Hi All,

I recently bought a Dremel 4000 from Cooksons and within 3 uses of only about 10-15 mims per session just buffing silver charms at 15000 rpm it burnt out. Made a strange laboured spinning...

Thanks Guys,
I took that clasp off and replaced with a large parrot /carrabiner clasp. Looks good, you're right was a good thing it broke on me not the customer. It's been one of those jobs that a...
