Borrow your Dremel (Melb)?

Just put out a feeler out to see if anyone in Melbourne has a Dremel with a small grinder head.
I need to slightly enlarge the focuser opening in the metal tube to allow for my Moonlite unit focuser to travel inwards into the tube. So I need s Dremel or similar to grind the opening out (soft metal).
Please drop me a line if you have the right tool
Cheers
Bo

Use a mains powered[high speed] drill with the appropriate grit flap
wheel, 80 grit coarse, 180 grit or higher for fine.

Hey Bo,

I've got a Dremel plus lots of bits.

Drop by tomorrow if you want, I should be home most of the day renovating and then watching the football.

Thanks Raymo and Paul,
Another member just sent me a pm, so I will try him first. If not, I will give you a call Paul to pick up your Dremel.
