A very well-made practical guide that deals with attachments for rotary tools for jewelers' work.

Also very valuable for camera repairers, some of whom work with similar materials.

Despite the dense amount of information, the illustrated book remains compact and is a pleasure to read.

Thanks for the information. I'm working on a little project. Beseler Negatrans 120 negative carrier. I'm going to sneak into my wife's studio and use her Foredom tool. Hopefully I will find a small bit for sanding.

Negatrans takes rolls of processed film, transports and positions each negative in that "window" for printing.

One level up from Foredom is a 1/4" Die Grinder. My Makita is about $150 now. !/4" Carbide bits are inexpensive, lots of shapes and longer lasting than most of the Dremel bits. Not a replacement for Foredom but larger/more power. You can carve steel without a big investment.
