---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Wim, all, I did see the Dremel saw blades yesterday at Lowes. But it appears to=20= be designed to be used only in conjunction with their new saw blade=20 attachment ($30), which has a safety guard. (the saw blade has a=20 larger hole which won't fit with the standard shank) And the safety=20 guard appears to be unremoveable from the attachment. Cuts can only be=20= made 1/4" deep due to the design of the guard. BTW, this design change also affects a method for repairing violin bows=20= which are broken off near the tip. Using this saw blade on a drill=20 press was one of the neatest methods for reinforcing that repair. Just following up.
