Hi Leon,
I'd like to get a Proxxon for my personal machine. I'm trying
to decide on a ∗generic∗ toolholder for our other machine. The
Dremel seems to be most widely availabe 24/7. They've
come up with so many variations on it that I honestly don't
know what's the good one. John cleared that up for me.
I have 4, but they're not as good as my old one was.
I see good things on the Proxxon and before long, I'll have one.
Thanks!
John
