not again, not another dead dremel...... ok anyone had or tried any other makes of multi tool and found them good, thats seven dremels and three cheapies i have killed, ok in about 15 years, but still...... and to top it all i marked and drilled the new chassis i was just finishing in the wrong place so the wheelbase is 10mm too short. not a good day.....

are the dremel's actually dead or are the brushes toast ?

normally speed control units, but this one is a comm segment failure. will patch up again with old parts, just want something more reliable

as for the chassis, 177mm instead of 187mm is annoying...........

Maybe give Proxxon stuff a look .. I've been told it's some of the best ...

Maybe your not using the correct one for the job

How old is it? They have a two year guarantee

Will have a look at the prroxxon stuff, have tried wire drive dremel in the past, found the wire restrictive so went back to the more expensive handheld ones.
