I too remember seeing the 'Golden Arches' with the banner saying 'OVER ONE MILLION SOLD'!

I remember when macdonalds had car hop service,burgers were 15 cents.

To get sorta back on to the tools track, these straight line power tools are great for blades and some scales work:

There is a Dremel equivalent. Both on the 'bay occasionally and at Hock Shops. About $20-$45
Just think, you get to make scratches along the length to offset all the scratches from rotary tools. So the grind lines disappear more quickly.
You can wrap regular papers and films around the contoured shapes that clamp into the tools.
Have fun!

Thanks to your recent advice Richard, I got mine!



Like you said, you can use the concave attachments on blades but you can also use the convex attachments for rounding scales.

Thanks my friend, who makes those? Porter Cable

Dremel makes 'em Roy. Look on the bay, they pop up. I had a new one but it had less attachments so I bought the one I have now & sold the other one for more than I paid. The one I ended up with is almost new. They don't make 'em anymore. I'm sure someone else makes 'em too. Type in Dremel model 6000.

Is that variable speed? love the profile options on the sanding pads..
Needs me gots to get me one..;-)

Some are and some are not, read the ad blurb online carefully.

By the way, if you have a Harbor Freight router cord type inline speed control, they work with most any brush type universal motor.
