Three things can happen very very fast with Dremel
The first is the obvious one, of catching the edge with the wheel going in the wrong direction.. I know we say it a 1000 times, but hey it still happens and damn it happens so fast....
The second is the Dremel "Spin and Snap" This is where the wheel is going correctly but the Spine catches and the Dremel spins around the back of the entire razor, and SNAP bye bye blade...
Third is the edge of the wheel catch, that drives the chuck into the edge of the blade..
All of these happen in a split secod...
They can be pretty much avoided by just using a smoothly sanded piece of wood (oh you can make the magnetic holder also) just rest the edge against the wood at a slight angle and keep it there the entire time the wheel is near the razor this will eliminated or at least greatly reduce Dremel risk.... About 6 in by 12 inches should do the trick sand it smooth or you waste felt wheels...
There is my Dremel tip of the Year !! :)
