Mini power tools (such as those made by Dremel) are some of the most versatile tools a hobbyist or do-it-yourselfer can own. When equipped with the appropriate bit or tool, they can be used to cut or shape almost any substance with a great deal of accuracy and safety. Taylor and Bullock provide a wealth of information about using the mini power tool, either by itself or with accessories that turn it into a miniature router, drill press, or saw. Numerous techniques are described, all illustrated with excellent color photos. This is the first book written exclusively for this tool, and readers will be surprised at the many uses. Since it can be used for many different hobbies, it is recommended for all public libraries.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
