It's for porting my head so don't think a dremel will be up to the job. Cheers anyway!


Re: Anyone help me? - samass - 04-03-2012

yeah thats what i thought it was for, as said, my mate used one for the head on his motorbike, up to you tho. feel free to borrow it to try if you like, mines pretty top notch so is fairly powerful

What size collet is on it?


Re: Anyone help me? - samass - 04-03-2012

got a multi chuck on it, up to bout 2mm or something i think, can't find my verniers to check 100%.
got shitloads of attachments tho, loads of sanding barrels with really coarse grit ones, they can chew through pretty much anything

I'll get back to ya on that one. Need to see if I can get the right bits in 2mm then because so far I've only found them in 6 and 8mm. Cheers!


Re: Anyone help me? - samass - 04-03-2012

fair nuff man, just let me know!
what bits is it you need?


Re: Anyone help me? - Dum-Dum - 04-03-2012

Ive got a dremmel (well halfords equivalent) and it definately wont be up to the job but you can borrow if you need.

Wasn't going to. Would be a right PITA using a drill! I might just go and buy one but it's like 90 quid and then I will probably never use it again haha


Re: Anyone help me? - Niall - 04-03-2012

Never mind. Just won a 110v one on eBay for 30 quid. Bit of luck my neighbour is a electrician one side and a builder the other. Need a transformer now!


Re: Anyone help me? - samass - 04-03-2012

I'd say bargain, but I really have no clue haha

Well most of them I was finding were 80 upwards so yeah Smile


Re: Anyone help me? - samass - 04-03-2012

In that case, bargain!
