This is probably one of the better "demo clips" that doesn't sound like loud Ronco, QVC, or OXYclean advertisements.

Paul, if you just need a little, use the tri-sander or rasp, if you need a lot of relief, the "almost full circle cutter".... if you need more relief, may I suggest a double rum & coke in a bucket, no ice. Or a Diego Mojito. :D Just don't use the multi or any other machine after getting that much relief. :D
 
Awesome tool. I want one too!
 
Nice. That ones is going on the wishlist.:thumbsup:

For nibbling out the inside corners of a frame when a canvas has lumpy corners, you can't beat the good old Dremel.:D
 
Like Paul, I'm wondering which attachment for cutting out a rabbet? Looks like a cool tool allright but is it kinda big for those small jobs? For those I'm pretty comfortable with my dremel like prospero. I even have the router attachments for it which I find really usefull for on the spot rabbet ajustments or fine detailing. I also use a reciprocating carving tool with a variety of chisel & carving tips. Could't do without either one of 'em.
 
The MultiMaster is quite robust and would work best for larger scale jobs, but it does allow for careful, accurate work.

I got the Dremel routing table and a few bits, but I find it struggles slightly even on obeche. The Fein seems to have power to spare. I also have the Dremel multisander, but to be honest I'm not too immpressed. The switchable heads easily detatch if you put pressure on.

Other handy uses for the Dremel:

The cutting wheels are great for getting canvases out of frames where they have been toenailed in and are too delicate to lever out.

The fine etching tool makes perfect fake worm holes. If you drag it across the wood you can even fake the little tracks.
 
The Multi-master is a wonderful tool - I have one. But, for rabbets Sears has a portable table saw for a little over $200 that is much easier to use.

Hey prospero, tried that one today on a little frame I'm working on. Pretty slick, thanks. Guess my trained worm staff gets their notice though.
 
Hey Terry, all that secret worm wood projects have paid off... there are now two LEGAL makers of Absinthe in the US..... one is here in Portland. :D

If the label looks like this you owe me a bottle.
 
AWWW **** !!!

I saw an infomercial for the Fein multi-tool....Set there drooling,and thinking about breaking out the Visa....Then the part about the cost came up....GRRROOAAANNN.....maybe the power tool fairy? BTW, how any human being lives without a Dremel is beyond me! L.:thumbsup:

;) I did the woodworm thing on a driftwood frame once and it looked so good that I had to write the words "Woodworm" in holes on the back to satisfy twitchy customers that it wasn't acually infested.:icon11:

It's a well-known fact that woodworms can't spell.:nuts:
