[StartQuote] Hi there again Frank. Thanks for the diamond cutter. I *DO* have a flex-shaft for my Dremel tool. As you say, for figure work the flex-shaft is almost a necessity for any fine work. I mount the tool itself horizontally in a plastic holder designed for a regular corded drill. I too use the Dremel on a very low speed setting. I once had a sewing machine foot operated speed control I used with my previous Craftsman Dremmel tool-like machine. That machine burnt out and I replaced it with the Dremel tool but only after I gave away the foot operated speed control. Dremel make one of these and I'm thinking about getting one as it can slow the Dremel tool right down to a crawl and that gives you precise control when cutting. I also use a lot of different blades on my #11 knife as well as fine needle riffle files as I do much of my my figure carving by hand -- I find it very relaxing. Cheers from Peter "Give me a faster PT boat for I'd like to get out of harm's way!"[EndQuote]
