Sounds like one I tried when I went to the local drugstore and bought a cheap ($5.00) nail buffing kit. I was to be a small portable cutter for some Dremal tools. After screwing around for a couple of days trying to get the Dremal bits to fit, the unit didn't have enough balls to cut the plastic or even to buff my Metallizers. Then I found out (through the local TV comsumer-affairs reporter) that the thing was junk for nail care as well.
