Review
Today I had a few small projects to do and set out to use vices and hand files. Three hours later I barely made a dent. Dropped everything, went to Home Depot. Bought a Dremel 300 with a 2 year extended warranty, and a few extra pieces. *Should of bought a green grind stone, but there was no hardness rating listed on the packaging.
Went home, read the instructions, and proceeded with my project. Was changing an awl bit from a Leatherman Super Tool 300 over to fit a Leatherman Charge, so my Charge would have an awl too.
Most of the folks over at MultiTool.org have machine shops and lots of room to work with. Myself I live in a trailer new and not much room, and no machine shop - until now.
The supplied grind wheel took ground down the bit, using the other as a stencil while clamped together using a Leatherman Crunch (vice grips). Swapped out for a sander bit to smooth out the bumps and finalize the fitting. Sanded down the surface with 400 grit sandpaper and used the Dremel 300's polishing wheel and compound before final fitting.
Was done in 30 minutes where it would of taken me days using hand files. Then took out a Sawsall, matched it up with a removable lanyard ring, clamped that together with the Crunch. Used the Dremel 300 fiberglass wheel to cut and fine grind the grooves and tabs. Removed the stencil, used the fiberglass wheel on low speed to finish the grooves and tabs, and fitted the saw. Took a whole five minutes to complete this second project.
Now have a portable saw that attaches to my new Leatherman Charge TTi.
Should of gotten a Dremel 300 earlier, would of been done and on to other projects.
