I have to agree with using the reinforced cut off wheels. I also tend to use the sanding drums a lot for shaping plastic or wood. Definitely get comfortable safety goggles, and I sometimes use a dust mask too. <br /> <br />I have the Dremel drill press, and have found it very handy. It works great for drilling circuit boards. It's very handy for tasks where uniform depth and straightness matters. I found an inexpensive foot switch that works really well lets me leave the somewhat fiddly switch on the Dremel at whatever speed I'm using at the time. <br /> <br />I also have a flex-shaft which is nice for fine work, much easier to hold in the hand, though I don't know if it works with the cordless. I used to have a MiniMite cordless and mostly used it on my dog's toenails since he was terrified of clippers and it left them smooth and short. I suggest going to www.dremel.com to look at what's available, they keep coming out with interesting new things...
