Anybody have one of these? They sure look like a nice piece of machinery. I have a dremel but it just goes to darn fast and melts the material when I work with plastics. Is there a gear reducer for the dremel...hmm

Marty, I think Dremel makes a speed control unit for their hand-held units. A foot controlled rheostat (like a sewing machine foot pedal) would really work ideally. I'll check through some of my supply catalogs and see what I can find.

PS...If you're gonna get serious about woodcarving, save up for the Foredom. They're much more heavy-duty that the Dremel, and can use bits up to 1/4" shank size. Dremel is still good for smaller stuff.

If you see a slow down apparatus let me know. I originally got the dremel to do carving stuff. It has been a great tool in my little projects. That one draw back of melting the materials has been the only real problem....maybe ebay has one [Smile]

Looks like they are only suppose to be used on the non variable dremels. Figures..
Will have to rethink the proper tooling. Those foredoms are tempting, but pricey.
