Okay, now what?
"Steve B" wrote in message news:WVWrf.8624$_L5.1771@fed1read06... I got a Foredom for Christmas! Botta bing! I want to use it for metals and wood. What are some good sources of burrs and other supplies that will last and won't break the bank? I have one of those 175 piece kits that costs $18 at HF, and figured I would learn on those. Steve costco has a bunch of gigantic packages, there where 150 pieaces in one set, 300 in another box... how can you decide? XMAN |

The first thing you'll learn is NOT to buy those cheap bits.G
Go to a good industrial supplier, grit your teeth and buy some good quality carbides and abrasive disks. After the sticker shock wears off, look in a mirror and note the smile on your face when you use them. Bugs |
