I think the problem here is a Dremel runs too fast to drill with as this will overheat the drill bit, it would be much better to use a conventional drill with gear reduction to reduce speed while increasing torque.
@@PeachTreeCrafting yes I've used drill for years, as a general rule, you can use high rpms on very small drill bits the larger the diameter you are drilling requires slower speed and increased torque, so for very small drill bits in wood this works fine but for drilling over about 2 - 4mm it would be better to use a normal drill, almost everybody knows a drill normally has at least 2 drills for the reasons I'm stating. If you're drill bit is heating up that is a good indicator you need to slow down however a Dremel can't show down without overloading the motor which would be even worse than heating the drill bit. Actually after saying all this I'm planning to use my dremel to router out a track to slide a sheet of metal mesh on bee hive floors, maybe I'll use the small cicular saw adaptor, here's hoping I'll find a way to make it will work. I have the 8260 full kit, it's a very powerfull motor. Thanks for your video it is very good. Maybe I will consider buying the dremel stand for drilling very small holes for nails or screws
Would have loved to hear this review, it's exactly what I was looking for, but due to your volume levels I have NO idea what you're saying and didn't feel like reading the subtitles.
You are 100% right. I dropped the ball on the mixing of the sound on this. Sounded ok in the edit, but for some reason when published levels seemed to change. I will re edit at some point. Thank you for your feedback
At about 2 mins in I do say to hold the lock button in to loosen the chuck and then after say never press it. So I can see how you may not get what I was saying. I would have been better pointing it out first. Thank you for the feedback.
Only just found this channel. Looks like it could be very informative . But please fix your audio levels. The music seems to be twice as loud as your voice which is half as loud as any other RU-vid channel I subscribe to . As someone else said it makes it sound as though you are whispering . Fattrucker
I agree on this one. On the edit it seemed fine, only after uploading the music seemed louder. You wouldn’t believe how long I spent trying to get that right 😂
Good video- now let’s get a little bit more real: (disclaimer: I am a Dremel fan- the preceding info is to help the customer get the best experience possible) - the 8250 and the 8260 are basically the same tool, the 60 having blue tooth capabilities. These models have an overheat alert light. If you see this light- you’ve most likely ruined your tool. When it over heats, the motor shaft -the only shaft- becomes too hot to touch- guess what, everything else on the tool is plastic. Including all the inside support features. Once it’s hot enough to set off the sensor, the plastic supports fail, and things that need to be held in certain places are allowed to roam. Your tool will be useless. You MUST avoid the ‘overheat’. Here’s some known ways to help avoid this disaster: DO NOT hold this tool in a manner that covers ANY of the vents. Use compressed air as often as possible to blow out any sawdust or debris that can enter those vents. Dremel warns of improperly holding the tool- read up on it. I disagree with this video stating the battery run time. On a constant workload, you MAY get 18 minutes of run time- tempting you to buy additional batteries- i have 4- which is too long to run this tool constantly at a reasonable work load. Let it cool down as often as possible. Overheating ruins the bearings and bearing supports. It’s too late for me- I learned the hard way- now, you don’t have to. It’s a great tool- but like anything else, you have to take care to ensure it stays that way.
Sorry for the very late response, only just seen this. Cheers for the in depth comment. There is plenty in there that’s worth a video if you don’t mind me using it. Cheers Mark
As a dremel owner for many years now. Having the wired 3004 version. I would never buy their tool again. Some carbide bits costs up to 25€ piece and broke after a few mild hobby uses. Their accessories like a drill stand is nice, but the router attachment is BEYOND garbage... I literally had thrown it into trash where it belongs. Only thing I would recommend is getting their cutting disc's since using a cheap copies is not worth the risk. But for a tool, just get a flexi shaft with variable chuck with quick lock and you will never regret that decision. Dremel is slowly becoming a Chinese garbage, it is all plastic, the car carbide bits sucks, but they still charge premium prices... Do NOT DREMEL guys.. Get flexi shaft with motor..
just got the flex shaft to attach to my 4000. However, and sadly, despite following instructions and watching your video just to check, my Dremel is running so hot I fear the motor will burn out. No way I can run my 4000 at full RPMs for the 2 minute test. Seems when the collar is fully screwed on the attachment is hitting housing (near the collar) somewhere. When I unscrew the collar a bit the shaft runs fine but the collar of course will "unscrew" completely in a few seconds and detach the hose. It runs fine without the hose attached so it appears I've attached it all correctly...Any ideas anyone?? (My Dremel is 10 years old...could it be the Dremel? A bad flex shaft? (It is a Dremel brand shaft).
Is the flex shaft itself recent. It may need some lubricant inside? If you are still having issue drop me a couple of pictures of the issues or a short vid to my email - markpeach74@gmail.com and I’ll try and help.
Thanks for your review. Do you think this is really more powerful than the 4000 even though it’s wireless? And do you think it could be used in the dremel drill press for drilling 1/4” holes with a #5 reamer drill bit in maple wood,? Or it would be better to use a real drill press for that?
I really do think it’s more powerful, give it a try on the press if you have it, but I’ve no practical experience that will inform me either way on that. 👍
