i have a flex shaft but use it for my jewelry making. So could recommend a Dremel to use for opal cutting and polishing? Plus I’m a bit nervous about electric cords and dipping it in water. I want to set it up as stationary with a drip system.But don’t want a cordless.
Currently I use a camera tripod with a clamp head that I place the dremel in to hold it while I work. I created a drip system using a juice bottle, aquarium air hose, and valves to turn water on and off. The tubing is extended over the dremel tip with steel dowel. The end of the tubing is held by an anti-suction device from an aquarium store. I spent about 20 dollars total building that part. The tripod is one my brother gave to me.
It works well, I just refill the water every couple hours. I can control water drip rate and it's pretty precise. My dremel is corded and you should be fine as long a you don't turn the stream way up and get water on/in the dremel air vents.
