    Default dead dremel



    my new (a few weeks old) Dremel 200 Series just gave out on me... maybe I shouldn't cut so many ammo cans?... this will halt my mods for a while until I can get another...

    Dremels are not intended for continuous or heavy-duty use. They overheat easily and freeze up the bearings or melt the electronics. Basically they are disposable plastic spin toys that just so happen to accept attachments.

    For the price of 3-4 Dremels you can have a Foredom that will last for generations.

    Well while we are on the subject, which Foredom model would you recommend for the average modder Crimson? Since you seem to know your tools, this could be a nice little nugget of information!
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    The new SR Series or the older S models are very good. General purpose models. the more expensive ones are for heavy duty stone carving--overkill for the modder. at $279 MSRP you can get it on the street for $240
