So, how much should I pay, out of a very limited income, for a set
of faustner(sp?)

Forstner

bits, that I'm not going to use very much?
The dremel I have anyway, and for 10p (the cost of a disk) and 2 mins, the
bit is restored back to original condition.

Or do you mean the dremel is not a proper tool?

Indeed, I was only replying to "Dremel?", and should have snipped the
rest.

I'd have to disagree there too, for any number of tasks it excells, be it
drilling pilot holes, where the high speed and light weight mean that it's
much quicker than a normal drill, not to mention lighter.

Especially in confined spaces, or where access is awkward.

And that's without mentioning the ease with which it tackles tasks like
trimming the last half mm off a job completed with another tool.

I'm sure that it's excellent for some fiddly little jobs - I just get
a bit tired of people (no reference to yourself intended) who seem to
use Dremels for everything and claim they're the best thing since
sliced bread.
