I bought this product and the EZ406 product (same but with a mandrel) from Amazon, I'm very pleased with these cut-off wheels for heavier duty jobs, they'll make quick work of 2mm-3mm steel, which is pretty impressive for my money with a Dremel.A couple of thoughts:1) The EZ406 package (Dremel EZ406 1 1/2-Inch EZ Lock Rotary Tool Cut-Off Wheel & Mandrel Metal Cutting Starter Kit) includes a quick change mandrel and the same number of cut-off wheels for only a couple dollars more, it's convenient to me to have multiple mandrels with accessories pre-attached (I know it's quick release, it's still convenient, and I have multiple rotary tools) so unless you already have a few 'EZ Lock' mandrels, I'd suggest that package.2) These leave burns in wood incredibly easily, and yes I have a variable speed Dremel and use the various speeds. Works fine for plastic though, cuts like butter. Maybe it sounds obvious to some, and admittedly the 'standard' fiberglass wheels do so as well, but even for a small quick wood cut I'd suggest taking the time to swap out for a plain old (non-fiberglass) heavy-duty cut-off wheel.
If you've used other Dremel bits, you know they can explode easily. 4 stars, not 5, because it's expensive. This one installs in seconds and cuts like a dream, and is reinforced so it doesn't disintegrate when you use it. No more screwing disks onto shafts, gotta love that.
