[reefkprz]

well I spun by the local pawn shop today lo and behold a $10 rotozip. needs a little cleaning, but now I have a rotary tool for fragging

soon to come a new video of fragging with a rotozip. maybe tommorrow after work.

one of the best tools to frag with in my collection with a diamond wheel

I can put a diamond cut off wheel on this so its almost as good as a dremel but a bit bulkier.

true i did notice that roto zips do have a better selection of bits and wheels that would work for fragging.
Good find anyway you look at it.

I was really expecting a shiny new food processor!

First thought that ran through my head was this...

the only problem with using any high speed roto tool is heat. you have to keep it very cool or the heat generated by the high speed of the bit and the friction on the coral will kill the surrounding areas. the best fragging tool is a jewlers wheel. very this water cooled blade that will slice even the thinnest peices off a coral. they cut so clean you can even frag LPS with them.

absolutly heat is the biggest danger of dry blades. on one of my fragging videos I cover using a dremel on thick acropora and make sure to explain to keep the cuts quick because of the heat danger.

there is a flexible extension you can hook to the end of your rotary tool (be it rotozip or dremel. Its about 2 feet long and you dont have to worry so much that the tool will get wet.
