This (http://www.blackanddecker.com/ProductGuide/Product-Details.aspx?ProductID=10951) is what I use for all of my cutting needs for modding.
It doesn't cramp your hand up while using it for longs periods and it has tons of power. I think I was somewhere around $40 at Walmart when I bought it. It can take all of the Dremel bits. Not sure about things like the flex shaft and saw blade thing. i bought a Dremel brand starer kit with it for like $20 and was able to use everything in it.
Only think I don't like is where they put the vent slots. If you're not watching it you'll cover the intakes and the motor starts to get real warm under you hands.
Just what I use and thought I would throw it out there.

This is likely the most complete set you will find for that price (BARELY under a hundred), and it is an excellent machine. http://www.grizzly.com/products/Dremel-400-Series-XPR-Rotary-Tool/H9675

Even comes with the planer attachment. :)

Wow, if you look at both of the above tools they are the same thing, right down to the case they come in. Only difference I can see is the color, and the Craftsman comes with a light while the Dremel comes with the planer. Guess it depends on what you need. :)

Well I've had my craftsman for several years and haven't had trouble 1.
I'd buy one again and would recommend one to a friend.
All the dremel accessories that i've found fit the craftsman.

If I remember correctly I've had my craftsman roto tool since at least 1997 maybe even 95 - 96. So it's at least 10 years old. wow now I feel old :think:

Wow. That's a long time for any electrical tool, much less one that takes the abuse of a rotary tool. Outstanding.
