After reading the reviews I decided to buy a Proxxon instead of a Dremel,and could not be happier.The price difference is minimal and you can use all of the same attachments.It runs very smooth,the difference was quite noticeable.
I turned it on and found that it would not even begin to spin until I turned the speed control up to about halfway. For only a few dollars more than the Dremel, this tool looks and feels like the parts were produced on a quality mold.
The drive spins smoothly throughout the entire speed range just as I would expect. Everything has a nice fit and finish.
I originally bought a Dremel at my local big box store. So I was disappointed with my purchase and decided to look around for alternative brands.I am very impressed with this Proxxon tool.
I am very happy I decided to upgrade to this brand. I opened it and noticed how the plastic and rubber grips were sloppily molded with surfaces that were not smooth where they should have been.
When it did start spinning, it was not a smooth rotation until I turned it up even more.
It is also runs a lot smoother and is a lot quiter than my old dremel. It has a nice long cord and the chuck is a lot nicer than using collets. Overall, I think this will be a very good tool. I've only used the Proxxon rotary tool a couple of times. It runs well and seems to be very well built.
