$4 "Dremel" tool for your modelling needs

[close313]

Hey guys,

Just found out about this in another forum.

Not sure if it's any good but since it's cheap enough, might as well try one. So I went ahead and buy one! This would definitely help on my mold line-plagued warhammer minis.

not worth it. its juuuust strong enough to work on your nails. Not strong enough for resin or plastic.

Haha I was thinking of the same thing too. I'll let you know if its garbage or not when it arrives.

The small size could be useful. I often don't use my dremel on some areas for fear of it being too heavy/hard to control.

Your best bet is a Dremmel with the LiPoly battery pack. I charge mine every few months and it's got plenty of torque, it's light, and the variable speed is a MUST for styrene work. Remember, you get what you pay for! The nail tool probably has a Mabuchi (or similar) 180 motor in it - not very torquey. All the same, let us knwo how it works -MT

I have a cheap moto-tool from Harbor Freight I use more often than my actual Dremel, because I find the Dremel too big and unwieldy. It's fine with cutting burs and abrasive bits, but it just doesn't have the torque to properly run a cutting disk.
