 ====== Angle Grinder vs Die Grinder ======
 The main differences between an angle grinder and a die grinder are the design of the tool, size, and power. \\
 An angle grinder is primarily used for cutting and rough grinding, whereas the die grinder is a rotary tool used for precision work. \\
-Here is a comparison chart between the two grinders. ((https://www.finepowertools.com/grinders/die-grinder-vs-angle-grinder/)) \\

+====== Dremil Rotary Tool ======
+====== Dremil Type Rotary Tool ======
+A Dremil tool has many uses from cutting to polishing metal. Always wear a face shield when using this tool. \\
+It operates at a very high speed and tiny pieces of the cutting bits and the metal will hit your eyes faster than you can blink. \\
+It's good for cutting carbon & stainless steel, shortening bolts, shaping metal, polishing etc. \\

-====== Die Grinder ======
+Usually, cutting the end off a bolt requires sanding / filing the cut area to deburr / chamfer the end. \\
+However, the Dremil tool cuts at a high speed with a thin cutting disc. \\
+Keep the cutting blade perpendicular to the threads while cutting and, most of the time, deburring the cut end is optional or at least minimal. \\
+There is no need to install a nut and back it off the threads as you would normally do when using a hack saw or grinder. \\
