Get the Most out of your Dremel

Step 4 Safety

It is important to always wear the proper protective gear when operating any machinery. Glasses or safety goggles are required at all times in order to protect your precious eyes from shrapnel, amongst other things. When cutting or opening potentially harmful things, please wear rubber gloves. With some people, even battery acid can cause long term skin damage.

In any event, thanks for reading my 'Ible, and please rate +1 for the contest if you thought it was good!

Because so many of the attachments/bits come with those screws, I kept dropping them and losing them. There are a few way down deep in the floor register. After searching Lowe's and Home Depot, as well as Radio Shack and the optical stores, I learned that the #2 screw doesn't fit, that McMaster-Carr doesn't have the right screw, and that Fastenal can't even special order them. They may be available outside the US, but I work for a machine shop, and even they couldn't get any screws that fit. Perhaps we could have built some, but the cost...

I finally called Dremel, and they very kindly sent me two screws. It took two weeks and they arrived in this bubble envelope that could have held 2,000 screws. Lesson of the day: It's faster and cheaper to buy a new mandrel - it comes with a screw.
