(responding to "having it checked for flatness") - Feeling sorry or tossing them a bone for goodwill?

How about a hardness test, the Toymods guys just love that BS. :smile:

client wants a bare minimum cut - .001", maybe .002" if required. the flatter the surface the lower the cut......

I've heard of testing the 7M heads... I've not heard of people checking the 4A heads....


Had to order some new equipment.... my 16V spring remover/installer doesn't fit the pockets the 20V springs fit into... so....

actually quite a bit more.....

For the past 5 years I've used mostly Dremel motors(5), and flex shafts (4). I also was using a Black and Decker RTX (about 60% more amperage/torque) than the Dremel. I've used the RTX almost exclusively for that past 18 months, enjoying the torque advantage it offered.

Well, in the middle of OST-034 the RTX began to die. So it was finally time to really upgrade.....



I've purchased the 1/6 hp Foredom SRX, along with 2 handpieces, the larger of which you see in the above photo. For now I'm keeping the Dremel for finish work since it does still have a higher maximum rpm - useful in getting that nice finish.




More to come.....
