dremel for PVC and wood?
I´m going to buy a dremel tool but don´t know wich one to choose. I want to use it mostly for (small) cutting, driling and sanding PVC, wood and acrilic. Glass maybe???
Here in Portugal there are two models available, apart from the cordless. dremel #3981, 5000 - 33000 rpm, digital control speed - US$150 (65 acessories) dreme#395P, 10000 - 33000 rpm, manual control speed- US$100 (40 acessories) The first: http://www.dremeleurope.com/cgi-bin/...3/Catalog/1197 The second: http://www.dremeleurope.com/cgi-bin/...3/Catalog/1007 I'm more inclined to the 395 because it´s more cheaper but if i need i will buy the 3981. Do i need the 5000 rpm? Can i cut plastic like eggcrate and PVC with 10000 rpm or is this too much? Thanks, manklit |

The 395 get's my vote. Less to go wrong

I would buy the 395. That is the one that I use to do everything. It is cheaper and works for everything.
Hope this helps. |

Keep in mind that dremels are pretty wimpy - I burn them up in about a year's time. If you've got any use in mind that's heavy duty or pretty frequent, you might be better off with a small router or laminate trimmer.
Dremels are great for close-quarters work or fine finishing work, but they're too wimpy for large jobs or lots of material removal, IMHO. |
