Diamonds Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I dont want to spend 50 bucks o na dremel. does anyone have one that I can borrow? Or, If you have one for sale i'd buy an old used one for 10-20 bucks if you have a spare. I just need it for 4-5 days. I need one with a cutting blade/wheel so i can cut up a bumper. Thanks!

NWill Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 You can get a generic 80pc. set from Harbor Frieght for $10. Just put a good bit on it and I'm sure you'll get 4-5 days out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We each bought the same bit and tried to race each other through a 1/8" piece of plastic. He won, I ground a divot into the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrsplat Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 if an air powered cutoff wheel would do the trick, you're welcome to swing up to the shop here and do some cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've got one I never use... Had it for years. Don't do "precision" cutting/grinding anymore. Anything I do requires at least a 3" cutting blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew2o2 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Get a real cuttoff wheel/grinding tool. If your trying to mount a intercooler it will take forever even with a air powered cutoff wheels unless you have a huge air tank. A dremel will probably take decades.

A dremel will probably take decades.I think he is only cutting plastic or fiberglass bumper. It shouldn't take him to long with either. Just remember to cut short and cut again vs cut long and look like poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what kind of super metal you cut, but I've done big cutting jobs with a pneumatic cutting tool... Good to see you bought one, they're worth just buying for the price anyway.

mustangman2011 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 yeah Harbor Freight one died in one day on me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I needed a dremel because the cuts were in a very tight spot inside the top of my front bumper. I basically had to thin out the running light recessed pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 They are great to have. Mine died on me years ago, but I've not needed anything for tight spots I cand trim with side cuts. Getting those kits with all the other bits are great to have. I always wanted to get a foot pedal to go with one, but again I don't use it much.
