I like the lower speed especially for polishing and delicate work, but at the lowest setting it tends to stutter. The speed control is smooth and easy to use. I bought it because my old one, a 395 model type 5, burned out the variable speed control causing full speed only 30,000 rpm. Bought second hand I had it for over 14 yrs so if this new one lasts as long I'll be happy.

I have owned and used this model Dremel before and it gave sterling service. However, when it failed i purchased this current one, as i have started to use it, a intermittant fault has arisen and because it is out of warranty there is no chance of a replacement.

This is my 3rd Dremel and have only just started to use it so I am hoping that this one lasts as long as my original one did, unfortunately the second Dremel the 3000 series failed very soon after starting to use it, but was out of warranty because my original had kept going strong. There is a large selection of accessories in the kit including the Flexshaft attachment which will allow me to do accurate close work whilst not having to hold the weight of the motor. The advantage of buying a replacement Dremel is that all my other attachments and accessories should fit it and save me having to start buying again on another manufacturer’s system.
