Let’s review their undisclosed conflicts of interest shall we? I am being honest about my biases, which is more than I can say for The Game Changers film. I’ve even coached people who have been vegan. I’m not married to an idea and I will concede when there is evidence to the contrary. Also, keep in mind I have been extremely critical of low carb zealots and carnivore diet idiots in the past. But I am going to list all my references with clickable links so you can read for yourself and make your own decisions. If you believe that means I’m bought and paid for by ‘big animal’ there’s probably nothing I’m going to say that you are going to listen to anyway. Some of my research in graduate school was sponsored by the Egg Nutrition Center as well as the National Dairy Council. Here is my scientific analysis of the film and it’s claims.įirst, I want to get my biases out of the way. So I decided to watch it and form an opinion since it seemed to convince so many people. I was immediately admonished by some in the vegan community for my statements with them saying that I hadn’t even seen the film so how could I have an opinion? Fair enough. When I first found out about this film (I’m not going to refer to it as a documentary), I said it seemed disingenuous that a man (Arnold) who built an entire empire in the fitness industry and then the world, did so through eating meat and in the last part of his life is now going to espouse the virtues of a vegan diet. It’s sexier to scare people and fear monger to get views. Presenting accurate scientific information isn’t sexy. These were not documentaries, they were story-based narratives that twisted scientific information for their own personal gain.Ī real documentary takes opinions from both sides, presents evidence, and lets the viewer formulate their own opinion. A real documentary takes opinions from both sides, presents evidence, and lets the viewer formulate their own opinion. All of them steaming piles of propaganda and BS. I am pretty sure I have PTSD from the terrible food ‘documentaries’ I’ve seen so far such as Fed Up, What the Health, and Supersize Me. I must admit, when I first heard about this, I was extremely skeptical. Now those are some heavy hitting hollywood names so there was a lot of buzz about this documentary. A clarification regarding energy emissions as opposed to merely transportation emissionsĪbout 6 weeks ago I started hearing rumblings about an upcoming ‘documentary’ produced by James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger about vegan athletes.Updated on November 20th, 2019 at 6:17pm EST
![]() Profiling veneer or making/decorating ornamental pieces like jewelry boxes, cigar boxes, or gift boxes would be great jobs for a dremel in a router attachment. Well, it can essentially do all the same tasks as a router, but it’s major downfall is that it simply can’t do them on a large enough scale to be relevant when it comes to general woodworking.ĭremels are great for intricate, technical work like freehand engraving, deburring, and making low profiles on edges, but they’re really not practical if you’re wanting to take off more than about an ⅛” of material at a time. So how can the dremel tool be used as a router, then? Router: How can you use your Dremel tool as a router? Full-size routers are a much more practical, efficient, and effective tool for general woodworking. You could potentially cut grooves, rebates, inlays, and profile edges with a dremel, but the work would be super slow and tedious, and you just can’t take off enough material at a time to make working with one practical on a large - or even normal - size piece of wood.Īlso, another super key thing to consider is that whenever a dremel tool is put under a high enough load (like it would be if you tried to use one on a piece of ½” hardwood), it has potential for the bit to slip out of the chuck, which can really flub up an otherwise nice piece of work in a hurry. (Check out this video for a great visualization of what a router can do that a dremel can’t). Things like planing/milling rough lumber stock down flat, cutting joints, grooves and rebates, rounding/profiling edges, carving recesses, and shaping large pieces of material, just to name a few. Simply put, a full-size router can do tons of things that a small dremel tool cannot - just based off of size and power alone. Look at it this way: the standard Dremel 4000 puts out something like 1.5 amps, while a mid-range router (like the DeWalt DWP611) puts out about 7 amps, and a full-size router (like the 618) will do up to 12 amps. Naturally, this has got a lot of people thinking, “well hell, can’t I just save myself a bunch of money and use my Dremel tool for everything that a router could do?” (Check out this cool video to see one set in a plunge router attachment). Kind of like how ‘skil saw’ is used to describe circular saws in general, regardless of whether or not they’re Skil brand).Īnyway, with these slick little dremel router attachments, you really can turn your small rotary tool into a perfectly functioning - albeit pint-sized - router. (A quick note, be mindful not to confuse the loosely-used term ‘dremel’, which describes any kind of handheld high RPM rotary tool, with the actual brand name ‘Dremel’. While they don’t often get the recognition or common usage as, say, the circular saw, there really is no limit to what one could do with a router - they’re regarded in many circles as literally the most versatile tool in the world.īut what’s gotten a lot of people mixed up recently is Dremel’s introduction of their router attachment pieces, which essentially turns the tiny little handheld tools into, well, miniature routers. Depending on the bit that’s attached to them, they can be used for literally just about everything: cutting, sanding, etching, inlaying, camfering/rounding edges, engraving, and on and on and on. Router - What do they do?Īt their core, bother dremel tools and full-size routers are high speed, high RPM rotary (spinning) tools.
