Which Dremel disc

[davet]

I've been using a disc for cutting K-House grooves buts it's a little too wide and sloppy. I saw a paper thin diamond cutting disc. Is that what you guys use or similar?

I am also interested in hearing peoples thoughts on this. I am basically placing the axle in the axle straightening tool (you know we all have one laying around) and using a dremel work station with a cutting disk to make my K-House grooves. I am thinking of picking up a screw slot fixture. It is a bit spendy but so are the diamond cutting disk.

Thanks Boss. Looks like the one I saw here locally for about the same price. That Dremel 545 package says "Not For Use With Metal". Does it just wear down faster or could it easily crack?

That screw-slot fixture is similar to the one I made out of 4 Home Depot paint sticks. It actually worked better with a small hacksaw blade than my current Dremel disc.

Diamond disk set--$6.99 at HF:

I made a fixture with guidance from this site using two 1-inch wood pieces and use a small hobby saw or a hack saw to make the groove

I bought that but never tried them. They got lost in the shop and never resurfaced.

Ahhh, the infamous black hole. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person with that phenomenon.

I use a jig like this. Works for me.

I use these for my K-house i do it by hand. not a easy thing to do AT ALL. i found putting the axle in the pro press makes it a lot easier then pinching it in my fingers.

Looks like Harbor Freight wins. I needed a reason to get over there and look around anyways.
