christmas wish list

[avbill]

Good morning turners,

I'm making a wish list for my kids.

what dremel drill do you have?

would you get a 120V or battery?

Is there anything you would want differently than what do you now?

If you have any other info you wish to express please do about a dremel drill.

Battery powered dremel runs down real fast when on for extended lengths of time. 120V is the one I always pick up when needed.

 

[bobjackson]

120 volt fer sure.

 

[Dan Masshardt]

Both. Haha.

Get one that will do everything right off the bat. I have been burned more than once with an underpowered underwritten tool. It might cost you a little more initially, but well worth the initial cost in the long run when different projects come across the bench.

I went with a Proxxon model with the case.

PROXXON TOOLS: Professional Rotary Tool IBS/E

I run it for hours with no trouble at all, I've had if for three years and it still runs like new.

Happy Turning

I use my Dremel all the time and it is a very good tool. I have the 4000 variable speed and I use a Flex shaft and it hangs near by bench. If you are going to be using it a lot for wood craving etc. I would get a different tool. I would get a micro motor, which uses 1/16 and 1/8 shaft bits. It works better for wood working. I use the dremel for everything else. A Foredom works even better and has more power.
