Re: Dremel tool question

I have a single speed dremel that I put a speed control on using a lamp dimmer switch. The folks at Dremel told me about that, believe it or not. It wont work with the multi-speed tools, though. I always have to slow down the speed or too much heat builds up and melts the plastic instead of cutting it, or sanding it. The slowest speed on my multi-speed tool was too fast. DONT attempt this modification if you dont know anything about electricity!!!! I mounted the dimmer switch in a double outlet box and mounted an outlet next to the switch, so I plug in the dremel into the outlet and control it with the dimmer.
