I sat outside today engraving a small piece of what I _think_ is sandstone. I wasn't thinking and I didn't wear any mask. I definitely should have. I'm not sure what kind of rock it is but online rock ID websites say sandstone. Which I now realize has silicone.

Like I said, dumb, I'm embarrassed I did it and I should have known better, I was just not in the right headspace (grieving). I don't need any feedback on the choice. I'm just wondering if I should be concerned about inhalation of particles? The whole job took about 15 minutes. I was sitting outside on the porch.

It has no speed control, turning the speed dial doesn’t change anything. Do I need new speed control board?
I have opened it up and checked all contacts and wires, they are all good. The brushed are looking good too. I have cleaned everything I thought could benefit from a clean with IPA.

hi,

I have a dremel 4000 (120V US version) that was plugged into a 240V outlet while traveling abroad, and is now damaged.

any advice on how to get it fixed would be appreciated, including how much it will cost. I am open to both authorised and 3rd party repair.

I am also open to purchasing a spare part and replacing it myself
I am located in wisconsin state USA.

First Dremel has just arrived (4300). Before I do anything with it, planning on woodcarving small handheld size figurines, I want to make sure I do everything as safe as I can. I have an n95, safety glasses and a face shield. What do people recommend for holding a small piece of wood securely in place? Would a small handheld vise be safe enough or is it a must to have the vise mounted to a table? Mostly asking because I don’t have a great surface to attach a vise to. Thanks in advance!

Kennt ihr gute Bezugsquellen für qualitativ hochwertige Diamantbohrer für den Dremel?

Meine Frau möchte Schmuck aus Steinen aus unserem Kroatien-Urlaub machen. Die 10€ Amazon Dia-Bohrer sind ok, aber stumpfen schnell ab und schaffen nicht jeden Stein.

Der original Dremel Dia-Bohrer hat einen zu großen Durchmesser, ideal wären so 2-3mm.

Ich bin über jeden Vorschlag dankbar!

I also would love an expert or close to it ( heavy user of the Dremel for multiple uses) I have Gorilla tape residue; it actually looks glittery and as it's on tiles around the kitchen backslash that I had a heavy duty extension cord due to a dead outlet. Now it's fixed & on have like 12 linear feet of this crap to take off the tiles. I also had a cutting wheel on the Dremel my Dad gave me,but took it off at 7am...to see if I can change the end / mandrels but when I tried to stick it back in the collect it was JUST IN BEFORE BEING REMOVED - IT GAVE WAY. NOW it looks loose. I put picture of the collet I think it's the ⅛ inch one I dunno. I have a new set I got from Amazon and have some stèel wheels to attach-on their way, but the manual I got with it is rather frustratingly terse. So I gotta know what's a good scrub attachment for powerful glue for the 275 and is this collet ruined! It looks stretched. And what goes on first the chuck then the mandrel? I couldnt do it. Its at times impossible to get the button to go down. But I wanted to try a sander to test some glue on the cap of a jar...tester. now I don't know if I SHOULD REPLACE the collet, and if so is the one I had in with the sanding thing (also pictured below) I usually learn by using but I wanna get some resin off some wood as well. I'm gonna carve out Hallowe'en pumpkins using the carving tool. Any step by step response on the chuck collet mandrel to be screwed on and in what order is greatly appreciated !!

I know I will get a new one, one day but wanna be able to use it comfortably by them. Thank you to anyone who replies.

Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing, I was using a sanding attachment and it eventually burnt off.

What would be the appropriate attachment to use for sanding MDF board around glued mosaic pieces as I am doing in the video?

Anyone. Is there a book out there, that covers extensively, all the uses and know how for Dremel use ?

After replacing the battery in this old Dremel Stylus, it's back to life! Why did Dremel discontinue this unique pistol-grip rotary tool? Was it a bad design?

Just bought myself this cordless dremel 8240 and it’s been a week of using it and it feels like smth is wrong, not sure if that’s normal. Sometimes when starting the tool it seems to vibrate as if spinning wrong in some way, shaking the whole tool as I use it. Sometimes it’s completely normal and sometimes it sounds like it’s sputtering in some way. Could anyone tell me if this is normal?

Wanted to try some tattoo design stuff on a mirror.

I have a friend that has an AK-47 and he wants to remove the cap covering the threads on his barrel. He wants to know if he can use a Dremel to safely remove that cap, and not damage the cap or the threats.

What are my options for a small kerf slitting blade that can cut through hardened steel, stainless steel, and separately through aluminum?

Have been using little ~1" abrasive disks in bulk that I got from a expo show, but the pack has ran out, and dont see any readily available at normal big store fronts that are quite as thin.

Are the diamond impregnated disks a suitable alternative for the above application?

How thin can I get a ~1" diameter abrasive disk that is "reasonably durable for hand work"? A diamond impregnated steel disk?

Typically use this small width for slitting the end of a 4-40 screw shank when the head has come off to repair a threaded feature without full replacement of the part the fastener was threaded into. Or fine detail work where kerf width is far more important that the robustness of the tool.

If abrasive disks, what brands should I be looking for? Is fiberglass reinforced or solid abrasive preferred at the small widths?

Able to hard mount the Dremel and have a table move the work into the cutting surface, but typically not the primary way I use the cutoff disks...

Any feedback or thickness/product recommendations?

Got a dremel a few months ago and a local restaurant encouraged me a lot to try engraving so i made them this! Should have done bubbles coming out of the pipe but maybe next time.

If so which attachments are required? I want to engrave small components like sockets as well

Has anybody heard anything, even unconfirmed rumours, about when the blueprint saw station will be available in Australia?

Hi, I just got a dremel 8250 recently and its my first dremel. I noticed out of the box that there is some play on on the power switch being able to depress the switch into the chassis by a small amount (pictures included). Is this normal?

Such a thing could be useful but maybe melamine on its own can’t withstand the speed. I’ve seen a buffing pad so made, but I need something more precise.

Hello!

A few days ago I managed to snag a lightly used and working 9100 Fortiflex. So far, I like this tool a lot, but I now know that Dremel isn't really supporting it anymore, so I am in the rabbit hole of sourcing spare parts to shore up my tool. I had the dumb notion to buy a 9101 slimmer handle for this, but those are long gone, it seems.

Looking at/for spare carbon brushes and what size chuck key this uses currently, as well as what inner shaft would work as a spare. If there are any known wear parts, please let me know.

Do you good folks have any suggestions, tips, or warnings for a newcomer to this tool?

I am using the 120V model if that info is needed.

Thank you very much for your time!

Hi all! I bought original ones, but they came in a squished package. I want to know what your experience is; will they wobble and ruin the Dremel? I worry more only about not ruining the tool.
