    Default Dremel "Like" advice

    Hi Guys

    Been polishing and de-rusting by hand all week,and apart from sore fingures dont seem to be getting anywhere.

    I know most posts advise Dremel...but I really do not want to spend a lot of money on tools..YET...been trawling about and found this...cheap and seems to be reasonably spec'd http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7106581/Trail/C$cip%3D36581.DIY,+garden+and+car%3EC$cip%3D36666. DIY+power+tools%3EC$cip%3D36667.Multi+purpose+powe r+tools.htm

    Dont really know about the Telescopic stand and table clamp bit....what u think guys....all it is for polishing and BASIC work

    It should do the work that a dremel does. There still really is no easy way of doing restoration. It takes a lot of time and work. I only use a dremel for buffing. All sanding is still done by hand. Also be very careful when using a dremel ( rotary tool ) on a razor. Make sure you know which way the disk is rotating so you don't snag the edge. Also I would suggest practicing on a junk razor first.

    And above all else make sure you are wearing GOOD eye protection with the dremmel. If by chance you snag the edge it will break off and fly out into the universe but before disappearing it will head straight for your eyes.
