Carbide burrs?
- Thread starter Janger
- Start date
That is cool but no i Don't think that is strictly necessary. Ill bring my $60 rheostat so you can try it. It does the same thing but is allot safer to use. The Rheostat more portable too.
It sounds good but I think Josh @Jwest7788 should be there too. Josh can you do next weekend?

I'm going to check in to the selection of Flexovit burrs we've got at work. If I recall, made in USA. Retail price is a bit hefty but again, I almost never pay that 
Really want to see how they stand up against the competition and assess 'value' e.g. price vs performance. Is the invite open to all and if so...where/when?

Anyone who wants to come and doesn't have my address pm me and I'll get you be details. I'll get w fresh propane tank and some burgers, maybe make it a pot luck style late lunch / early dinner if you guys want. Maybe just a dinner depending how long we kill testing rotary tools and hanging out.
@kylemp you free that day? I count @Dabbler , @Jimbojones @jangar, and @Alexander
Anyone else coming?
Oh, we should plan some tests too. Bring some sacrificial stock.

Great idea Josh. I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah i can bring burgers and i have a few air tools. Lots of polishing tools to test. I would suggest everyone do a bit of home work and figure out what the cutting tools you are bringing cost. We can make some type of spreadsheet with how much it cost and how well it works.
I just got back to town last night from work and I'm not sure when I'm heading back but if I can swing it I will.
Oh I would suggest a magnet over the area and containment of some sort. Carbide burrs throw off steel slivers everywhere and my experience has taught me that if it's not controlled you'll be regretting it for months.

Good call, I like the idea.
I figure we can each bring a test of some form. Personally, I want to see how each rotary tool + burr combo, handles cutting a piece of aluminum stock in half.
Ok,
@Alexander on burgers
@Dabbler on Buns, condiments, and pop
I'll get propane, thow-away plates etc, and I have a bunch of venison, will make some venison burgers so we have the option too.
Sounds like we have a BBQ forming!

Haha, funny thing about hunters, we have to use up all our meat before next hunting season.
It's fine, you can be on (both) burger duties, I'll find some other stuff to add to the party.
