Hi All,

I guess I work my little dremel hard but it just died the other day Sad
I have often wondered if the dust from working composites is bad for them and if it the cause of death in this case ?

(I wonder if I should get a new model with flexible drive to keep the motor more out of the dust ?)

Am I right, any comments, suggestions etc ?

Cheers,
Richard B.

I know this is a very old topic, but just thought I'd post seeing as I was reading through...



For my dremel, I cut up a dust mask and secured the pieces over the vents on the tool. I replace the pieces of mask when they start getting a bit clogged up. Works very well, no issue with the tool overheating and no issues with dust. Prior to doing this, I went through 3 cheap rotary tools, and took the occasional electric shock to the hand during operation...
