Dremel Tool

[DUD]

I have had one or more of these tools for several years. My Daughter works for a Dentist when She is not in college. He gives me his old bits, when they no longer cut teeth, they will slice thru steel. I don't know if Your Dentist already has someone to re use them, but if not it doesn't hurt to ask.
BTW My Daughter last semester had a 4.0 average. Bill

I've begged broken picks from my dentist in the past to throw in my toolbox. They are very useful at times.

What an awesome idea.
If I remember right though, there is a company locally that buys back used dental instruments to clean up for third world use.

I get all the lead foil that the dental x-ray film comes in from my local dental school. I then turn it into fishing jigs and bullets.

Do you still get lead foil from them? What I mean is, they're still using film? My dentist doesn't even use film any more: now they have little panels with a USB cable on them. They stick this thing in your mouth, take an X-ray, and it immediately shows up on the computer next to the dental chair. X-ray film is going the way of the Do-do, fast.

I think you'll have to find another source of lead for your bullets.

You could also use these bits in an air grinder. Bill

It is a dental school. They will be using lead ex-ray film teaching the students for a long time to come. Great place to have your teeth cleaned if you are not in a hurry too.

I picked up a bunch of those bits on E-bay a while back. They are great to use.

Hmmmm. My brother is a dentist. I think it might be time for a check up
