Dremel 565 Multipurpose Cutting Kit, 3 Bits, Bulk: Widget Supply

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm wondering how well this would work for cutting scales.


Right now i am doing everything by hand.

Nice Dremel! Did you buy it?

I have seen someone post that those are not very accurate. I can't remember the post or thread also one persons opinion does not mean much but thought I'd share.
I think you can buy those @ Lowe's and/or Home depot, may be they will let you try one?

I just using a coping saw. It does the needful

I cut my scales with a coping saw too, but for what its worth here amazon reviews:

I've got one of these:

Dremel 670-01 Mini Saw Attachment: Widget Supply

It works well once you get the hang of it, but its scary. Its somewhat jumpy and could cut your finger in half (or mostly off) in a quarter second. Not so scary that I still use a coping saw, though. I've got a pedal rheostat for my dremel and that helps. The saw wont just keep running.

I've never had good luck with those spiral blades on anything other than very soft materials. They are fantastic for drywall.

But... I have never seen drywall scales.

EDIT: I see they make different spiral blades; it's possible I haven't been using the right ones.

Do not, repeat, DO NOT use that attachment for cutting razor scales. That attachment and those spiral bits are not designed for that purpose, you will have no control and it will be all over the place. At best it will only contribute to wasted scale material. At worst you might hurt yourself using that attachment for this purpose.
