I think the dremel is great for fiberglass. It ain't gonna cut MDF but for glass mine works great.

For a pro, a right angle die grinder with a sander attachment and a DA.

i use my dremel with all my glass projects not only to cut certain sections of glass but also to sand some tough spots. What about it did u not like. maybe u were using the wrong bits for the job?

I have found that the dremil bits suck, if you put the rotozip bits in the dremel you will notice a big difference, , , but i was still never able to cut a perfect circle, , the circle jig they sell simply sux butt!

Use an air body saw to cut fibreglass, depending on the size of the piece ive even use angle grinders to cut through fibreglass, works fine....

Dremels take forever, rotozips are only useful for small areas to be cut out, angle die grinders with a flush trim router bit is also pretty good to get a flush line with rings or MDF baffles
