Dremel Rotary 11-Piece Cutting Accessories Micro Kit, EZ728-01

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit contains 7 different attachments (423E-EX Lock Cloth Polishing Wheel, 421-Polishing Compound, EZ471SA-EZLock Detail Abrasive Brush, EZ472SA-EZ Lock Abrasive Brush, 512E-EZ Lock Finishing Abrasive Buff, 511E-EZ Lock Finishing Abrasive Buff, and EZ402 EZ Lock Mandrel). I normally do not do much with regard to finishing and polishing, but found the tools easy to use. Used the Polishing Compound with felt polishing tools. I will now do more of the finishing and polishing. I used the Detail Abrasive Brushes for sanding contours in a sample fluted table leg and was pleasently surprised at how easy it was. I used the Abrasive Buff to remove paint from some garden baskets. It also worked nicely.

All in all this is a very handy kit to have if you're doing any number of projects around the house or in the shop. The EZ Lock Mandrel (EZ402) was introduced relatively recently in comparison to the original mandrel familiar to long time users of Dremel tools; it is a big upgrade in terms of safety and ease of use. Switching between the EZ Lock accessories is quick and easy; once attached to the 402 mandrel there is a secure, positive attachment to the mandrel that won't loosen with heavy use or vibration. While there was a new 402 mandrel for this review, I have had one ssince it first appeared in my local home improvement store which has yet to fail on me after pretty heavy use over the years in a number of projects ranging from a tiling job to almost daily use in my workshop. The 476 Plastic Cutting Wheel was used to trim several pieces of 4 inch foam core Schedule 40 PVC pipe; some Schedule 40 2 inch PVC pipe; and some .030 polystyrene. The wheel was able to handle all three tasks with no problems or issues. Adjust your RPMs depending on the thickness to avoid damaging the material. Too high an RPM with plastic can cause the material to melt which can coat the attachment, reducing its' service life and potentially damaging the project you're working on. A rule of thumb is to listen to the motor, don't force the attachment into the material; let the tool/attachment do the work and increase the RPMs if necessary, but never under a load and never exceed 35,000 RPM. Your work should always be secured for safety and best results. An opportunity to test the metal cut off wheel presented itself when I needed to shorten a length of chain for a light fixture; I also used it on the hasp of an old lock whose key vanished into the Twilight Zone long ago and had been languishing in a junk drawer with no useful purpose. This wheel was able to to handle both tasks easily, but they're not intended for cutting high security lock hasps or thick hardware. Always err on the side of caution, take your time when cutting metal, and avoid trying to cut metal thicker than 1/2 the diameter of the wheel. The Thin Cut attachment worked properly, it held up well. The kerf was suitably thin in comparison to the other attachments which results in less wasted/lost material (thin kerf = less clean up, too). For your money you get excellent value, useful attachments that perform well in a sturdy compact case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When nothing else works I always go to my Dremel! It's great for cutting old bolts, for getting into corners, works great in tight spots. It's the do all, be all tool and these accessories are great for a variety of different things when it comes to renovating and remodeling as well as general maintenance and installation work. Love the lock in place feature for these accessories.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had limited time to use this cutting tool but it has worked extremely well on light metal and clean cut on wood.my wife bought me a new 4300 Dremel with several attachments. Yahoo’s ! I love the new loch system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great set! And they work really well! Have found them to be very handy for cutting metal and plastic. And I've just started working with stone, and these make it easy to cut stone too. Super fast and easy to change them out and I love the ez lock.
