Gaetan Bordeleau Posted December 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 12, 2021 I saw this Jewelry tool dealer this morning for the first time. Jewelry tools are very useful for us the model ship makers. In the flex shaft and rotary category, to give an example, if you want to buy something much better than a Dremel; brushless are the best. https://jetsinc.com/categories/flex-shafts-and-rotary.html mtaylor, robert952, TBlack and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkt Posted December 12, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2021 Also try Rio Grande Tools and Equipment, especially for a large selection of quality files and pliers. Customer service is also good. mtaylor, robert952 and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted December 12, 2021 Share #3 Posted December 12, 2021 Many jewelry hand tools are perfect for ship modeling. In particular for metal shaping; parallel and needle nosed pliers are great. A hand vise for holding small parts is very useful as well. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted December 12, 2021 Share #4 Posted December 12, 2021 I agree. My tool box looks like a cross between a doctors surgery and a jewelers workshop! John Canute, allanyed, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted December 12, 2021 Share #5 Posted December 12, 2021 They look to have very competitive prices for Foredom products. Are there good reasons to go with their 1/3HP rather than the 1/6HP for our ship model drilling and carving needs? My old Dremel flex unit is still working, but I am not sure how much longer it will last. At least that is what I keep telling myself in order to justify the expenditure for a Foredom unit.
