"I thought that they would be a good purchase because they are so much less expensive than the Dremel brand (way overpriced) but they are not."
"This item is very danger, because in high revolution or more or less hot the band break and may cause injuries."
"I bought this for use with my Dremel for pedicures."
"In the end it's worth spending the extra money rather than buying a bunch of crappy ones just to throw them out."
"I Dremel on a soft resin material that is softer than wood and sands very easily. Compared to a soft wood like pine, it is softer and easier to grind and sand."
"these mandrels are not what I expected and do not recommend them to anyone...buy OEM not cheap made in China junk."
"This same product that is made by other companies have lasted much longer with much rougher use than I put these through."

"The EZ lock system is Dremel's best invention since the original Dremel."
"It eliminates the thread-on style, lets you twist on any accessory that has the matching hub."
"My dremel is pretty old & I was looking for something that would cut better than the regular cutting wheels."
"I have 6 dremel tools, with most Dermel accessories made.. Easy accessory changes, with a wide range of cutting, sanding, polishing, and buffing wheels available."
"Who ever came up with these should win an award."
"Unfortunately they are expensive compared to the older rigid disks, but sometimes you get what you pay for."
"I've bought 2 of these and with both of them, the spring mechanism that holds the wheels in place ends up breaking so that it hangs loose and can't hold them in place."
The arbor end of the shank accepts a cutoff wheel, and the screw portion of the mandrel threads into the shank, securing the wheel to the mandrel.

"Rest it against whatever is handy and advance to contact the stone, pause, then advance again."
"The face is coated with sharp small diamonds that turn the grinding wheel surface to dust upon contact."
"This tool works as intended."
"But I've dressed 2 different types of grinding wheels since I got it, and I must say, it's a very nice dresser for the price!"
"Wide enough to true the entire surface of most wheels in one position, eliminating the need for a jig that maintains true perpendicular to the wheel (though I still prefer to do so to vary the surface contact)."
"The extra length and durable metal body squares up a grinding wheel quickly and prolongs your grinding wheel's life."
"In principle, it works well."

"Polished my cut granite to almost match factory, probably would have if I had a little more experience using this."
"they fit the grinder exactly as stated, but created so much vibration that I had to get a heavier grinder in order to be able to use them for more than a few minutes at a time."
"Not something I plan to use much but just like everything else once you have something you start finding uses for them."
"I bought these to polish a concrete and glass countertop I made and these pads worked great."
"I used these to polish a concrete counter top and they worked great."
"They don't sit perfectly flat, and tend to leave some streaks where the pad makes more contact (towards the center)."
"We have used these to install our granite countertops in our kitchen."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I run an old Husky 7" x 36" lathe, after fitting the new t- slot I set my 3/8" tool on center found there was still about 3/16" I could lower the holder."
"Although this AXA QC tool post set is made in China it far exceeded My expectations for this price range."
"Love this tool change system."
"I had to adapt it to fit my little 8" lathe with a little machine work."
"For those who might be interested in this quick change, I am using mine on a south bend 9" lathe. Rather than mill the piece of metal that came with it into a T nut to fit my lathe I simply bought one on Ebay."
"Coming from China I wasn't expecting quality..."
"For the money, you can't go wrong. Be aware that the parting tool holder is not machined to accept a tapered parting tool properly."
"With a modification of my Smithy ( I had to mill the deck of the cross feed to drop tooling to desired cutting height."
