[Shop-talk] Dremel die grinder

[Richard Beels]

They're useful for what they do.  I have a B&D version - bigger 
motor.  Not as big as the Foredom but not as expensive either.  Don't 
kid yourself and try to exceed its capabilities, you'll frustrate the 
hell out of yourself.  But if you want/need something for the smaller 
stuff, they're a great tool.

Variable speed & hand/screw-tightening of the collet are the 2 most 
important "features", IMO.  Cordless is a waste because the weight of 
the battery throws off the handling of the tool.
