Hello Darren,

You can get special heavy-duty cutting discs for your Dremel that can take a 
lot more abuse, and can cut through an amazing range of materials -- including 
very hard steel.  Unfortunately, I don't remember who makes them, but they're 
not a Dremel product.  I will find out and get back to you about it.

My absolute favorite Dremel tip is the little metal wire brush!  (the one 
that looks like a miniature version of the rotary wire brushes you find on bench 
grinders)  They don't last very long, but they sure are useful.  I, too, like 
the pointy-tapered-tip grinder.  I got one of the hardened tungsten ones, 
which is good for working on metal stuff.  The little "bullet-nosed" grinder bit 
is also very useful.

P.S. - to anyone who wants to use those wire brushes with their Dremel:  Make 
sure you always wear eye protection!  The little wires have a way of coming 
loose and shooting out right into your face -- or into your eyes, if they're 
not protected.
