Dremel..Tom

Hi tom..

I have the 5 speed dremel.. First let me say it is a wonderful tool especially
for white metal.. however you asked

> I know the 0-5000 adjustable range on the 275 is pretty great for

pretty damn bad...?=0) I do lots of work converting the BFG plastic cruisers
and I drill all the holes by hand.. Part of the problem is not just the heat
but the fact that the plastic clogs the flutes of the drill and then destroys
the hole via friction and non clearance of the swarf.. even the slowest speeds
on the 5 speed will destroy even the hardest plastic.. I do also have a French
minidrill that I use with a variable voltage transformer. it is better for
plastics but you still have the problem of flute clogging.. however if you try
the variable speed control please say how you get on!
