Sorry to get off the subject of this thread but I don't wanna start another thread to ask this simple question:
What exactly are these for? They say they are for Dremel but do they just cut circles like a drill or do they cut like a rotary cutting disk [link=http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=5796]SUCH AS THIS ONE[/link]?
I don’t wanna waste money on them if they do the same type of work as the rotary disk cutter. If they do the same but are better than the disks I will buy them. I hate it when the sites don't give details, so any you could share would be great.

Is this a good deal or can it be gotten cheaper elsewhere?

Are any of the accessories included in this pack used for cutting or will I need separate accessories such as the ones shown above? This would be the first Dremel I get so I don’t know what tools to get for it? Please advise me on accessories that I will need with the Dremel and possibly a link to show me what they are.
Thank you.
OK, the first (cutoff wheel) is used for just that. Cutting things off such as music wire, nails, cutting slots into stripped screw heads, etc. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using these wheels because when they disintegrate the fragments fly everywhere including into your eyes.
The next three are special shaped cutters for cutting/milling areas. They are basically good only on wood or soft metals. Not in same class as roatry disc cutter. Neither will do the job the other will do. DIFFERENT tools.
As for the KIT, don't know exactly what it includes. Find out and shop around even at Wal-Mart and Sears. Sometimes they can save you money.
