Fragging Question

[DolphinLVR]

Has anyone ever tried using the flexible Dremel extension under water?

is it a good idea or would it cause issues?

I wonder about the toxins released when cutting through a coral. That is the first thing that comes to mind. I guess if you are cutting through a hammer and just cutting the base and no tissue, but like an acan or zoo's or a leather of some sort I believe would release toxins.

I was thinking more along the line of cutting through rock as well as cutting through the LPS branches

So many Fragging Questions. Someone should put on a Seminar about Proper Teqniques and Tip for us all.

Jeff, I would rather be safe than sorry! I wish I had a better answer for you bud!!

lol no worries Shane

The idea came about after using my bone cutters to cut through rock so I can get rid of Greem hairy Mushrooms. Which I am happy to report that they are now living peacefully in my sump until they find a new home

Lol Jeff, I remember the rock I had as well. It would have been a nightmare to rid the rock of those things. Hopefully you got me all, they can tend to grow like weeds if they are happy..

 

[DolphinLVR]

I think I did, I cut away quite a bit of the rock....LOL

Jeff,
I think most of the flex shafts have a paste type lubricant in the flex shaft.
You could use it like a wet saw But submersing it your tank may not be so good for the tank water.
I dont think you would get shocked, but the tool will rust in a hurry. In a matter of hours. Not to mention the lube contaminating your water.

Large Hammer and a very very very long screwdriver.. Dont miss. LOL

Yeah I was wondering about that as well Dave

Yeah I was wondering about that as well Dave

About the size of the screw driver?? I am guessing about 10'' to 14'' longer than the depth of your tank!!!!!
