Was reading the new Woodcarvers Illustrated and saw this article. A great resource explaining the uses of all the different power carving bits. Check out the new issue it also has a great review of the Dremel Multi-Max.

Good article. Thanks.

I'm liking my Multi Max so far. For detail sanding it's more agile than the B&D Mouse - except that it doesn't have the smaller detail heads like the mouse. Sill, I've found it handier and I bet it's going to last longer too.

The saw attachment has been pretty handy for removing larger chunks of wood and making cuts across the grain. One drawback is the sandpaper is the velcro kind like the Mouse but more expensive. However, I'm betting you can cut other brands of "hook and loop" sandpaper to fit. Incidentally, when did velcro become "hook and loop"?! :roll:

The detail sanding head.
