Check yourself... Chuck would knock it out in 5 seconds and spend the extra 5 beatin you down like a red headed step child for making him sound old and slow.....

i use my dremmel to do most cuts sands and edges to round

dremmels rule and have less accidents

[ReiMonCoH]

@ANCESTERSMEMORIES oh..yes yes, power tools are good. these are really more for the "dont" have power tool folks

atleast your finger looks normal. mine got a huge scar down the middle. got it frm a saw blade too. 17 stiches. pple wear the gloves.

@dionysus2008 it may look ok, but the tip has no feeling and the rest hurts like hell everytine it gets cold. And this is New Hampshire, its COLD 6 months of the year. Wear the gloves. The brother isnt preaching, its just an injury we wouldnt wish on Anybody else
