This looks better than my rolled up magazine and diamond paste.

really ass proof and does the job

I previously owned a chinese clone of the apex which uses stones which need to be regularly flattened

however if you take the effort to learn to hand sharpen you can easily sharpen a knife on sandpaper mounted over a hard rubber surface just as well, which is what I used to do before.

3m wet/dry sandpaper is very effective at sharpening
on a knife with an undamaged edge and easy technique you can quickly sharpen a knife to hair splitting
with just 600, 800,1200

Yep sandpaper works well, if you want to reprofile or do serious repair to chips silicon carbide sandpaper is a beast at that.

Most of the new tools are Chinese made. Are they reliable. I don't want something that will break down quickly

was bored and didnt hav batteries to replace so decided to mod it with a pair of old laptop lithium

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » January 1st, 2019, 7:29 pm

How you charging them?
Lithium ion uses particular charge scheme

X_Factor · Postby **X_Factor** » January 1st, 2019, 7:58 pm

I have the charger for them...tho I have to scrap everything and unsolder to recharge

ordered the two slot battery holder so gonna mount it externally soon so access wont be an issue

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » January 1st, 2019, 7:59 pm

What charger you using?

I have jst connectors if you want

adnj · Postby **adnj** » January 1st, 2019, 8:55 pm

You can try using 4 pin connector with a pin wired to each battery terminal that mates to a jumper with small magnets soldered to each wire end. Attach that to any 2-slot LiIon charger.

Wire your toy to only two of the battery pack terminals. Use a jumper for the other two battery terminals on the toy's connector to create your 2S pack.

yep, I have a similar setup I use on my radio control lipo charger for playing with single cells

I called looking for last week and they claimed they didn't carry it. Wtf. Do they carry the accessories?

adnj · Postby **adnj** » January 2nd, 2019, 8:16 am

I have Dremel, B&D, Dewalt, and Ryobi rotary tools. They can all use the same 1/8" shaft accessories.

The Dewalt that I have (DW660?) is the best cut out tool of the lot. It comes with the cutout bits and vertical guide that usually are extra accessories for Dremel kits.

I was agreeing that they do carry Dremel tools. I've seen them... unless they sold out.
