I need to cut off a rusty exhust downpipe bolt and i cant get anything in to remove it, so I was thinking about getting a dremel, but theres loads of cheap ones about are they any good or is it worth buying a proper one?

Cheers

really its the cutters that you need,

my bro has a cheap one, its great but it eats the tools.

 

dude, i bought a cheepo one from Band Q, it was crap and dont work any more

it had a stand an every thing!!!

 

got a drill? use that

 

Proper one. Have tried the cheap one and binned it.

 

i see what you did there

 

towbar rear bumper jesus - i need to get a kr head off today, think ill get my dremel on the studs for the manifold ha! wicked rubjonny! ur ace

 

haha! ans bumper brakets are cheap as chips too.... i can picture it now

 

Erm, woulnd't a nut spillter be the tool of choice here?

 

saying that im on my 3rd "real" dremel in 4 years as ive burnt out 2 hehe but they have a 2 year warranty on (i think) so they replaced it free of charge both times

my dad has a minicraft/proxxon dremel-alike and it beats the crap out of the dremel, its now 7 years old and the bearings are good as new. probly about the same price as a dremel tho so your not really saving anything.

 

My B and Q one blew up. Sparks out the vent and everything...Also **** my pants!

Got a demmel one for my birthday. Its great!

Is it me or does it take ages to cut stuff with it?

Just 1mm thick ally with a standard cut off disk takes years! Also the disks break. Flys off into 1000 bits! Am i not doing it right?

 

dont use the little grey cut off discs, get the fibre reinforced ones that are about 5cm accross

they go through anything and dont shatter you can get sets of like 200 tools cheap off ebay for about 10, theyre no different to the real ones tbh

i got one like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/216-PC-ROTARY...7QQihZ013QQcategoryZ29528QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and its fine

 

Ohh great!

Thinking about it. I had a carbon fibre disk once. It worked pretty well but i used it so much it ended up to small to use

Out of here then:



What part is the cut offs? Cant see anything that looks like it.

Cut off disks....Cut off wheel

those 3 pots with the green lids are full of cutoff discs of the grey sort

then just off center to the left is a grey circle- the top one is a diamond edged cutting disc, and underneath that are about 10 fiber reinforced ones, you can jsut make out the square pattern caused by the fibers.

 

Last time I did anything like this I used a Snap On air powered Die Grinder - much better than a Dremmel...

 

yea i can imagine a snap-on air grinder is a wicked tool

dremels are handy tho if you havent got room or need for a compressor and only need to cut one bolt off

 

the
PROXXON Drill Grinder FBS240/E
Dremel Multipro 395 VR

are both about the same price
