RC India

Did a bit of talking around and I am told the Chinese Dremel clone has been available  for around Rs 1500 - 2000 for a while now .
I was told it is available in Chennai Broadway area , plan to look around a bit in a day or two and get myself one .

Sai

SAi,
I paid around 950 for a 200W chinese clone of a dremel with a flexible cable and all. in the same broadway area. Ask in at least 4 shops before buying. because some shops quote double the price for the same item of course the cost depends on how elaborate the set is.
Avijit

Thanks Mr Sai, and Avijit. Last evening  I myself bought a 160Watts Chinese clone 'Mitsui' grinder with 33 attachments, flexi shaft and hanging stand. It cost me 1200 in Bangalore :( .. well the quality is not as top notch as original Dremel 300 my friend has (needs brush tuning as the shaft sticks at one point very slightly ). But I guess its still fine for occasional use. But otherwise all the drill collets are centered and there was no wobbling on both maon drill and flexi shaft when I put a 1 mm drill bit.

Do we get extra collet for these drills ? Since even my 12 PCB driller collet fits this grinder, I assume these collets are standard ones. 

Has any one cut Depron with a spinning 1 mm drill bit ? I mean put the insertion at one place and very slowly move the bit lateral.

 

What is a dremel ? Why do RC folks need it (and discuss it) from time time to time ?

What is available locally, including clones ? 

What are some common and not-so-common uses of this thingy ?

[Note]  The split and merge did not work as I had expected.  This post was supposed to be the top one in this thread !

Dremel was a small company (now acquired by Bosch ) which invented a handy rotarary tool, size of a hand blender, which brought a revolution in home improvement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dremel

http://www.dremel.com/en-us/tools/Pages/ToolDetail.aspx?pid=4000

Accompanied with proper attachments (basic action, support, routing) it can perform unlimited job:

1. Drilling
2. Grinding
3. Cutting
4. polishing
5. Engraving
6. Carving
7. Rubbing
8. Cleaning/Brushing
9. Sanding
10. You name it!

http://www.dremel.com/en-us/AttachmentsAndAccessories/Pages/Attachments.aspx

Having listed the various job it does, there's not much need to explain how much it could help any scratch builder and even ARF 'Assemblers'. Cutting balsa, carving the aero foil, polishing the balsa surface to mirror finish is much easier for people with lesser patience and low quotient in fine arts.

I recently saw its clone in HC, much competitively priced and with a more convenient flexi shaft:
http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9393&Product_Name=160W_Dremel_Style_hand-tool_w/_33pc_set_230V

In India, it is marketed by Bosch themselves and another brand (much costlier) and have recently seen them in Star Market, Bangalore. Dremel 300 + 37 attachment was for 3700 and another kit with 55 attachment and flexible shaft (the best part of Dremel I liked) for Rs 5600 (also priced at 7700, but discounted).

I bought almost the Rs 5600 combo Chinese equivalent for Rs 1200 locally (would attach pic later today). You can find the local tool and machinery market  of your city. When they are available in Bangalore/Chennai, same should be in other major towns/city.

Guys ,
I have no clue what so ever never ever used it  so absolutely zero knowledge on this  but have always heard a lot of praise  for this tool ORIGINAL or CLONE :
It appears from the replies of Doc Basu and Ujjwal  and looking at the HK version it is obvious that there is a big variants in the clones themselves , which makes my job  even more confusing : so more Important  in understanding this tool is to know what are attachments to look for that are important to us  as aero modelers.
Hence a few questions :
1) Ujjwal mentions  33 attachments what are they and which are the ones important to us and  what is the use of the  flexi shaft
2) Doc you specially told not to go in for the chordless type and buy only the one with the chord WHY ? this is important  as we might be swayed by the fancy of having a chordless version
3) I am sure even without going to the market that there might be one with 200 attachments  to confuse the hell out of the buyer, so once again  what is important to us my guess , cutting wheel ,  grinding shapes , drill etc .

SO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE USED THESE CLONES PITCH IN TO MAKE A GUIDE LIST FOR US THE WOULD BE BUYERS TO LOOK FOR SO THAT WE DON'T  BUY THE WRONG ONE.

SAI

Hi,
I am using Dremel tool for the last 6 years. i purchased 36 Pc's set from Okhla Industrial Area Delhi for Rs. 1200/-. at the time of purchase i was not into aero modeling, but used that tool in my Electronics. I use to Cut PCB's (CCB), cutting thin ply board and acrylic sheets to make boxes for my projects. drilling holes in PCB's, making holes in Boxes. making different shapes of PCB's like round, tree shape etc.  i have flexi shaft as well but never used as i found uncomfortable in using that. Flexi shaft is useful when u r doing precision work like wood carving or buffing/polishing a metallic surface.  As far as using the tool in aero modeling......... NEVER USED. as i never built balsa kits. i use ARF thermocol planes only or depron models to max. and these tools are very heavy for such kits. ITS like using a SWORD to cut butter..... :)
Recently i purchased cordless motorized screwdriver for Rs. 1200/- in Mumbai. and is now an important and useful tool in my tool box. very handy and it save lot of time.

Sandeep

I regular use I see is to grind off a bit of the motor shaft to make a small flat area, so that grub screws can bite into the shafts.  This is particularly important for 3D flying of helis, where there is a deliberate attempt to maximize the main blade RPMs.

Follow this link, it seems interesting.

Technically, what we are discussing is high speed rotary tools. Yes Dremel is one of the best ones available, and it did rule the roost for a long time.
About three years back when I had contacted Bosch I was told that this (Dremel) range was not launched in India. However there were/are many shops who sold/sell them including in Chennai.
Now I would suggest invest in a good tool and it would last you a long time.
Do not go for cordless type or if you do get few additional battery packs. I have the cordless one the battery always goes down when you want the tool most (Murphy's law).
Pretty useful and handy tool, the best Ilike is chopping of thick piano wires with a cuttoff wheel :thumbsup:
The USP of the tool is the multitude of attachments available but then you should use correct attachment with correct speed on right material.

Ujjwal,
To answer your query on cutting depron with a drill bit yes you can do it but will not get neat results. You actually need to use a diagonal cutter (looks like a drill bit but the cutting flutes are different), but my guess is that if used on depron it would melt the material rather than cut.       

These are high speed low torque rotary tools. The RPM can go above 20,000. The battery powered and cordless ones simply don't have the kind of rpm required.
The problem with direct dremel imports from the US is that while stepping down the voltage from 220 to 110 volts, the speed controller often does not work properly. maybe someone who understands the electronics can clarify.
so if you want an original dremel, go for one from europe which is rated for 240 volts.
While i use a cheap chinese clone of the dremel i have got quite a few Dremel original bits and they are great.
The flexible shaft is very useful.
The cut off disc and the sanding drum are also useful.
When used on plastics, sometimes the heat generated is so much that the platic melts.
I would strongly suggest that you download and read the user manual from the dremel website.
On thing i can assure you is if you do some amount of building esspecially with wood, you will wonder how you managed without owning one all these days.
avijit

Also watch your fingers. If the tool easily cuts wood or metal so is your finger.

I used dremel to cut spring valves for pulsejets. I am always very cautious while using this tool. Be very cautious especially with high speed tools.

@flyingboxcar. thanks for the tip. I researched for the bit and there are indeed 'Cutting Bits' used to cut ceramic tiles) but the minimum size in 1/8" and they might well be suited for Depron. Well I got my 'Bow' for my hot wire welded today. Hope to build it soon. With my 1 Watt Laser on the way, I exited to see is that lil chap can cut something or not! Even if I get a cutting speed of 1-3 seconds, a CNC is a possibility.

@Avijit, the 220V Bosch imported Dremel is all over the stores which have a home improvement section - Star Bazaar, Spar and most of the hard-core tool/machinary shops. The Dremel 300 rotary + 30 Accessory Cost Rs 3300 and the one with Flexi shaft and 55 item kit costs arounf 5400. Nothing beats Dremel quality.

I have been using a Dremel tool for more than 20 years. I use it in many tasks and it is a wonderful tool.It is so versatile a tool that it is hard to tell what you can do with it but it is easy to tell what you can not do with it. I used it in many different chores and in one case it saved a grand old woman from a major surgery and possible amputation of a leg. Despite of its versatility I never found its necessity in RC Modelling and I love building planes from kits and scratch.

What exactly did you do?  :o :headscratch: :salute:

Hi.. where can I get the original Dremel 300 with 30 acces in Mumbai ??? Any specific shop or retailer ???

Thanks.

Have seen it at Home Town (could try at other pantaloon retail outlets like ezone, big bazaar etc) and Star Bazaar (TATA). Not to mention bosch dealer at SP rd. These are at bangalore, these chains should be present there as well.

Thanks for the inputs...

Anyone from Mumbai ??? where can i find it in Mumbai ??? somewhere close to Worli or in Andheri ????? Any help would be appreciated  :)

Check out Lohar Chawl which is the hardware/tools market, in South Mumbai, near Crawford Market.

I was in Lohar Chawl Yesterday, and i see one good shop who selld Origianl Dremel Tools and Accessories. i didnt check the shop no. but the location is very simple. After Entering the the Market immediate take a left turn, you will see footpath market who are selling Christmas items. keep going straight on your right side footpath. after walking around 400 mtr you will see a big shop with glass showcase having only dremel tools and accessories.
Another is the Nirmal Life style in Mulund - Shoprite hyper. Go to tool and hardware section and there you will see a big Grey colored briefcase with dremel clone tools box.

I thought he was looking for the Real McCoy and not clones.

If original is required, then Lohar Chawl is the best place.. i will be going again on Friday. will check the price of dremel 300.
Saurabh : if you can provide me with your mobile no. will call you from there itself and will let you know the address of that shop.

Sandeep

Thanks a lot guys... Thanks for all your help... My Number is : 9004548889 You may reach me anytime. I would surely appreciate if you can let me know the shop number and price.

Thanks a ton

Cheers

Guys, if a dremel is essentially a rotary tool, can we get the abrasive bits separately and fix it with an ordinary 15mm electric drill?

Pankaj

Yes you can. The only difference is that dremel and equivalents can spin at higher RPMs. You could use same bits in a drill for all applications that don't need a high speed.

I was exchanging Pm's with Anwar Sahab just last evening about buying a Dremel/clone. Here is what I found:

Original Dremel supplier: www.coleparmer.in
http://www.coleparmer.in/catalog/product_index.asp?cls=49100

What I plan to go in for is this:
http://cgi.ebay.in/German-Mini-Grinder-Drill-Kit-228-pcs_W0QQitemZ110103901598QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_203?hash=item19a2b4359e

Shouldn't be too bad as it seems to be made in Germany. Plus it is available for a fraction of the price. What say Guys? Worth it?

Cheers!

It was funny that I was seeing the price in dollars for the Dremel, which is $160, and VC was seeing a price of around Rs.16000 ! This is not surprising, as many ecommerce systems detect where the user is coming from, and show different information/prices. But I can't see how VAT/tax etc can make such a difference. 

Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing.

 i got the original dremel from bangalore for rs:3100.00

Santosh, I would be grateful if you could please let me have the contact details / phone numbers of the person that you got the original Dremel tool (for 3100/-) from. How long back was this and how many attachments does it have?

Thanks n Regards.

Anwar bhai the country section of ur screenshot shows qatar so the rate is for that place
Here's what i see

I am not surprised by that.  I can also see the price in rupees, once I chose India.  What I was surprised by was the difference in price, which cannot seem to be explained by taxes alone !

Is that a point for you to negotiate with them ?  ;)

Also, the average price of the dremel with 25 attachments is around $50 in the US.  Indian prices should translate to around than Rs4000, from that perspective.

here is the shop address  i purchased the original dremel

GOODWILL ENTERPRISES
#7/1, 1st flooor
subhan saheb lane
sjp cross road, bangalore

tel no:080 41224344,41241804,22221255,22235456
price rs: 3100+tax total will be around rs 3300.00

Interesting, I have found that shop to be more expensive compared to others. But the shop is nice if you want to browse through all the tools. Structured like a mini version of stores abroad with aisles of tools.

Which dremel model did you buy ? I suspect it is the engraver for that price from that shop.

I bought my first rotary tool from there, a mini craft. It was a mini crap, it didn't even last 1hr of use and there was no support to fix it even if I was willing to pay for the spares. The cheap ones you get now for 1000Rs are of better quality.

it's dremel 300

My bad. The 300 series 55 accessory pkg was 2883.65 + taxes at metro according to a vid grab I had taken last year.

Hi Guys !!!

Does anyone know any shop in DELHI, where I can buy the ORIGINAL DREMEL 300 ??? I am currently in Delhi for 2 days.

Thanks for your help !!!

Cheers!!!
Saurabh

Try the Home Town stores. I have seen one in Great India Place, Noida

Pankaj

Hi Guys !!!

Finally I bought the original Dremel 300 with flexi shaft from Lohar Chawl (Nagdevi) from one of the Bosch dealers... There are many shops selling this at various prices  :discuss: had to bargain. I had to roam and search for the best price. Local Chinese clones were available for approx Rs.1500 but I BELIEVE I got a better deal on the Dremel.  ;D

Got it for Rs.4000+Tax. (including Flexi and a 51 pcs accsory) with bill and 6 month warranty.

Other shops were selling the same for 7000 and above. The MRP printed on the box is Rs.7250 (oct 2009 Batch) :giggle:

Cheers!!!

BTW,

Thanks to all for all the help extended :)

Cheers

Congrats saurabh  :thumbsup:, and sorry for not completing your work on time.

Sandeep

No Issues at all  8)...  Will be doing my extra 260 120 size soon.. was waiting for the dremel to do the cowling.

Thanks !!!

hey, r u building the balsa?
can i come and join you some day.....? just to see how to work on balsa...?

Sandeep

Hey Saurabhh
4k for 51 Assy set Dremel is a FANTASTIC deal!! I guess genuine Dremel have far better finish and high quality Chuck/Collet for good accuracy (who loves wobbling bit?). I spend 10-15 seconds to center my bit every time I change bit/wheel on my Chinese Dremel clone.

I bet you wont regret all your life. I can't explain how easy it makes few things - I would have not completed the conversion of my cheapo Chinese plan to full 2 channel without this tool. The best attachment is the 'Cutout Wheel' with which you can cut/grind plastic,wood etc.

Do post the build log!

Sure..

Ya.. I guess 4K is a good deal..  8-)  and that too with the flexi shaft...

Just incase if anyone is looking out the same, I can give the name of the shop and the owner.. (PM me please).

Yes, I will be building Balsa... this is a Seagull Extra 260 (90-120 size) model. I have an OS 120 AX for it. Servos: All Hitec 635HB (All karbonite gears). Will be using the 2 X Dualsky 1500mah, 7.2V Receiver pack with Dualsky 8Amp regulator. This is a complete balsa model with fibreglass cowl.

Completely agree... the quality of Dremel is unbeatable... I did check the chinese clone and ran both dremel and chinese at the shop to see the difference... BOY  :o there is a hell lot of difference. Dremel was much much smoother and fast... anyway would not comment much on this :-X... everyone have their opinion.

Cheers !!!

I got a similar stuff for 1200 bucks from SP road(China make) and its more than what I will ever need. It does not have 55 attachments. Whatever attachment it came with(40+), I just brought few more for my needs(+100 bucks.) :D

It also comes with a stand so that I can fix it on the table. From what I can say based on usage, its pretty accurate. Though I don't do much of sanding stuff. but do pretty much of cutting drilling etc. Really worth the 1300 bucks. I cant compare with dremel as I have never used dremel.

EDIT: On the other side of the motor, It also has a analog speed control dial which I can use to adjust the RPM of the motor. Pretty useful feature.

Hi Saurabh,
Can i see you building balsa plane. i am interested in seeing that.
Sandeep

nice price, let me check with the metro here !

Hi Guys !!!

Does anyone know any shop in CHENNAI, where I can buy the ORIGINAL DREMEL 300  .

Help Greatly appreciated.

Prasad.

Rotor Sports near Ashok pillar has taken the dealership for Dremel recently.  Contact Aravind for info on prices and availability.  He had some stock in his shop.  Not sure whether the Dremel 300 is available.

Can the Dremel replace the work of a drilling machine?

Dremel is a multi-purpose hand held tool one of many of its uses is drilling. But strictly I
would focus on getting a design of an aircraft and the build materials. The most rudimentary tools (knife, fine sand paper, hacksaw or finer saw blades, glue) are more than sufficient for that first plane. I mean when one hasn't built anything yet, getting tools isn't going to help anyway. I too collected what I needed along the way.

I depends on the material you are drilling into, the size/dia of the hole you are drilling and to some extent the type of dremel (controllable speed).  They can be used to drill small holes (I guess bigger ones can possibly be created by repeatedly drilling smaller holes?).

Yes of course, you can use the original dremel tool as a drilling machine and there is a mini drill stand for this purpose from Dremel..

Sandeep

Planning to purchase one Dremel 300..

Please be advised that Dremel is best suited for fine and delicate work, the chuck size accomadates max 1/8" dia arbor. This machine is best suited for high speed work and not one requiring high tourque
While building a model you may encounter many other sizes of drilling work and would have to resort to larger size drill
I would suggest a hand drill (much easy to control than a high torque electric drill) the hand drill will take almost all sizes required for model building and can be easily controlled. Only down side being if you need to drill thick metal pieces where it is tedious job with a hand drill  

Hand drill means which is operated by hand, not using a motor?

Yes hand drill means one operated by hand, please see the picture

As rightly quoted, Dremel is for Speed. Not Torque. You may use it for light drilling, but forget about drililng into walls or hard wood. The selling point of Dremel 300 is the speed not torque.

Dremel 300 is not a drilling tool, it is a cutting and sanding tool.

Thank u guys..

You can use it for drilling, but make sure u use it at high speed and slowly insert into the wall - Don't push it hard, take time and slowly do it. I basically did this with a dremel clone which I got for 1250 bucks.

If you are buying a dremel / clones, dont forget to buy safety goggles.

I'm gonna use the dremel for building planes only..

i found a dremel clone on HK for very cheap!

There is a similar one WITH flexible shaft, available in Mumbai for around 1,400.

Flexible shaft is less desired, isn't it ?  I remember comments to that effect.

One can always use it without the shaft. But it comes handy when one wants to open up areas in the cowl, for example, or in a restricted area. It is much easier to work with the flexible shaft as it is less bulky.

Thank you so much VC,
I called up Mr. Hari on the no. you provided and he presented himself exactly as you described.  He was out of town unfortunately but made sure on phone that I go through everything smoothly.  Locating shop, parking to payment all happened only and only because of this person on the phone.

I do not know if he is the proprietor of that shop, but it appears work comes to halt in his absence.
Well, Sri Varu Power Tools is basically a authorized BOSCH power tools showroom located on SJP road just behind the big mosque.  People there are lethargic to budget and do some work.  I was told on the door itself that there is "no stock".  My Hari on the phone and stock appeared from the magician's hat.  Cost quoted was above 5k, but again Mr. Hari on the phone and the offer came down to INR 4690 (all inclusive).  Then card payment (POS) device not working, again Mr. Hari on phone and one person is sent with me to the ATM about a kilometer away to collect cash and hand over the item.

So finally got the DREMEL 300/55 pc accessory and I'm all excited.  I'm mainly happy with the cost as the other vendor (Goodwill Enterprises on SP Road nearby) quoted me 5500 + 5% VAT for the same.

Since its BOSCH which has introduced DREMEL in India, service (to some extent) is being taken care by BOSCH itself.  For service you can contact Mr. Ashok.  They clearly say that spares/parts are not available but the machine usually doesn't have any complaints so far.  I have picked it up on shear trust and eagerness to own one!  The same shop has some accessories to offer but unfortunately no attachments.

You may check in your city with a Bosch dealer or check at Rotor hobbies

 ???
can anyone who is expert /using dremel for a while, clarify me that ,is it possible to drill a wall to nail using Dremel 300.if so can you kindly share which drill bit and waht accessories are rquired for accomplish this.

Thanks
Kannan

This is totally the wrong forum and place to ask such a question.

i think it would be good idea to use a Drilling machine insted.....

Pls use a drill machine.. a drill machine uses impact and dremel is a rotary tool..
use a GSB 10 RE

8000 is still not AVAILABLE IN INDIA  but you may check out the dremel 4000. thats the latest in corded worldwide.

i have been using Dremel and Impact drill machine for a while, Dremel is for small DIY projects Impact Drill is for household odd jobs. Drill a hole through the wall with Dremel ??? Won't the Dremel feel bad ??? Imagine Merc has Yellow painted Taxi

Some more discussion about Dremels here :

http://www.rcindia.org/tools-materials-and-building-techniques/dremel/

Been reading up on dremels. There is a German company called Proxxon which has a fantastic rotary tool. The basic one costs 4500/- and the professional one costs close to 10,000/- they have indian dealers at pune and coimbatore.
The flexible shaft cost 2500/-. but your grandson can keep using it. Read the reviews about the PROXXON tools.

Avijit

How many hobbyists out there use Dremel in Bangalore? We are looking at hosting an event for Dremel users to interact, share hobby ideas, interesting tips etc!

Do reply!

I just bought a Dremel 300. What did you have in mind?

I bought a Dremel 300 with 55pc Accessory Set, Flexi Shaft and moulded case for Rs.4600 all inclusive. 6 months Warranty.

Thanks a lot to VC for putting this up. I called Hari and he's extremely helpful! The store was very crouded and he patiently answered ALL my questions and opened up several products so that I can have a peep. Another person, whose name evades me, was also keen on helping me out. Explained a lot of stuff and spoke about several products. Excellent customer service.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!


Ordered a multichuck and drill bit set on ebay. Looking forward to getting those!

What dremel to get to cut out stripped hex screws? It will be used only for that purpose. Please suggest one.

I usually use the cut-off wheel (540/456) for the screw head to make a slot and use a screw driver to remove it.

If that fails, cut out the head and carefully drill (628) it out. Though the first method works 99% percent of the time.

If you're talking about the Dremel itself, any model will get the job done. If this will be its exclusive use, I suggest getting a cheap clone and using dremel bits. Any 3.2mm chuck will accept all dremel accessories.

Hope this helps!

Tassem.

I have no clue on dremels. Please suggest a model, wheels, accessories to get. I prefer a cheap one as its for very rare use. I hardly strip my screws as I use high quality wrenches and am patient with my cars.

buy the dremel 100 or chinese die grinder if u want dremel for stripped screws, for some extra hobby work dremel 300 will suffice.

Wouldn't a normal screw extractor work?

Just got Dremel 4000 4/65 from Machpowertools....and a multi vice, clamps, and a workbench....hope to be able to take care of lots of small jobs...will keep on building the accessory inventory...

Where is a good place to buy one? I don't mind a clone. Only use us lean body sanding and cutting screws.

Hi Vidhar, how did the event go?

Hi Vidhar,
how did the event go? Please share your experience.
Thanks

My new set of Dremel 4000 4/65 with skil work bench....all have been sourced from Machpowertool....

 :)

I just made a small order of 4k with machpowertools for the first time, let us see how it goes

I am sure you will have a good experience. I mean I did.. they are prompt and reasonable...only sometimes their payment gateway does not work...

Congratulations mrfixit4u. Good to note they reorganized the flexishaft holder in the case. In the 300 series, the flexishaft keeps falling off.

Thanx Girish, I am looking forward to making good use of the tool......

You can buy a Dremel 200 series with 5 accessories. Depending on the city, we can recommend a dealer. You can also check out the product on www.machpowertools.com

4000 is a newer and better model but priced higher.

is there a dealer in jaipur rajasthan where I can look for more accessories?

Hi Vidhar,

Pls share your contact details. We can have this event together with the Dremel team. You can write to me at manisha.pareek@in.bosch.com

Pls call Mr. Vaneet on 9717655344. He will guide you to the right dealer.

thanx, called Mr. Vaneet and got the address of Jaipur dealer...

Also are attachments like these available with the clones of dremel

Overkill! All you need for Depron (and Corro, Balsa) are a modelling knife. We generally use a box knife.

Dremel accessories are good but expensive. There are a whole lot of Chinese ones available, which work fine too check aliexpress.com

My father was thinking of getting an dremel so I asked.
would it work still.
I just bought a cutting knife and had many problems cutting depron I replaced the blades also but still wasn't able to.
It would be very usefull if we could cut as I am thinking of making an electric balsa model as RCBazaar has provided Balsa for very cheap price which is good.
could you suggest any good and small balsa trainers

I'm having hobbyking dremel 110v. Planning To sell it.!

Hi; Is there any way to use more than 3.2mm drill bits with Dremel 4000 ? Any Jugaad ?

Yes, there is. We have a multichuck option. You can use bits upto 3.4mm.

Hi Manisha aunty seeing you online after long time.
My question can we use a dremel for cutting Depron Balsa and stuff like that

Mr. Dremel si, I know about machpowertools.com. I want to use 4mm or 5mm bits. There are no collets for 4mm

Does anyone know where to get a dremel clone in kerala ? preferably at cochin or kottayam ? At lulu hypermarket, edappally cochin ,  i soptted a dremel 300 with accessories (i guess 33/34 acc - can't remember ) including a flex shaft . The price was INR6899 ( as printed ). Hope this would help someone around here :D

you can get dremels on flipkart now I think....

Sent from a potato using a lamp - now mashed

I got my first Dremel today!! ;D Its the Dremel 300-2/30 (dremel 300 + flexishaft + accessories) for just 3800 bucks(MRP 7500) from a dealer in Kolkata. AFAIK dremel replaced the 300 series from this year with the 3000 and so the shops are letting go of old stocks at discounted rates.. You guys might also get such a deal if you shop around..
Regards,
Trishit :)
