Congrats!

Afraid I don't know about any UK sites, but you might check with MicroMark and see if they have any European shipping options that would work - they have jsut about everything you could imagine when it comes to modelling tools and supplies.

I get my dremel supplies from the "world famous" (i can't emphasise my sarcasm enough here) Glasggow Barras. Try the local tool shop-every time i buy parts i feel like i'm ripping someone off, even though it's probably the only reputable shop in the whole damn place.

What sort of dremel did you get? I got a limited edition 300 series with the flexishaft, router, flexi-light, a whole ton of parts and a lmited edition wooden carry case for £55. Brand new. Maybe now you see why i feel like i'm ripping the guy for all he's worth...

awesome! I'd like to oneday soon get a bench dremel thing... they're not made by dremel and I don't really know what they're called but they have a 1/2 horse power motor that has a long flexible shaft attatched and at the end you have your tools! I like to refer to them as dremels on steroids :D

well its a very old one lol when i said bought i should of put acquired since i got it for free. it was my grandads that he bought becuase he used to do alot of wood work but not long after he got it he gave up wood work. i dont know why he did. but anyway i noticed it in his shed the other day all in a nice box still in perfect condition only been used once or twice. i asked him if i could borrow it because i cant afford one(i have no job) and he said i could have it. :D not sure on the model all it says on the side is dremel multi and thats about it.
