    Sweet, Art.

    You will wonder how you did anything without it. It is the single most valuable tool in customizing IMO. Just think of all the extra time you'll have when you're able to work a resin neck plug in 45 seconds.

    Now, here's the safety speech. Always use goggles or glasses. You never know when a high-velocity piece will come flying off.

    Ah yeah, safety!

        agreed on all three counts.

        the mask especially, but watch those eyes!

        still, it's a lot of fun. one of the Most useful tools I own.

            I got one a while back and I love it! Yeah I found out about the mask glasses thing I sneezed my brains out one night hollowing out a resin neck on a superjoe. LOL

              I'm Bad ...., and should really use my glasses, I think I will from now on ... I never have to be honest...., not with a Dremel ,,.... ofcourse I do at work, with a ChopSaw, or anything that is high powered.

              A Dremel sure makes life easier ..., not sure how you can build a custom without 1.

                Congrats, the Dremel is a lot of fun and a great tool for customizing. I just got mine in May.

                I agree with the safety tips everyone suggested. Also, this may be a "duh" comment, but... those things make a mess. Little bits fly everywhere. So make sure you use it somewhere (like a workshop or a garage or whatnot) where that won't be a problem.

                  very nice! I have a small shop vac that I use when sanding. I place the nozzle nearby and turn on the vac as I work it keeps the nose clean and there's less of a clean up afterward. saftey glasses are a must!
