5.0 out of 5 stars Comes in a nice case finally...
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024
Dremel finally provided buyers with a nice case instead of just a box like the last one I bought. It comes with a basic assortment of tools to use so you might want to buy an additional tool set. I still have plenty of those and usually you can buy suited to your needs or just buy individual tools at local hardware stores. I also bought the extension that allows much more options in terms of using the main Dremel tool itself since it accepts all the tools and gives you more ease of use depending on what you use it for since you don't have to support the main unit and it's easier imo for polishing, sanding, cutting, grinding etc. You hold it like you would a pen or marker. I also like that they finally have a clear shield guard included which oddly enough I was wondering why they didn't provide one before I got this set. You always must protect your eyes when using this since it's very powerful so it's nice they finally included one. The case has a seperate box with a few tools so you can keep the ones you usually use in it and if you buy more tools they come in their own boxes if you're buying them as a set. I use this all the time and it makes a nice gift for anyone who does a lot of diy projects, hobbies etc. Also, buy the extension, it gives you much more precision and ease of use depending on your projects. You'll find many uses as you go over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cutting tool
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024
I ordered this Dremel tool mainly to cut my dog's bully sticks. I buy Pawstruck bullies because they are low in odor and have quality ingredients. During covid Pawstruck had Bizarre Bullies which were essentially ends and pieces that weren't shaped just right. These were perfect for my mini Dachshund and Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel mix. They no longer have the smaller sizes and my dogs don't need 4 inch or so bullies. The Dremel tool quickly and easily cuts them into whatever size that I determine. I cut a one pound bag of bullies at one time and the tool didn't heat up. It is also easy to hold and grip. The tool has other tips that I may use for other uses in the future. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool, cuts well, powerful and versatile
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2023
I like that the tool allows you to control the speed of rotation, and that it's wired. I found that in general, wired tools are generally more powerful than battery-powered tools. I used this tool and the included cutting disks and sanding bits to cut aluminum in my computer case. Before operation, I made sure to re-familiarize myself with the safety and instructions in the provided manual, as these kinds of tools can be dangerous when misused.

I highly recommend that first-time users educate themselves on how to properly change and fasten dremel bits and use proper safety equipment (safety glasses, mask, etc.) and proper procedure. With tools that involve high-speed rotation, accidents are fairly common and can cause a lot of damage. That being said, I liked that the tool came with a guard/shield to protect from flying debris. Also, it's important to allow the cutting tools to do the work and do not try to press down or flex the machine while cutting. You risk damaging the cutting disks and thus causing damage to your piece, or worse, yourself. With proper precaution and maintenance, I see this tool lasting a very long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Straight outta the box...
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2017
Note: This is prior to any sanding, grinding, polishing, drilling, etc.

So first confession is that I enjoy taking apart tools that I buy, before using them, to see what my money's worth.

So bad news first right?
Anything at 6 (16,000 RPM) or higher on the dial, out of 10 (32,000 RPM), I start hearing a constant high pitch noise. Now, I wore in the brushes for the motor to cancel that out as an option, so I'm gonna guess it's most likely due to one or both ball bearings. The bearings (626DSD28 - 6 mm bore, double sealed) are made in Taiwan by a Japanese owned company named NMB, and both are press fitted onto the shaft assembly. So I'm thinking if I can take them off, purchase higher quality (maybe double shielded) bearings, the high pitch may be eliminated.
Second thing, not as bad.. I'm not sure how hot and how fast they apply the resin onto the motor rotor wires, but it looks like pore city. Maybe air was trying to escape in between the wires when the resin was settling in, but it looks pretty porous, so I'm not sure how long it will be until some of those wires may break.

Okay, bad news over.

Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the ergonomics and build integrity of this thing. For around $60, I think it's a good buy. The tool housing is made of Nylon 6 with 35% glass fiber reinforced (the good kind of plastic - strong and rigid with a hard surface) with what seems like a butene overmold.
There's a fan and some ventilation openings to keep the motor cool. I ran the tool for 30 minutes straight at 6 on the dial and it was still relatively cool. A part of that 30 minutes was to wear in the brushes. The brushes seem like the carbon-graphite kind, and wear into the commutator nicely. The motor rotor was balanced as expected, and I appreciate the time Dremel took to do so.
The cable is made by a Taiwanese company, Lorom. It’s 18 AWG x 2C, can handle 60 degrees Celsius and 300 V.
The case the tool came with is made of high density polyethylene like most cases nowadays, but it also has some interactive features that I think are handy.
I like the accessories kit it comes with, and has just about everything I think I’ll need for sanding, grinding, and polishing.

From using other, more expensive Dremels and knock off brand rotary tools, I think this one will do the job where it counts! Good job making an affordable rotary tool that matches your well respected reputation, Dremel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for my purposes
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024
I bought this Dremel 3,000 to do one thing. Polish frets on guitars. I was using my hand drill and 1" felt polishing wheels before. The Dremel does it well. I had to get used to the speed of it. A hand drill has way more power to use. The Dremel bogged down at full speed when I pressed hard. I am thinking that I should have gotten the 4,000 or 4,500 for a bit more power. Plus, the shaft locking mechanism on the 4,xxx Dremels are almost bullet proof. The 3,000 has a very weak locking system that is prone to breakage. But it is a good tool for polishing and hobbies.
