Are they going to charge the guy for the blade cost? Likely to be
disposed of as a biological hazard now, despite the thin metal foil used to prevent contact... |

Actually since things can get pretty warm at Dremel or even Multimaster cutting speeds a bit of card or plastic might have been better than metal foil, unless they also flooded with coolant. |

NHS aren't made of money. :-) Actually both the Fein & the Bosch are very similar to the machines used to remove plaster casts. The oscillating action only works on hard surfaces. On soft surfaces like skin they dont cut, they simply move the skin from side to side. As I accidentally confirmed today when the tile cutting blade on my Bosch contacted my hand.

On soft surfaces like skin they dont cut, they simply move the skin from side to side. Similar mechanisms are used for bone saws.. e.g. when bisecting a sternum to get into the chest cavity. Less chance of chopping through something important when the heart or surrounding membrane gets stuck to the back of the breast bone, which is quite common if previous surgery has taken place apparently. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Yes and it works an absolute treat as long as you can stop the pipe from moving. If the pipe isn't held rigidly the blade will just move it from side to side. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
