they'd still have rubbish collets and runout.
Yeah, it IS amazing a firm that manufactures such a "popular thing" could do
it so BADLY for years! A "Dremel tool" is hardly good enough for
wood-carving! If runout, etc. were not too bad for that use, the longevity of the
device as-is from factory certainly is too short! I had one that gave-out before
"the pretty had rubbed off", and I needed such for misc. shop stuff, so I
bought an "equivalent" from Sears. Has lasted MUCH longer, though has a clumsy
housing (the cylindrical simple shape can be adapted to home-brew rigs much
more easily).
