How are you going to protect the bearings from outside crud with the =
middle of the knockoff missing? Just curious.

<div>Hi list,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know that I first heard of a 'Dremel' on the list years ago but only
bought one last Christmas. I've done a bunch of stuff with it and

<div>The reason I am asking is that the item I took to my only 'free hand
engraver' turned out to be a wasted journey as the engraver is off
work sick and may be for some time and I though about doing the job
myself. I don't have a very steaddddy hand but I think that what I
need doing I should be ok with. I have a knock off spinner that has
been lightened by having the centre machined out of it and I now need to
get
re-chromed. My previous experience is that the chromer will not only
strip off the remnants of old chrome but will polish it before
re-chroming. That polishing and then re-chroming will make the
'arrow'

difficult to read than I would like. So my intention was to get an
engraver to run the tool into the existing letters to get some fresh depth
to them before having the spinner polished and re-chromed. Any reason
then why I ought not to buy an engraving bit for my Dremel (not sure if
