millest Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 hi folks have just purchased myself a shiny new dremel 300(0) and am looking for advice on using it. the main reasons for purchasing the dremel was removal of flash from forgeworld kits and to help with some conversion works i have planned on some kasrkin models. my main questions are what attachments or heads are best for working on resin and also what heads etc are best used on mental? can anyone post pic and item codes for these heads? also what is the best way and order in which to use the bits to remove things like heads from kasrkin and bits from other models such as yarricks storm bolter? any and all advice is greatfully recieved thanks millest Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89786-dremel-usage-and-attachment-advice-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy40k Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I use a high abrassive sanding drum for most removeal work (metal only) and use it for drilling holes for pinning. I wouldnt use it for plastics or resin though, you'll cut/melt right through the piece in a matter of seconds. -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89786-dremel-usage-and-attachment-advice-needed/#findComment-1032846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain mortis Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 when working with metal the best piece to use is a diamond headed attachment... the head on it is tiny but by christ it cleans,bores..generally gets rid of metal in second! you can also get mini saw blades for taking things like heads and arms off.. word of warning though! make sure you only use the dremel on about half speed, as one slip and the thing will whizz round the model and end up taking your fingers off.
