Once again my Dremmel comes to the rescue. Years ago before my firstproject, I asked a friend if he had a Dremmel, and if he liked it ( hewas not a builder). Said he got one for a gift, and never seemed tofind a use for it. Good I didn't listen to him. It's got to be one of the three most useful tools in the shop. Doesn'tdo large jobs, only the ones that you can't figgure out how to do , orthe space is too small. Routed in the elevator hinges flush with the router attachment. and toroute in flush gussets. A real pro job. Not a big outlay that will break the bank. Around Xmas, you can gettool, case, and flex shaft for around $75.00.A real Keeper.waltOnce again my Dremmel comes to therescue.Years ago before my first project, I asked a friend if he had a Dremmel,and ifhe liked it ( he was not a builder).

A real Keeper. walt> Even cheaper than the Dremel is a good die grinder. They generally arepneumatic, so if you have a compressor you're all set. They are also a bitheavier than the Dremels and tend to compliment thenm in the shop. I haveboth and use them for different things on the plane.
