RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] PCB Routing - Dremel

To all the engravers and PCB routers out there,

Have you ever checked out www.harborfreight.com? They sell a cut out tool
similar to Dremel and RotoZip. The tool is 28000 RPM with Ball bearings in
the spindle. It has a nice round boss for mounting, 1/8 and 1/4 collets and
should work great for the money. They have a sale on them now for 19.99
each, normally 39.99. Go to the website and do a search for item number
42831 and check it out. I am not affiliated in any way but I own two for
wood projects and drywall cutouts when doing the "honey do list". It might
work well for your needs :-). I'd rather be cutting metal on my Bridgeport.


Best,

Ed Gilbert
