Is it mains or battery powered Keith? The one I have is total garbage & I need a new one

The Last Bandit

If it the battery powered one then avoid, no torque in them at all and useless for cutting.

Oh I know, the one I have is battery powered & it lasts all of about a minute before the battery drains. Takes longer to drill holes than to do some mods with it. Mains ones are the only option

Jack burton

yeah I got a mains dremel a while back. handiest little machine I have

Optimus Prime

It is the battery powered one, i just tried it there though and its pretty good i think. I have a normal dremel already myself and its just as good as that i think. Plus you get a 50 piece kit in, for 10 bits in b&q its normally around a tenner anyways so i think its pretty good deal.

Optimus Prime

The dremel i have, the "real" dremel, the battery wastes on that too after a couple of minutes cutting through a screw or whatever. So id put this on par with that. didnt know you could get actual plug in ones..

Yeah I swore I'd never buy another battery one, they just run out of juice too quickly & as mentioned they lack torque

Steve X2

I got a battery powered Dremel last year. Pretty decent it is actually and the battery last ages. Decent enough torque on it as well for what i need.

Got it from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dremel-Cordless-Rotary-Attachments-Accessories/dp/B0040GJ41Q

I've used it for all sorts of mods and cutting (plastic, metal, glass etc). Picked up some cheap diamond cutting wheels as well and they do a great job.



The really cool thing is you get full power until the battery dies. So it doesn't seem to gradually slow down, it just stops.

It took a few goes but I eventually mastered the art of cutting very thin glass without breaking or shattering it using the Dremel.
I did get a few face fulls of shattered glass before I managed to make the below tiny vase though :0/

Size of this monster! 50" not bad price if ya had the room or means to transport it!

Is this the one that was on the arcade hits pack for wii?

Optimus Prime

Good price, but you have to weigh up the amount of room that thing would take up haha.. is the game even any good?

Bloody tempting, I'll tell you that.

As a comparison, it's the same price as the shipping alone on a candy from Ronnie :eek:

Optimus Prime

its a good price, but is it a good game worth that much room in your house? Its blood huge, easily taking up room for 3 good cabs!

Myrddin

I love dedicated cabs, especially shooters & racers :cool:

It's model 2 hardware, so in theory you could put other model 2 games in there

Totally worth it!

Steve X2

At that price, if you have the space it's madness to not buy it.

I wouldn't like to have this in my house, but in a shed/garage, damn sure I would.

Keiths right,
theres a reason its so cheap.I think I've played this and it was ****e.
reminds me of the alien the gun game that was going cheap.
10 or 20 credits and you'd be board!
and the missus would be going mad at ya!

o1s1n

Gunblade NY ain't crap!

Pfft! That should never be a factor in anything arcade related. Sure you wouldn't even hear her when out in the shed, unless she was dropping lunch out to you. :cool:
