    Dremel tried to kill me!

    Ok well, firstly my dad got a new dremel for chistmas, so i thought to myself, "Im going to use this to cut open my presents", so i got it all set up, put a cutting wheel in, and went to a plastic case... Halfway through the wheel decided to shatter, it sliced my wrist, another chunk hit me in the neck and another chunk managed to burn a nice neat moon into my arm, so i have one of those fancy new tattoo's that are raised... Word of advice... Dremels are not made for cutting cardboard/plastic... Do not use the diabolical tool that is a dremel without saftey goggles and a full length anti-everything protective suit.

        I try to use good disks. The fiber type hold up well. I have had the cheap kind come apart before(the kind that comes with a Dremel) You dont have time to duck.

              The only wheel I use in my dremel is a 3/4" steel sawblade. Those things kick ass!

                The disks will easily shatter if you flex them too much. Especially when turning at 30k rpm!

                  After placing a report with the state police, Dremel Inc has been charged with attempted 3rd degree murder. Facing a panel of 3 judges, the CEO will go up for the death penalty sometime in the next 20 years, unless he starts appealing...

                  lol that was pretty damn funny!

                    I had a wheel shatter while cutting plastic and pieces of the wheel stuck into my forehead and put a gouge in my glasses.

                      I say throw away all those shitty non-reinforced cut-off wheels. They are WAY too dangerous. Go and buy the fiber reinforced ones. I have destroyed those but never had one shatter. They are much safer and last a hell of alot longer.
