Reddit reviews Dremel 3000-2/28 Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit- 1 Attachments & 28 Accessories- Grinder, Sander, Polisher, Router, and Engraver- Perfect for Routing, Metal Cutting, Wood Carving, and Polishing

I press X for doubt when she mentions this episode cost more in one day than others combined, so I searched for the said Mandoline and Dremel. Found the Dremel on Amazon and the exact site she showed which totaled a whopping $64+$176. Is it really more than all seasons combined? If it is then damn, Gourmet Makes is really much cheaper than what I thought

sure, to drill the hole i used a sanding bit like the sixth from the left on the main product image here: http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-3000-2-28-Attachments-Accessories/dp/B005JRJE7Y

then the led that goes inside is this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/105

basically you make the larger hole below and a tiny one above the egg. when you have the two holes, you can gently blow air from the upper hole to take everything inside to empty the shell.

actually that's about it :). rest is fixing the led with a hot glue. if you decide to do it with a fixed color led then all you need to do is to wire it up to a battery. if you want it to be able to change color as well then it needs a little bit of coding. I used arduino to make it constantly change it's hue. though the code is on my desktop, i can share it too when I get to it.

it's actually one of the Amazon Deals of the Day if you want to look yourself.

Yea it's electric. It's not really a nail filer though... more of a rotary tool for general use. This is the model I have. It comes with a lot of different attachments: wire bushes, sanding drums, grinding stones, grinding wheels, small rotary files or burrs, maybe some more stuff so it's pretty useful around the house too.

My mom got me into it because she's involved with greyhound rescue groups and their nails are in really bad shape when they come off the tracks. Using clippers, they had way too many blood-spraying, dog-helping-in-pain-accidents. Clippers are easy to overshoot your intended cut and cut the quick and they're also known for splitting nails in half or muliple pieces, either right when you cut it or if they snag a small piece on the carpet it can rip off the splintered part of the nail.

My mom swears by [this extension](

Then when you run out of sanding drums that came with your dremel, you can but a lifetime supply for [$8.99]

Edit: Dremel must have caught on, they now sell a specific pet grooming model. I can't speak for it but it looks quite a bit smaller than mine, I'll admit mine is a little overkill but I use it for other things too.

Looks like the 4200 kit is just north of your 100 dollar budget on Amazon


I own the Dremel 3000 and it works pretty well for the little project here and there. However that 4200 does have some cool attachments.

Start with one of these, and one of these, then add a little of this, and a little of that, and Presto!! Steve Drive!
