prophet118 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 hahah... ive got a dremel, but its RPM's are way to high to be useable for pewter minis... i tried using mine to cut the base off of something, it started to melt the mini..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to see this thing put together thanks for taking the time to take pictures and showing us all A good dremel to get is the 400 xp pro I believe is the number.. you can find it on micro marks site.. or at a hardware store.. just remmeber the number 400 and you will get the right one.. the XP pro part I might be remembering wrong though.. (there is only one 400 numbered dremel tool :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital [email protected] Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I use a ban saw for cutting bases off. I get a bit nervous on some minis as my have gets very close to the blade. But the saw cuts through the bases like butter. Bought the saw from a garage sale for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
