Cool thread. I've burned up three Dremels in my time. Absolutely a must have for my shop. I agree with Spaw et al that the 90 degree attachment looks worthwhile. I have one of the flexible shafts, and while handy, it generates quite a bit of heat, that is, the shaft itself gets quitewarm to the touch. So I wonder how hard it is on the little Dremel tool motor.

Rick, I think if I were doing serious inlays, or anything requiring great precision, I would invest in a Foredom brand moto-tool. A lot more expensive, but more accurate and built with more precision. If I'd bought one thirty years ago, I would probably still be using the same one, and not burned up the three Dremels.

All and all, though, the Dremel is a great value, with amazing versatility. BlueJay
