Hello Brett,

    I can't say anything about the "DG Motor", as I'm not familiar with
    it, but I still have a suggestion. I've never heard of the Kwik
    Koil, maybe you mean the Koil Kutter? I have Dave Arens' Koil Kutter
    and have been very pleased with it. You can get one to fit on a
    variety of tools (I mean you get one to fit your tool, with a variety
    to choose from), including a good ol' Dremel. I had had a Dremel as
    my motor tool for several years, and I found I rarely used the Koil
    Kutter because I had to spend the time to take parts off my Dremel,
    put the Kutter on, make sure everything was lined up, etc, and then
    cut my coil of rings. Soon after, though, I got a new motor tool &
    ended up making the Dremel dedicated to the Koil Kutter. Great move,
    now I happily use it all the time! If you're going to sit down and
    cut a whole stack of rings, coils & coils worth, then it's not such
    a big thing to have to set it up first, but to cut just one or two,
    it just seemed a deterrant. Mind you, it's not hard to set up, I'm
    not saying it's difficult, it just seemed more trouble that it was
    worth to do a couple coils (my usual amount at one time), and then
    get it back to "normal" to carry on with other work. A Dremel is not
    a big investment in the scheme of things, and for this you just need
    the basic tool without any flexshaft, bits or other attachemnts. So,
    my suggestion is get the Koil Kutter and a Dremel, and have it all
    setup, ready to use at a moment's notice to cut rings. Oh, and enjoy
    it!
