    Does anyone know where in the UK I can buy cut-off wheels for my dremel? I have checked a couple of places locally and on Ebay - the only thing I can find is full accessory kits. I just need cut-off wheels, not all the other accessories. Thanks for the help!!

    What are you gonna be cutting?

    They might be more expensive... but if you're gonna be cutting thick metal... Diamond Wheels are worth paying extra for IME :idea:

    They don't need renewing so often, so actually work out cheaper in the long run ;)

    I have been told that the cutting wheels on the Dremel are quite brittle (even under ideal conditions) but the cutting wheels you get from either Lidel or Aldi (can't remember which) are actually much better quality at a consdierably lower price. The only problem is that they are part of a kit and they don't get them in very often. But even as a kit they are apparantly ridiciously cheap, as soon as I get a set I'll let you know what I think of them.

    I'd only use B&Q as a source of Dremel bits if I was really desperate, I've found lots of websites that are much cheaper as long as you can wait for the post - bit of an issue at the moment with the postal strike.
