Yes siree Mr Howell. I did in fact say that the discs were too wide. For that faux pas please accept my deepest and most sincere apologies. I shall in future posts make every effort to cite entirely accurate dimensions for whatever important subject that is of the moment. Thanks for correcting my egregious mistake.
Having said that, I stand by my comments regarding the accuracy that can be obtained by freehanding a dremel with disc (.025") into a golf iron head. Certainly you are, once again, absolutely correct when you state "If anyone tries this, you can check your work -- depth and width -- with a common set of automotive wire gauges." That pronouncement, unlike mine regarding the thickness of the dremel discs, is entirely accurate. But then, "checking your work" is after the fact. By then its too late.
