cutting wheel question

[angry gary]

i went to home depot and lowes this past weekend and could not find the cutting wheel attachment for dremels. i asked and all they kept pointing to was the boring bit not a cutting wheel. is the one i have seen a dremel brand? and where do you find them? bob, chris??

diamond saw blade, 1" I think, usually they're there somewhere, should be about $10-14

here you go, pretty much either lowe's or home depot would have it in the dremel attachments section

I think a dremel may be in my future. Check out these bits.

yes that is it. Diamond wheel. It's in it's own package, one per package, it is about 15 bucks. Usally in with all the other dremel bits. I have gotten them both at lowes and HD.

dang, i am going to have to get them!!! Alot cheaper, i wonder is the quality is poor? they do get dull quickly.

Rocko,

No dremel here, but I bet if you post a group buy ( WAMAS) you may get a better price.

Those diamond wheels are nice. I got the Dremel one from Home Depot. Too impatient to order from the China importers.

I got mine dirt cheap at Harbor Freight!

 

[rocko918]

oh harbor freight, forgot about that place. There is a harbor freight store here. Will have to stop in.

Also i have not found them at walmart, the diamond bits, i have looked there many times.

I have used both the Dremel and the Harbor Freight cutting wheels and they are no different, except the HF ones are way cheaper, even cheaper than EBay when they go on sale

you don't really need the diamond wheel. but dont get those cheap graphite (or whatever they are) wheels either, ya know the ones that come with 25 in a package.

the disc i use is black, and has threads cross stiched through the disc. very strong, yet alot cheaper than a diamond wheel. i looked on lowes' webpage, and think they may be the fiberglass wheels. not sure, i'll have to look when i get home.

twon8 has a cheap little diamond wet saw. the thing is awesome for cutting a huge LPS or SPS monti colony in have, anything that is encrusted into a huge rock. maybe he can show a pic.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Yep, the fiberglass reinforced abrasive wheels. Those are pretty strong.

I do like the diamond wheel for the thin kerf it makes. Generates a little less heat compared to the abrasive wheels too.

The diamond wet saws for tile are nice. This one is a bit over $80 from Home Depot. Picked one up this year.

I picked up this cheap one a while ago to do a couple tile projects around the house...I am guessing with a diamond blade it would be a great deal...
