New addition to my soon to be new garage
#1
Well today I invested in my soon to be office. Smile I bought a 10 speed Dremel and a super accessory kit with 145 accessories :allrighty: I have never used a Dremel before but will get plenty of use out of it, as I will use it to strip the exo. I almost bought an angle grinder and a bunch of accessories for that, but that will come on the 1st lol Shop Vac too. Any suggestions on a shop vac?

I found that the ShopVac brand 4.5 horse wet dry vac can take a beating.

I was looking at the shop vacs at Walmart. Not sure if I need a small one or a big one. I guess bigger is better, but if I dont need it, its a waste.

4.5" Angle Grinder and some flapper wheels is all you'll need, especially if you have it removed...It will take you days with a Dremel.

Craftsman make some nice wet/dry vacs at Sears. My budy had one with a suck & blower motor, so he could blow out his garage. Lazy but smart:bad: Good Vac though.:allrighty:

Just remember Dave that every time you sand on the exo you remove material. Thinner=weaker. Lighter yes, but weaker. If you go with the 4.5"-5" angle grinder, go with a wire wheel instead of sanders. That paint will fly off of those bars. Just make sure to wear glasseseses...

I might have to pick up one too, as long as they have the 4" hose. Cool
