Yes please let us know what you think of it. I have been thinking a long time about one, something with a little more power than my Foredom. You are right they do sound like a sweet deal.

Just do it! Go for it! I love mine!
The only thing I had to do was put more lube on the shaft! That might sound bad if we weren't wood carvers! Feel free to edit me, sometimes my sense of humor gets out of hand!
You'll love it! Are you going to get the reciprocating hand piece too? I wish I would have ordered it too.
I would order the shaft lube just in case it needs it.
I'm so excited for you!

I have the 1/3hp set with reciprocating hand piece. The 1/2 sounds even better. It has worked good for me. I reccomend getting a spare intershaft. I broke one, but it was my fault. Good to have one on hand just in case. It would save time and shipping. Have fun with it.

OK! I ordered it it before the coffee was even done perking! I am so excited!!! Thanks for the positive's ya'll! I was kinda nervous...it's a spend...but I really like the hanging idea and the pen tip...I have super strong hands...but they are still smaller than needs be for holding an ENTIRE Dremel ALL DAY! This is so cool!
I wish I had checked this thread this morning before ordering I would have ordered the extra's ya'll mentioned, BUT-I will save that for next month-Besides-I need those carbide Burrs! They said it will ship First business day...That's MOnday! SO! It should be here this week! Going to go clean my shop and make room! Loves!

Hi Keoma, I got one a coup;e yrs ago and find that it is great. I got the desk type and found that you can hang it also. It's al the power that you will need. I put my Recip. tool on it and it walks thru Walnut. I don't think you will be sorry. Merle

Thanx Merle! I have just notified the Husband that I want the reciprocating tool, a second shaft and some lube for Christmas...the look on his face was great! He just shakes his head at me...but he did say ok! Thanks Sharon!
I can't wait to see what I can do! It says it comes with 2 handsets...are they hard to change out? Will it take my Dremel bits? Does the pen handset get super hot?
