    Who Knows about Dremels?

    Just lookin for basic tips on using a Dremel. What are the best bit sizes and shapes exc? What should I use to create impact craters into my Aegis Defence Line? What do other people use their Dremel for?

    I put a swizzle stick in mine and use it to mix drinks.

    While you can make shot impact craters with a Dremmel the better tool is various size drill bits and an xacto.

    If I tell you, "You're wrong," you'll need to click this.

    Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?

    The cone shaped bits work well, too.

    That is what I was thinking too. There is also a bit that just has a round ball tip.

    The ball tip engraver/cutter isn't bad. I think the cone may be better or drill and xacto.

    I would probably go with a drill bit and an exacto knife.

    Your welcome to borrow my Dremel Kingsley. I don't use it that often and there isn't anything on my desk I need it for right now.

    The thing I know most about Dremel tools is that when I need to use it the battery needs to be recharged.

    I may have been doing it wrong. I put the battery in the charger when not in use.

    I'm so old school mine has a cord. And only works when you plug in.
