Which dremel

[toshtony]

Hi guys I'm looking to buy a dremel from the green shed. After looking at the catalogue they have a few varieties and I'm not shore which one is best. Do I go cordless or not, I'll be using it more for cleaning up nothing to big. Read other posts and it looks like there's a few ppl with a dremel and a abortech. So I'll get the dremel today and the abortech later on. This will be my 1st carving tool, so any feedback on which one to get would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

I have found dremels to be lacking and moved on to a Makita die grinder. In my experience dremels are good for a little clean up work and that is about it. From experience move straight onto a die grinder and a good set of tips.

I use my dremel to chop bigger trunks but it usually burns the wood. The carving tools are too small and get clogged up with tree very quickly and also burn the wood. I'm not sure if they make larger ones but I generally think dremels are for smaller carving projects and aren't that good for tree work.

I've got the $128 dollar kit myself. Works great with this - http://www.kaizenbonsai.com/the-little- ... y-machines

2 weeks delivey time. Magnificent attachment.

Big jobs and small, it does what I need it too. Very handy for other jobs around the house.

Thanks beano and Bodhi, will get a die grinder instead. Have you guys got the cordless one, which one below. If possible though would still like to be able to use it for small clean up Jobs.

In my experience cordless do not have the balls to do the tough jobs and i use the 165 dollar one. It works much harder. When we first start out we always think little trees but inevitability we end up with the larger trees because they are so much more spectacular. By big i am talking 300 mm and above.

I agree with bohdi on what he says ,I have a Makita Die grinder and its got a cord,cordless tools do not have the same grunt,I have a lot of each and as a tradesman find the corded ones much better and no battery problems,batteries have come a long way but in my opinion still have more to go,the corded tools are generally a lot cheaper than if you buy quality battery ones,cheap tools are not worth it from experience.
