What tool / gig do you beleave does a faster or better job

[Ron Dickey]

I am using my Dremel to cut my doors and front curv. Then later sand edges and other small tight areas, to grind or cut off nail, or screw points sticking out, polishing small things like knobs and such.

go to http://www.dremel.com if you are out side the us, it is a world wide tool.

I do have a router but sometimes I can not see what I am doing as well.

Any Gigs that any of you uses that will help others do better cuts or other teardrop creating jobs?

Ron,
Woodworking has been a hobby and part of my lfe, since my first woodshop class at George C. Jacobs Jr. High School... 1969.
I've been doing things on this project with a router that I've never bothered to try before and I'm having a ball.
You might want to take a look at the different flush cutting bits and template guides...
This build has opened new horizons as far as stuff I've done with a router.
The Dremmel has it's palce, but it sounds like some of the things you are using it for would be better suited for a router... (IMHO)

for those wondering I am using

you may have see ads there they use this for cutting holes in dry wall where new plugs are to be put. ... it cut through 3/8 ply very well.

Ron,

I have to agree with Dean. Using a Dremel Tool for the purposes you've discussed is like cutting down a tree with a pocket knife. The Dremel is a great tool to do the things it was designed to do, but a router it's not. If you try to do those hurculean projects with it, you best not expect much life out of it.

Chris,

Thanks for the info and you may be right but I will keep using the dremel where tight or small jobs are needed the bit that this attachement uses is or is simalar to the roto zip bits use. And it does a hell of a job. Several people have cut the body walls with routers but I wonder what type of gig they used otherwise if you are not watching you may have an "ashtray" at least that is what most wrongly done projects become .....

I used my dremel to cut through a very very large nut on a screw I had to remove from the plow a couple of months ago, it was 2 inches thick and it cut it like butter. but soon we will all have lazers and we will see all those big tools as museum peaces.
