Hi Theresa,

I had the Axminster one and it served me well for the past four years. It wasn't until I used a Foredom at my stone setting class that I realised the Axminster had probably had it's time! I now have a Foredom with No.30 handpiece, which I love. It's faster, smoother and quieter than the Axminster, and I also got a little stand you can bolt it into that turns it into a pillar drill - brilliant!
