So, the cut off wheels did the job? Good to know. I've found Dremel cut off
wheels to be handy for many tasks, like this.

Just keep in mind there are (2) different kinds of cutoff whiles that
fit the dremel tools.

They both have their place and it depends on your skill at doing fine
work.

What is the place for the incredibly fragile and break at a blink
wheels?

String cutting? As long as you dont put it down roughly?

How about if you want to cut an eggshell in half -- cleanly.
You obviously need some soft but steady support for the eggshell, and a
way to minimize shaking of your hand if you are hand holding the Dremel,
but with soft wrist support, and working seated at a workbench, you
should have enough control to do a clean job on the eggshell. Now the
remaining question is *why* do you want to cut an eggshell -- and that
is going to be your problem, but if I ever need to do that, I have the
tools. (Ideally, the flexible shaft version of the Dremel -- or even
better a Foredom drive and shaft, and an extra flexible handpiece to go
with it. (I use that for tuning concertina reeds among other things,
but with wheels about 1/8" thick or so. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.

Ive got about 3 Dremels,a very GOOD Ryobi in the truck, and 2 Foredoms
with flex shafts, plus a crappy B&D with flex shaft along with some
other ones I cant think of at the moment.
Ive got one my Dad bought in 1952, though I need to replace the cord one
of these days.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
