Re: [ATM] my 20" mirror edge condition

[Ken Lowther <hermit@outofoptions.org>]

Trickle the water on the edge of the blank, not on the dremmel body.  Mine is
double insulated so it does not have a ground.  Might want to try a ground
fault protector outlet.  They also have a long flexible extension that can be
used to keep the dremmel 18 inches or so further away.
