dremel bit questions

Post by Kris » Tue, 18 Jan 2000 04:00:00



I have noticed a striking similarity between the expensive comm
cleaners at the hobby store and my metal polishing bits for my
dremel.  The comm cleaner also has, on the other side, a rougher
polisher for the brushes.

What dremel bits can be used in place?  What RPM's should I set the
dremel at if I do it for the comm and then for the brushes?  How do I
clean the material on the bits when they quickly get black?

Also, what is a good dremel bit to drill body pin holes on the body
post?

Coolest thing I've found to do with it is create flathead screwdriver
notches to remove stripped screws. :)  But it sits a lot also.  What
other uses for rc cars are there?

Let's see where start...How about trueing tires, modifing suspension arms,
shocks, frame, clean up bodys after cutting them out, polishing hinge pins,
need I go on? Basicially your mind is the limit to what you can do with it.
I also use it for other things some non hobby also. I used it to clean spark
plugs, distributor caps, and ect.
