This is my second Dremel. I had one years ago but lost it in a barn fire. I purchased this newer one a couple years ago with some gift money from the holidays and love the tool. It is truly a time saver on many varying projects. They have so many tool attachments of tons of applications. As a maker/blacksmith/bladesmith/wood worker/crafter, I work with wood, steel, copper, glass, kydex, and leather. Here's the short list of things I have done or plane to do with my Dremel:
--Grind and shape details in metal.
--Route out, grind and shape openings in wood for knife/blade handles or scabbards.
--Grind
--Buff coin rings after pressing and shaping them.
--Polish small areas that other tools can't reach in wood and metal.
--Drill holes at awkward angles that a normal drill can't reach.
--Drill/grind holes in glass...getting ready to make a vacuum chamber in a large glass jar and the diamond bits with help immensely with this.
--Cut outlet holes in drywall or wood.
--Carve words in wood for a plaque.
--Polish copper spoons.
If you are a crafter or maker of any kind, you need this tool. I also have a Harbor Freight 'multitool' that I picked up at a garage sale...really doesn't hold a candle to the Dremel. It saves me so much time on detail projects and also some larger projects that I didn't even realize until I had it. Used to have a Zip Saw...don't need it the Dremel can do it. I have a router but I usually use the little one with the Dremel. (Granted, I'm not making moulding or trim with it.)
Very happy with this purchase.
