Nice Dremel, but the Instructions and controls are lacking, I bought this to fit my table top Dremel Vice.
Using this with router attachment. Great for detail work on mahogany and teak work. Working on restoring sailboat.
I reconnected the lead, blew out the switch and now it runs sweet. Replaced the brushes the next day and it ran for about 5 more minutes before it was done. There is no plastic shaft that another reviewer mentions. I've gone thru two of these Dremels. I was cleaning up some fiberglass and after about 10 minutes of use at high RPM it was too hot to hold. I shut it down to cool off and it wouldn't start after that. The quality looks good. Shafts are metal.
I rarely use them and even then just for short periods. Very useful in its niche, but I'll go with the cheap knockoffs for something that has such a short lifespan. It has ball bearings on each end where cheaper products would probably have bushings. UPDATE: Given my Dremel wasn't working I disassembled it and found one of the wire leads was not properly connected.
If your boyfriend or husband is interested in fixing, hacking, or building things this is a great tool. Plus it is easier to get him to help me build things now. I purchased this for my boyfriend who loves to build computers and always has a project going. Ever since I bought it for him last year, I have received no complaints.
I imagine this tool would work very well on other tasks as it has a nice variable speed. It works well for that purpose, assuming the dogs cooperate. I bought this dremel to file the nails on my 2 large dogs. My kids have found other uses for the dremel. I just haven't used it for anything other than the dog's nails. At this point I don't have a single pencil in my house with an eraser and all of the Sunday cartoon characters are faceless from their dremelling.
