hehe, I bought something like that at a bike show, cost me £10. They're quite good, and very good set of accessories, but you won't want to use it for cutting metal. Tbh, it's not nearly as powerfuly enough and pointless tring to use it for case cutting. Nevertheless, a good tool for the other stuff and nice to have in the kit. Just save for a dremel as well if you can.

EDIT: just out of interest, what's the max rpm?

 

says 8000-18,000 rpm so no use for case modding damn

 

Real dremels go up to 33,000rpm. It has got plenty of modding potential-just look at the 60 bits! Just no use for cutting I'm afraid.

 

Hehe, check out the rotomatic, now that sucker can cut.

 

Actually dremels are 35000 rpm

some of the lesser brands like clarke and master craft are 33000 rpm.

but still more then enough power.

this tool howeever doesnt have the horsepower that is required in my opinion. Just as bad as trying to use a cordless dremel lol.

 

but should pull of blow holes and the like in plastic ?

 

Actually they're 33,000rpm. Someone's gonna have to get of their chair and stand corrected

 

acctually the Dremel Multi-Pro is 35000,

go to tools.

I looked at united kingdom and your right 33000 rpm


BUT..................




Dremels corded line and all 35000 rpm over here in canada and the states

#275-02 Single-Speed MultiPro® Rotary Tool

#2850-02 Two-Speed MultiPro® Rotary Tool Kit

#395 Variable-Speed MultiPro® Rotary Tool

#3956-02 Variable-Speed MultiPro® Tool Kit with Flex-Shaft

#3962-02 Variable-Speed MultiPro® Tool Kit

There cordless rotary tool at 13000 rpm

#750-02 MINIMITE® Cordless Rotary Tool

so where both right.

I rather have the 35000 rpm one personally.

 

sorry dude...but that rotary tool wont cut through metal at all. i've tried it and its quite poor.
u can get a decent dremel clone from B&Q or homebase that will do 33000rpms

 

Oh well, sorry about that!

 

Gawd its not that important!

 

yes it is. With that extra 2000 it can give enough lift so you can add propellers and fly off the ground.

 

so is this thing any use appart for sharpenin pencils or the wifes nails

 

hahaha i have a rotomatic it was 10dollars i figured id just see wut could be done with it, basicly nothing

 

lol the rotomatic i bought it for the same reason. you can barely cut plastic with that thing.

 

the funny thing is dremels have changed, the used to be 33000, but now they are 35000, the also used to be 30000 *gasp* so yea we are all winners here, well except for that guy who bought the cheep little clone thing.
