Would you recommend this drill for thinning very thick fungused nails?

Absolutely...this unit has outstanding speed and professional durability. I noted in a previous review, give this unit respect. IT IS NOT A TOY. Use caution when using, I truly believe this unit is capable of grinding to the bone if not careful due primarily to the speed of the unit.

No, I definitely would not ! Mine never worked properly. After about 4 months it stopped working all together. Very disappointed !

I think if the fungus was gone, it would be safe to thin the thickened nails. I would ask a doctor, to be safe.

Yes, it will sand away the thickness of your nails. i would take it slowly so you don't sand away too much.

It's a great tool, but it is probably overkill for your task at hand. You would be way better off with the Bosch Bulldog 11255VSR SDS hammer drill - it's lighter and easier to control, and you will not be disappointed with the performance.

lol torque? You're kidding right. Dude I'm a cable technician and drill through 12 inch thick block with this bad boy. It's a dewalt. There's not a better drill out that I've tried.

For floors I've always rented a flooring nailer. This unit seems powerful enough to go through the flooring tongue, but I only have used it for trim (oak and pine) boards.

Yes, it has more than enough power, but, it would be slow. You would be better off with a hammer drill.

it will drive 2/12" finish nails without hesitation. Fencing may require framing nails which would be another tool

Works very well for that purpose using a large tapered grinding stone. My podiatrist uses a similar tool for grinding nails.

I would say so...Its a good tool and works well. Even if the drill doesn't spin fast enough, it will just take longer to complete your project

I also use it to trim my own nails, both finger and toes. Works great!I use the fine grit sand disk.Drs used to use these things for trimming toe nails but claimed it caused nail fungus and they stopped using them.However they used a hard rock grinder and not a fine sanding disk. I think this was the difference. I've had my Stylus 1100 since it first came out, which was in the late 90s, I think. It has never failed after hours of use. Only thing I see different compared to the new ones is the price. Mine cost about 60 bux when I purchased it. Now they are about 1/2 that with more accessories. Although I doubt the news ones are as well built as the one I have. Michael-- Deo Vindicabamur I also use it to trim my own nails, both finger and toes.

I might add that i use a Dremel rotary tool for thick cutting. If you are going to be cutting a lot, it may be a better bet. The cordless handheld is fairly inexpensive and very versatile. It sands, drills, cuts and a few more things. The basic tool comes with a cut off blade and it's easy to use.

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

No absolutely not, toe fungus is to be treated by a professional physician, never to drill down the thickness of toenails either because it could cause sevire damage to the nail plate of the toe and it's matrix, it could cause the nail to never grow back.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

I used it for 1/2" bellawood engineered flooring which is a laminated product multiple layers of fine plywood and an approximately an 1/8" of top layer of oak. it nailed thru the plywood. the tool is not suited for flooring thicker then 5/8". If your intent on using staples then the MIIIFS is better or a standard cleat nailer will work. avoidputting the cleats too close to the end of the board.

I would say unless your nails break some sort of record for thickness, you should be able to hone them down to the point that you could trim them.

Yes. I use it on my clients that have acrylic nails that are thick. It has a high speed and it comes with the sand bits that are very effective.
