    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Videos will be posted after the tour

    Nic...in the mean time, could you comment on how long your 443 brushes last? I ordered 2 original from Amazon, and find the little wires have been slowly coming off my first brush (I assume safety glasses are a good idea) and now its just a few little wires. Seems to still be cleaning, but I think it will soon just be the shaft, and I haven't done too many contacts. (But they do look lovely!)

    Any thoughts given you are the 443 king!

    Thanks

    OP
    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Did you buy the Dremel brand?

    I thought I did, I bought these:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015PK3BR8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

    Interesting one of the reviews states:

    "Great for fine detail. WEAR YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES!!! Small "splinters" will break off so make sure to protect your eyes."

    Here's mine, the bottom one is obivoulsy the one that has lost its wires, after little use - maybe a couple of dozen contacts (top one is brand new after one "spin")

    Nic/Zen, did you buy yours from somewhere else than Amazon?

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    I rarely turn mine beyond 10-15

    Ah, that could be it. I had mine on maximum! I'll turn it down and see how we go.

    (I never really know what speeds to use, except plastic cutting should be slower)

    Thanks, Nic - love this whole thread.
