Is this rotary tool anywhere near as good as a Dremel? http://www.diy.com/bq/product/product.jhtml?PRODID=87385&CATID=62383&maxBullets=999 It's mains powered, so it shouldn't be too weak. Adjustable RPM from 800-27000, which is a pretty good range for modding since it should be okay for metal and plastics. I won't be doing much heavy duty work or anything, mostly cutting aluminium, and grinding the edges of course. I don't want to spend much more than this on a tool I won't use much. Anyone have any experience with it?
I got one about the same price from Focus, it's fine for light work but there's a warning in the destructions not to use for more than 10 minutes at a time. You get what you pay for, but it's a lot cheaper than a tru-blu Dremel and does me.
Hmm, sounds okay to me. How do you think it would fair with 2mm aluminium sheet (not anodised)? That's what I'll be working with on my latest project. Also I'll be cutting 4-5mm thick alu angle
I have a 35,000 max RPM Dremel...I don't know what you'll need to use all that power for. That B&Q one is alot cheaper and looks like it would be easier to hold...as long as it can take all the bit accessories.
Cool, I might get one then. But first I have to spend my cash on upgrading our hosting for phlux.co.uk. Broken our monthly bandwidth limit in 10 days :'(
this is fat-arsed chieftec steel. used up about 20 normal cutting blades and 2 fibreglass on it. i reccomend u get some of the #426 diamond dremel blades. nice tool just realised they different well this cheapy ones good too
Yeah that tool isn't bad at all, I had one 'cause I desperately needed a dremel but B&Q were out of stock for like 3 months. I've recently sold it and bought a dremel now though, i love my dremel
hope it was turned off! i had a B&D RTX tool for a day, it was good but i just returned it becuase i found i did not have the skill (well i suppose if i kept it, i could have practiced - used it for my GBA Afterburner mod though..) same one as above i think...
