    Hey guys

    I got a dremel of ebay the other week and it arrived today cant wait to do a mod with it i probablly going to try etching something first in acrylic :D.

    I was just wondering though when the dremel is on theres a motor kind of smell. I cant explain it just a smell of a motor type of burning not sure if this is bad or good :).

    I'll post some pics later and i didnt realise how small a dremel actually is!!!.

    30,000 RPM of Modding power at your fingertips!

    Usualy the dremel needs to break in the brushes, bearings, wiring and the likes, Kind of like a new car... Be sure to check your voltages and that you are running a 110v on 110v or a 220v on 220v. :rock:
    Aside from that... Ain't they just glorious little buggers!!!! :hip: :dremel:

    Take care when dremeling acrylic as it can be a right bugger to work with. It can melt at the drop of a hat. And i wouldnt try sanding it with a sanding drum either.
