/flush cut saw.
This is most appropriately classified as a "smoke saw" because even "wood" blades on this basically abrade through the wood, which is admittedly pretty asinine.
Dr Ben Goldacre talks about homeopathy and the placebo effect (among many other subjects) in his book "Bad Science". His take on it all is funny as hell. I bought the audiobook to listen to on a long drive and loved every minute of it.
"Bad Pharma" is also a good read (or listen). In an ideal world, all doctors would be as rigorous as Goldacre is.
I thought it was quackery for about 2 decades until I found some of it that worked for me. That is why it is still out there. Works for SOME.
Yet none of it actually does anything, it's all in your mind.
You know nothing about it. Even the way you use homeopathic pillules are totally different and they align just fine with TCM methods which are now slowly being accepted into western medicine as they gain the needed scientific understanding.
No reason to be an asshat about it. Science is supposed to open minds not close them and most idiots like you who try to use the science are not even aware of it all.
I just come here for the comments to restore my faith in humanity.
My pops got one of these last Christmas from the Ma(who obviously rarely consults her son on tool purchases SIGH). I used it when they were laying tile for their kitchen remodel and it worked great for that. I'm not gonna tell anyone to go pick one up, but it's a perfectly good home gamer piece that is at least adequate for many jobs. There are for sure many better tools for a given job than these multipurpose specials, but, with care taken(I won't call it the most precise slicer; take it slow), it certainly can get the job done without emptying your wallet for a bunch of bespoke tools that you're only gonna use once.
These have there place, I'll give them that. They know their market without a doubt - and it's the home gamer market. If you need to get a one off job done, it can definitely do it in the right hands.
Boy did you nail it with the utterance of "I don't see the Point"~! I sure didn't see it either as cut off blades for my Makita angle grinder are 10 for 10$ on sale and that's for a quality blade and outside for close cuts I can do everything that this cute little toy can do and I've had my Makita all metal grinder for 50 yrs. Only all metal one that I have seen~!
I need a dictionary for these vids. I love them though
Wisconsin, my neck of the woods haha.
She ain't the best but she works and wasn't actually too bad from what I saw on build quality, I really enjoy your channel just being able to come home from work have a beer and watch someone who isn't afraid to mess things up build things or just share information while enjoying himself in the shop or a sell out seems like all my favorite TH-cam channels are sell outs now
AvE you have the best commenters, they speak your language. You and the commenters make my day!
Homeopathic blades maybe?
William Garrett the duller they are the better they cut
If you think and believe hard enough, it'll cut whatever your pea picking heart desires
The thing that you wanna cut is a chunk of tree carcass, so use a teeny weeny little paper saw, and it will do the cut!
William Garrett funnier than the whole video
Where is the box opening milling machine?
I had a Dremel Saw Max and I loved it. I used to use it for plywood and cutting thin stuff too light for a circular saw. And it didn't get pinched and kick back like a normal circular saw. But my uncle stole it years ago so it's gone now.
This guy talks like my late great uncle, fucking love it. Miss that old bastard!
Dremel made a "plunge saw" with grinder discs?
4:54 sproonge!
I got a Black & Decker 20V 'convertible' drill at Christmas awhile back. Came with a mini saw attachment, similar to that Dremel unit. Other than the fact the battery didn't like sitting for over a year unused. It has proven to be quite useful. Chineseum batts were cheap replacements.
Whenever I pull shit apart- it usually stays in pieces!
I worked at Home Depot for a couple of years... Number one thing that they stress to associates: DO NOT attempt to stop thieves . Rather, 'remind' the customer "have you paid for all of your purchases"?
Crazy Glue for the 'tears'
I know I'm two years late with my comment, but.... I had one of these. I bought it for a specific purpose. With the flush cut blades they sell for it, it fits perfectly under the toe kick (overhang) on kitchen cabinets to cut out hard wood floors. Also, with the blade recessed a 1/2", it's a "new kid" proof way to cut the bottoms of door jambs, again... For flooring. The only problem I ever had with it is that mine grew legs and walked off the job site over night!
You did it! Ee-last-ohm-er!!!
"Lifetime Grease" in the transmission of the tool. So what does it say of automobiles with "sealed transmissions" whose oil is not to be changed?
Are you guys seein' what I'm seein' ?
Not the same class of douchebaggery as you can still get the car serviced and not have to throw it out. Sealed transmissions are more of a bone thrown to the dealerships and authorized mechanics.
I have this thing and when I do stuff on laser cutter, it's perfect to trim edges of plywood/plexiglass if the sheet doesn't fit the machine. A lot more convinient than to take piece to table saw and cut it there. As far as it goes for blades, they're just fine by me, but yeah, I mostly cut stuff under 10 mm.
Ave your TH-cam channel changed my life. I quit my security job and started an assembly job, I'm now an on-site tech and thinking about getting an engineering degree
miketothe2ndpwr how’s that going?
The Dremel really is the quintessential homeopathic tool. I want to believe it will save time and effort with alll the jobs the bits and attachments claim to do but usually I just end up with shards of crap flying across the shop. Then ultimately going to the a proven, more labor intensive tool I should have used from the get go. But in my heart I still believe in the Dremel.
I use my diamond-studded dremel to infuse all my water with flakes of my amethyst power stones, it really does work well
Lye, hot plate and beakers? What kind of drugs you making?
Amphetamine, obviously.
Soap
"It tightened down quite a bit more" haha love the videao the Kootenays say thanks!
I was shuding when I was you putting the jeezles clip in with the flat head .... I seen that one coming.... oh yea, we've all been there :D
