Hi John

I had an old Dremel that lasted for 10 years of hard
use. As soon as they started screwing around with the
design of it, they lasted a year at best. Is there a
such thing as a good Dremel model now?


I've been using a Minicraft drill and stand for PCB drilling for some years,
they are similar to Dremel.

Proxxon drills have a good reputation, but are more expensive. The
Professional Drill Grinder IB/E looks pretty good:

I might get myself one.
