A Dremel tool set is like jig tying can never kick the habit!!When you think you have evey bit they have another one show's up!! Have the Cordless now!! When they made this tool they were thinking of me!!! JB Weld and Blue magic epoxy putty!!
I have an extensive bit collection. My sources are Hobby Lobby, Harbour Freight and Widget Supply.Dremel Guides, Grips, Flex-Shafts, and Attachments Harbour has a very good bit set cheap. My best source has been my dentist. I trade them some crappie for used bits. Have gotten some very neat bits from them. They gave me a jar one day with over 200 bits. I have 4 different dremels and 2 off brands and I mostly use an old corded 2 speed dremel that I rebuilt. I use propoxy for filler and shaping. Easy to use and can get it at a plumber supply house.

Had a guy order 600 1/32 with a 1/0 hook. Took a chisel and hammer and chiseled the top of the cavity used for heating the mold. Now the mold will accept any size hook and no effect on other hooks.....took about 3 minutes at the most.
I like the old ones without the warming chamber -
More than one way to skin a mold. Haven't seen any new molds with the warming chamber and I am glad.
I guess I am so new to this don't know what's a warming chamber lol.
Bottom of bottom pic is a warming chamber. Looks like a big pencilsinker. Used to preheat a mold. Pic is by Fatman on another post.

Gotcha, thanks. I usually just put mine on top of the pot while its heating.
Very seldom use the warming chamber ......hot lead will flow.....
