I fiddle with clocks and watches and if it helps with that - It's a real win. To be honest I thought I'd need something with more oomph.

The video shows him going to a depth of 0.1 mm - is that the secret ? - lots of sweeps at very shallow depths ??


I'm still very new to all this stuff - being able to cut brass and aluminium would be a definite plus. All advice gratefully received
