[sdiy] Dremel attachment for cutting epoxy/fibreglass boards

[harrybissell at wowway.com]

They make tiny circular saw blades for Dremel tools, the ones I recommend
have a fixed arbor and are made of a blue color spring steel with cheap
formed teeth.  You will ruin the blade very quickly, its not a good solution
for long term use.  I would not recommend the more expensive silver color
blade with the removable arbor. Too much money to waste...
