Dremel motor tool...

do you guys use a dremmil? i notice alot of people cut out for their exhausts and it looks all choppy, it wouldent be a bad idea to invest in some sort of rotary cutting/sanding tool. thats IMO :smile:

dremils rock
i dremiled my race bike, so i could fit bigger bearings in the cranks

I use a dremmel, you would be suprised how much time it saves!:wink:

yea they are very quick compared to try doin shit with your hand

i dont have dremel, but i do have a cheaper version....does the job just as well....:bigthumb:

Whut kind do u use? Wondering, want to get a cheaper version of Dremel cuz its to much.

my dremel is the best money i have spent. can use it to fine sand, chop and cut anything from metal to plastic. i would recommend one for sure.

Personaly i would recomend the dremmel, because it comes with a 5 year warranty and i have the one that has the variable speed, but if your not willing to spend that much, check out your local, walmart or parts store, and you could pick one up for like 20usd.

its called a ''como drill'' i dont even know if its still being made. i got it about 5 years ago for christmas (i liked to drill holes in things as a kid:biggrin: ) it cost about £30 with a few tools. the one i have has interchangeable chucks so it can even use the tools sold for the dremels:icon16:


i agree with TURBOSATURN that the dremel would be better because it has a good warranty, but unless you are making hundereds of models, i think a cheaper ''mini drill'' will do the job just fine.

wall mart, or some catalogue store will probably have one.

I own a dremel, and I don't use it to do all that much so often anymore, it spins too fast, even on the lowest setting! :redface:

i solved the problem of the dremel spinning too fast by making a speed controller out of a light dimmer switch.it's all done safely, 3 pin plug into an electrical box, thru the dimmer switch and into the 3 pin socket. it looks just like an extension cord but with a box in the middle. i just plug the dremel into this and i can vary the speed from about 200rpm upto 37000 rpm. cost me about $30 but now i can use it for everything.

check out autozone or shucks it has its own brand and they make a pretty good one for like $20 with like 50 pieces with it

I love my Dremel tool. The best thing to happen to modellers since the airbrush!

i just took one of my old sanding wheels, and some new sanding film cut the right length of film then glued it to the wheel, then let it dry for a while.

A Dremel is a modelers best friend:tongue:

how much are these dremmel tools?

$40-100$ id say

i got my cordless one for 60
