I'm wondering if my sarcasm you came through wrong. Of course I know what a dremmel is for! I've owned two or three complete dremmel sets! I mostly used them for buffing and polishing copper, silver, sanding things.
That's not why I'm here.
I'm not sure. I've never seen one used for polishing, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
I've done it, many people use them for polishing stones as well.
This is why I'm here; that's Dean Winters! (Or is it his brother? I always get them confused.) he was in OZ and SUV, remember?

Forgive my rampant stupidity; isn't a dremmel for polishing elements and such? Brass, silver, etc. . .?

There was a "you" accidentally inserted around sarcasm and it was meant to be my sarcasm. I've always used my dremmels for polishing and buffing rocks and jewelry, occasionally sanding small things need to be sanded. I've only seen geologists, metaphysical shops jewelry makers, craft smiths, and others thers do the same, although I've never thought to use a Dremel to cut through anything like a steel pipe. They're kind of small for bathroom plumbing. I'm probably wrong because I know dremmels have a lot more uses than that what I have use them for.
The rest of the comment explained why I chose to reply anyway. I wanted to make a natural transition to the Dean Winters picture and explain that I was being (facetious) about the dremmel comment. That's what I meant by the bold part - I like Dean Winters. Why was it bold and separate from the rest of the quote?

It went on to explain why I was here as in "this thread"! I know you guys love me, but can you imagine me thinking "maybe I shouldn't post in the random thoughts thread because of a bold statement!"
:rofl:

Oh sure. At my old job we had air-powered ones we used to polish hard to reach areas on orthopedic implants (such as the box between the condyles of knees) and instruments. Various heads and compounds for a variety of finishes. Ours were some high-dollar, high-tech tools, though, nothing like them chintzy store-bought thingies. I was pretty handy with em, I tells ye.
