(NAPSA)—Having the right tool at the right time can help you nail down most any home improvementproject. For instance, many do-it-yourselfers and woodworkers have long known about the usefulness of owning big power tools like a table saw, drill press and a router table in a dedicated home workshop. However, these tools can sometimes be bulky and occupy too much room on the workbench. That’s one reason compact, high-performance rotary tools have built up such a good reputation. They help hands-on people finish projects, but they don’t take up much storage space. For example, a new series of rotary tools from Dremel includes the Compact XPR MultiSaw attachment. It can do the work of many larger tools and features two new attachments—the XPR MultiSaw and the XPR Planer. Expanding on sanding, polishing and cutting, this tool can take on a multitude of projects, including: 1) Fixing Sticky Doors—The XPR Planer attachment lets you quickly plane the sides of sticky doors (even without removing the door from its hinges), so that it opens with ease. Each pass with the tool removes Ya of an inch, ensuring a smooth and uniform surface. 2) Cutting Laminate Countertop—Use the XPR MultiSaw attachment to cut a hole in your countertop for a sink or new appliance in a matter of minutes. 3) Notching A 2x4—When you need to cut through wood studs in hard-to-reach places, especially overhead or in tight corners, the compact XPR MultiSaw attachment allows you to do just that. New compact rotary tools perform a variety of jobs and save workbench space. 4) Refitting Wood Trim—The XPR Planer attachment has a beveled edge for planing angled surfaces. It’s great for times when a corner piece of your wood trim needs to be shortened just a bit. 5) Cutting Copper Pipes—The XPR MultiSaw easily cuts through copper and PVC and can save you hours of crouching underneath your sink cabinet. 6) Sanding Fine Plastics—A new permanent magnet motor provides consistent performance, even at the lowest speed settings, so that you can finish fine materials without any melting or damage. 7) Removing Tile Grout—Add the Dremel Grout Removal attachment to quickly and easily remove old tile grout—even on large areas such as shower and kitchen walls. 8) Etching A Glass Cabinet Door—Create a unique cabinet design using a stencil and Dremel glass etchingbit.
