    Smile Love my Dremmel!!!

    The switch panel on the right hand side of the steering wheel was looking a bit worse for wear so I decided to whip up a new one.

    I grabbed a piece of 50mm aluminium strip, shaved off the corners, polished the surface and cut out some holes, all with the Dremmel.

    I think the result looks pretty good, if I do say so myself!!

    Check out the pics..

    Very handy tool, I'd like to grab one but I'm not spending a cent until 2035.

    I bet they'd work well to do a neat camel cut on a disco.

    AS Clarkie mentioned much more accurate. Also less to clean up as a very fine cut and from memory I used 3 disks too (it was nearly 10 years ago)

    Yep. But has a lot of other mini attachments such as polishing discs, sanding drums and discs, grinding stones, drill bits, diamond hones etc and you can also use a flexible extension head for getting into yight places. Dremel is the type but there are many more such as Ryobi, Bosch etc around but the Dremel is the cream of the crop, but the price goes with it (from memory a Dremel is about $110 with no accessories), the Ryobi I got was $58 with a complete accessory kit.
