I am sooooooo glad I listened to Phil!
Butting was easy, drilling... erm...
Never took the Dremmel above 2 while drilling out the hands on 48 🧀 Swiss 🧀 pikes before the night failed.  I can see how you injure yourself with that! Wow! 
I think about 20 survived okay! Changed to a smaller drill bit helped.   

Will......Don't worry.

I would say that I'm fairly proficient with a Dremmel.......And I make c*ck ups between 10 & 20 % of the time....trying to do, what I know what you're attempting .

Just takes practice, Matey..

I'm sure they'll be fine.

Cheers - Phil

Last 48 drilled assembled and all undercoated.
Couple of interesting misdrills where the bit has made anatomically correct orifices or Swiss 🧀 🧀 cheese holes!

Wait until a tiny portion of the bit snaps off, and stays in the model !

Then you'll say naughty words. 

Cheers - Phil

Dave broke a bit with his Dremel the other day, which pinged across the unit and hit me while I was emptying the van...

Yoiks!

I hope you are all wearing safety goggles at work now, we want no nasty eye injuries

And a new set of skills added to my Dremmel usage today.
Cutting disc (I even risked speed 3), and sanding tube-thingy-ma-jig used for the first time on some of Leon's flying base rods!

It were FUN!

Will.

Please tell me you were using a carborunderumderumderumderum disc and not one of the mini metal circular saws.

I won't ever use those....especially with my penchant for slicing into my own digits.

But.....Dremmels are damn useful, aren't they. 

Cheers - Phil

It was one of the grey discs more like a paper sanding disc but only on the edges, not one of the nastytoothed ones!

Only on the edges ?
Don't know that type, Will.
I just use the carborundum discs until they either get too small to be of any use...... or snap when I'm careless

Cheers - Phil

So most snap, from someone who wont use a Deremel, I slice me when I'm supposed to be slicing onions.

Join the club, Ian !!

Bit late to this and I don't know if you have one ML but getting the flexi shaft   that fits into the chuck helped no end with control for me
