I will probably get a Warhound Titan next year so it won't just be for one model. What attachments should I get? I've worked with Forge World before (Imperial Knights and smaller kits) but now that I'm gettinger the bigger stuff it's about time I look into better tools. Thank you.

I've worked with an Army painter hobby saw. I managed to saw off the extra chunks of resin quite easily from my thunderhawk with it.

Clean cuts and fast .

As for dremmel, I'd get bits (heads) from the smallest you can find up to whatever big cannon you need to drill

I use a small hacksaw that I got from the dollar store for cutting off the large Forgeworld feeds I leave quite a bit on anyways, so it's not like it's a precision cut.

After that, just slowly shaving it down with a No. 11. Or, if I'm lazy, it's summer (so that I can do it outside) and the feed is far away from anything else, I use a disc/belt sander and grind down some of it off before starting the knife.

I got put onto two things for my jewellers tool which were great;

Carbide burr

Polishing bullets

They do a ton of the heavy lifting for me

That's what I'm looking for. Which model of dremel should I get?

That, I cannot answer unfortunately.

I bought a jewellers flexible shaft (honest to god, if someone could name it any less stupidly, I'd be happy)

What you really want to be able to do is get slow speeds, which you can with that thing. There is a dremel that can apparently do it, but I don't know which one (I think it is the handheld one). Slow speeds mean you can use it for plastic too - most dremels have a slowest speed of like 2,000 RPM, which is insane, you want to get down to 500

The tool I got was really poor quality, chuck doesn't align, generally cheap, and it is just fine. I think I paid like $100

Nah, I'll stick with a dremel. I'm looking at the corded 200. Anyone have experience with this tool? I'll use it to cut off the excess resin and to clean up any damage.

You absolutely do not want the dremel 200, it has a minimum sped of 15k RPM, and will melt the resin.

I actually have one of those, and it's useless for this - you might be able to use the cutting wheel, but you won't be doing cleanup.

What about this? 4 times the price, but useful speed.

Alternatively, you could try a 100 and put a dimmer switch on the input, but I really don't know if that would work (doesn't for variables).

I bought a Dremel 3000, it is variable speed, from 5K to 35K rpm. Works good for what we do, and not to expensive for a kit.
