#1 | | Omnibot Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 284 Location: Florida, USA | Recommended Dremel Tool Hey, I am in the market for my first Dremel Rotary Tool. What model and/or accessories do you recommend? I know i want to get a corded one for Sanding and Cutting. I originally was thinking about getting the Dremel Stylus, but now that I think about it, I think i should get a standard one that I can use for a few years until i get better. What do you guys think?

Hasn't failed me yet and I've used it on customs, home repairs, and everything else you can think of. |

I personally use the Stylus, don't think i'll need anything bigger unless i start renovating or something. Works perfectly fine for customs.
Anyways, i just keep the stand/charger close by, and stick it back in there whenever i'm not using it.
As a warning, the stylus, afaik, doesn't come with any cutting discs, i ended up buying a separate accessory set just for the cutting discs and mandrels.
Ah yeah, i'm back, (been for a few days now) and i haz awesome haul posted in Toyark! Check it out... If you dare...
And, I finished my first comic strip!
