I have a Dremel Kit and am ready to start my long awaited hobby. But, I don't have a water fountain set up to cool the bits. I've read that it is called 'coldworking'.
Does this keep the bits from wearing out faster? If so, does anyone know how to set up a fountain? I have the water pump, but don't know how to set up, plus don't know where to get a tray to hold project, and something to hold the hose, where the water comes out, to run over the project.
Can anyone help me out here? Sure would appreciate it!

Hi Dustyrose
Welcome to the forum 
Using electrical tools around water can be dangerous.
Unless you are working glass, there isn't much reason to resort to a water fountain to cool the bits. Even then the water is to keep the glass cool and keep it from shattering and not for the bits. To keep them from becoming to hot all that is needed are the breaks you take to keep the Dremel motor from over heating.
When working metal, I use Eurotool Cut Lube to lubricate the bits. You can get this at:
