that new dremel?

[altec]

ha looking at homedepot like two days ago and found a new dremel i was going to buy it but it look cheap'ly made any news on that.

Dremel professional? Kinda nice, but too much frills.

Or was it some kind of dremel knock-off?

yeah, the new 400XPR 2amp. I'm getting one (the #400-3/51 Dremel 400 Series XPR kit) from my gf for xmas (well, I'm getting early, I can't wait, but its FOR xmas).

Now I can stop borrowing my brother's.

I like it b/c I don't ANY attachments and whatnot (once again, I always used my bros). I didn't getthe one with the planar or saw attachment (since I really have no need for those and couldn't justify the additional cost).

Can't wait to get it (hurry up Sears!!!!)

totally different - vs ~

personally i really like the dremel with the flex shaft attachment. its something smaller to hold onto and doesnt vibrate as much.

The 400XPR 2amp comes with the flex shaft...Which is a cool and useful accessory

Tenchi4U, did you steal my sig quote?

No my friend, I believe it is YOU who stole your sig from me! (I've been using that in my sig since my initial sign-up in July, you joined in October....hmmm....)

There is only one way to settle this, by continuing to do absolutely nothing.

I've got the xpr, and it's great! I don't have anything to compare it to tho... its my first dremel, and I got it for my bday! W00T. It really kicks butt.... whenever i can hold my hand still enough. its really comfy, and the sparks are really awesome. No trouble at all, no overheating, but it breaks those darned cutting wheels so easily

hm i see my dremel didn't come with a flex shaft think i shod get one?

my gf just bought me the 400XPR last night, i didnt get the one with the planar or multisaw as i dont really need them. i am going to pick up the mini-router attachment though

this thing is awesome, beats the crap out of my old generic dremel

hey domoMKIV,
Did you get the router attachment? I was thinking about getting an XPR but i the (plunge) router attachment only fit the multi-pro then I would be forced to go that way.

 

[FrozenChaos]

I have one, it's really nice... definitely worth a buy.

yeah i picked up the router attachment.....fitted the XPR in it but never used it, i returned it as I wasnt going to do enough "routing" to keep it around.

dremel attachments break wayy too often and cost too much to buy again.

dremel attachments break wayy too often and cost too much to buy again.

Thats why you have to buy the generic ones. They are cheaper and are the same quality as the actuall bits made by dremel.
