Didn't mean to lecture you if I did, i would have just told you to search for those words and scan through the results

LoL

thanx for the link 4x, i been fighting my stock cutting disk's forever, didnt even pay attention to getting better one's, see coffee and surfing in the morning does pay off

Anything with the Dremel name on it is quality, when I bought my dremel I just got the cheapest little kit they had (around $40-$50). Alot of them come with an array of the most basic cutting discs, but you should still buy a pack of discs because you go through alot of them when you're new to the dremel (I went through ALOT). I would reccomend cutting disc #420. It's a 20 pack of basic cut-off wheels, and should be all you need to get started. I rarley use anything else, but the reinforced cut-off wheels are very nice as well (if you can afford them). Good luck on your purchase, I consider it one of the most rewarding and justified purchases I have ever made.

edit- here is from that post that was linked earlier...

You can not go wrong with a genuine Dremmel.I learned the hard way,bought some generic brand and it was JUNK.Jo

Dark, if you're new to a Dremel, I'd go with only reinforced Dremel cutting disks as ratchet quoted.

I'm not new to using a Dremel, but I'm a newbie when it comes to using a Dremel to cut metal, so I'd often find myself breaking the regular cutting disks. I picked up some reinforced ones and have yet to break a disk as they're much more forgiving. Use them until your skill improves and you gain some finesse with it; then you can use almost any disk.
