Many thanks for the info, Dennis.
What Dremel have you got or what is its minimum rpm? I used to use a Dremel Multi-tool whose minimum rpm was 10,000. This made it very inconvenient for many jewelry tasks, as did the fact that you couldn't regulate the speed using your foot. I think the standard minimum rpm now on Dremels is 5000, but this is still unsuitable for some tasks.
A micromotor or flex-shaft will transform your work and stop you from beating yourself up for things that are not your fault.
Thanks James, will keep a graver on the wish list then lol, although I have booked a couple of hours engraving tuition when Im at The Studio on my stone setting course next month so hopefully that will also help me decide.
Hi Sarah,
I have a foredom pendant motor and a strong micro motor and use them for different purposes...my foredoom is foot controlled and I tend to use the quick release, though I also have the hammerhead and multi chuck (no.30) piece....each serves a purpose,...their frequency of use is as listed!
The micrometer I use the dial control for a set speed, especially for setting and texturing.....

Thanks Tabby,
Ive just ordered one, my credit card is sulking now
Hi Dennis, you said you use the Marathon. I've just spied an electric nail machine that looks almost identical even though they've been made for different purposes, I'm wondering if that would work in the same way? http://www.amazon.co.uk/LOEL-Profess...c+nail+machine

Hmmm, Rotation: 4,000rpm to 30,000 rpm though. One of the Marathon models is 35,000max.
