Yeah I just got it. Has bits down to 0.3mm. I mean TINY! Now I don't have to hand hold my Dremel bits. And it only cost me $7 USD. Cheap! It comes with two double-headed chucks built into the handle. I got bits from 0.3mm to 2mm. About 30 bits in all. Not bad for $7. Thank you very much, China. Hopefully the 5yo child who made them got to go home early on her 18 hour work shift.

Wow! Two chucks, AND drill bits, for $7! Mine only had one, double headed chuck, and NO bits, and cost me £4.99, about $8.

My problem is I have got too many tools and nowhere to build as the homemade CNC machine took up the space. Homemade mini panelsaw is on top of the freezer. drawers and cupboards are all full. Sliding table under CNC has an A3 cutting mat on it.

Mini camera on CNC is to centre cutter on edges or corners of sheet and can centre it on holes.

Now that looks like fun. Not sure what I would do with a CNC machine, but looks like fun.

What yo mean? That's an impressive, and tidy layout. Wish I still had a dedicated modelling room. Are those the Model Master paints BTW? And what capacity are they?

2.75oz

They are great size, but they do tend to accumulate paint on the rim of the jar and make the lid rather difficult to open after they have dried. Crappy design actually. I still love my Testors 1/2oz jars. Just too damn expensive to purchase for bulk paints.

All of these companies should be ashamed of their prices. Frickin' ridiculous.
