Best Affordable Dremmel?

[Pajji]

Hey All...been looking to purchase a Dremel....any recommendations on which model to buy? Thanks!

 

[MANDO]

I don't remember the model I have, but I definitely reccommend the kind that plugs in to the wall. Spare yourself all that rechargeable battery crap.

Agreed, the corded ones have more RPM power than the rechargeable ones.

I don't really know about models, I just picked a corded dremel with speed gradual switch.

Gotcha...so def one with speeds...saw one, corded...but only single speed...thanks! I'll look for one with multiple speeds

Yeap, multiple speeds are good. I had a single speed model and they are for heavy duty work, can't use it to work on delicate stuff.

I got one a couple years back at Big Lots for, like, $15. Only had one speed, but had a bunch of accessories (and it plugged into the wall). Probably not the best anything, but it was affordable anyway.

Here's about what I have. The newer version of it anyway I guess.

Cord. Two settings (fast and slow). Bunch of extras. Only thing it doesn't come with is the smaller sanding bit.

Pretty groovy accessory set here I reccommend too:

Ive have an old school Craftsman with like 8 speeds , Freaking Badass

I just purchased the 3000 yesterday for modding the granas table from Ikea. Depends on what kind of stuff that you want to do with it I guess. I really like it so far and wish I had picked one up sooner! I second the advice for not getting one that works on battery.

I bought a generic brand with a 100+ pieces this past black friday for $8. Works good for me.

Anyone have this: Dremel 225-01 Flex Shaft Attachment ?

Looks like its perfect for 1/6 scale

Mando is right about the battery charged ones, also I've went threw a few dremels and burnt them out in my day. I still have a 3000 and a 4000 and they have lasted for the longest of any of them.
