I got a good deal (I think) on some bright 10mm LED’s (130k mcd’s) but they’re clear rather than diffuse and they look weird behind the ping pong balls I was planning to house them in.
Sanding one or two down with some 240 grit sandpaper works just fine but it’s frightfully slow.
So, never adverse to buying a gadget (economic stimulus is my excuse) I unleash the Dremel 300, delivered today, on them.
It works great. In fact, almost too well. I wish the device had a lower ‘lowest’ speed. I really ought to be wearing a dust mask too!
But all said and done, I reckon it will save 2 minutes per LED. So 64 x 2 minutes, the best part of 2 hours. At my professional rate, that’s already paid for the Dremel a bunch of times over. Result, me=happy (apart from polywhatsit-dust in my respiratory tract)
