The Way I View EZ Lock

Carbide_Cutter — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:20:39 GMT

Don't take offense, I don't want to be rude.

The way i see this EZ lock system: It's the biggest scam in tool maker history. EZ Lock was developed mainly for cutting wheels and we all know how long those are made to last- 1 foot of cutting per wheel at $1 a wheel, isn't cheap. How can Dremel rip of the consumer even more? Make them buy a $10 EZ Mandel that fits $2 a piece wheels!- still only cutting at 1 foot for wheel. But now consumers can switch the used wheels faster, meaning they will use more wheels, and throw away even more money!

Come on it's the 21st century, Dremel can make this wheels last longer if they wanted to.

225-01 Flex Shaft Attachment

asicstri — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 03:03:50 GMT

I have the 225-T1 Flex Shaft Attachment for a over ten years and I never actually used it. Just worked out that way. The dremel I had at the time is long gone as well as the piece of **** cordless I bought after that but I did go and buy the 400 xpr model and it works great. Only problem is I could actually use the flex shaft on what I am doing now but it doesn't work on this dremel. I know there is a square (in the center) collet nut that drives the shaft through the flex shaft. I don't have the square collet but the part that threads onto the dremel itself seems a bit deep to connect into the collet.

don't ask any questions at osh they are plain ......
Lowe's not much help there either
Home Depot depends on who's working or if anyone's working.

Any imput would be appreciated.

A New EZ Lock Accessory that deserves a comment

Dremyfan — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:20:02 GMT

Hi Dremel folks and friends!

I just wanted to mention an aptitude test that was done in the local premises of Robert Bosch Argentina - Dremel related to the new EZ 545 EZ Lock 1-1/2" Diamond Wheel and I wish to share with you.

They emptied and egg in the regular way perforating a hole at each end of the largest axis and later on divided the s**** in two cutting it out with above mentioned 545 EZ Diamond. Result was a perfect clean cut of the undamaged eggs**** in two neat halves.

I hope this helps so many in the forum looking for the proper accessory for their enjoying dremelife.:P

USING CUTOFF WHEELS ON STAINLESS STEEL

notacks — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 09:56:15 GMT

Ive always used a sawzall for cutting stainless steel bolts..But I had a situation recently where I had to cut out the pads under my engine mounts in my boat to replace the waterlogged wood underneath..

After using the cutoff wheel on the fiberglass,I looked to the rear of the boat and there was 6 stainless steel bolts sticking out of the transom that hold the swim platform on..These would be very hard to cut off with a sawzall because I could damage the fiberglass inside the boat...Well I gotta say that my new dremel tool not only cut those bolts in 1/8 of the time it takes a sawzall,It also left a nice clean cut and no damage to any fiberglass..I honestly dont know why I havent bought one of these years ago...HOO-RAH DREMEL...

Using EZ Lock Diamond Wheel

RobinHill — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 10:20:31 GMT

I want to cut ~1/2 X 1" slabs from stone using this wheel but have several questions.

Normally water is used with diamond saws. Can water be used with this? Want to immerse wheel in pan of water and use bottom of pan to guide stone to get parallel cut.

I imagine this will be very messy.

Will this hurt the EZ lock shaft????

What speed range should be used with this wheel? Description says not to go over 20000, but this doesnt agree with the speed guide.
