Thinking of getting power tools

[doctorwayne]

I have a single-speed Dremel (originally a chainsaw sharpening tool) which I use almost exclusively with a cut-off disc, probably my most-used power tool and accessory. I also have a similar tool, slightly larger and with variable speed and a flexible shaft which I use occasionally for drilling when working with metal. It won't, however, hold bits smaller than #72. For those, I put the bit in a pin vise, then chuck that in my 3/8" drill. Again, this is only when working with metal, and usually only with the larger drill sizes. If the metal is brass and/or is fairly thin (.060" or less) I generally prefer to use a pin vise.
Most of what I do is probably better suited to hand tools.
