Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 21	Hi All, I guess I work my little dremel hard but it just died the other day 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. Tags Dremel
