TOOL TIME - EP. 1 - MILWAUKEE M12 ROTARY REVIEW + DREMEL UPGRADES 

Lol thanks for pointing that out and they are being called cutting bits by dremel, unfortunately I didn't want to buy a piece of drywall just to destroy it. On the home depot product page it does show cutting/carving through a plank so I wanted to see if it could recreate that (probably should have drilled a pilot hole 1st)

Glad I could help. HUGE WARNING! BE SURE TO CONNECT THE DRIVE SHANK CORRECTLY. If it is seized in the tool (motor trying to spin but shaft not spinning) You will burn out the motor and the tool is done for...happened recently to me so once installed DO NOT turn on tool to higher speeds without making sure the shaft is free

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL Thank you. I purchased the Milwaukee tool along with the flex shaft. I can see what you mean about connecting them correctly but should point out that this is not due to a mismatch between the tools as the connection is exactly the same so it also applies to the Dremel. Everything connected easily and worked together perfectly.

@@ricksvideos correct. Just to be safe i spin the collet and head on the flex shaft by hand just to confirm it's ready to spin. And even though they come greased don't forget with heavy use to pull the metal shaft out and lube it from time to time 👍🏻

Apologies, I did call the new brushless version FUEL as that line is almost synonymous with brushless milwaukees. that being said Dremel has way more experience and research in rotary tools. I suppose it would depend on how deep into the m12 platform you already are. The Dremel 8260 has a max of 30,000 rpm compared to the m12 brushless at 27,500 AND Dremel's 8260 has a limited life time warranty instead of Milwaukees 5 year. If you walk around with M12 tools and batteries all day the m12 rotary is perfectly suited to most needs however if you don't mind having to carry and charge another brand the brushless dremel 8260 is said to deliver 20% more power than their highest corded model (the 4300) but that one has 35,000 rpm. whichever choice you go for I'm sure you won't be disappointed :) the main goal is gathering experience!

if you're looking at it from a cost perspective the M12 brushless is 130 bare tool at Home depot or 200 for kit with 3 ah battery, bag, charger, 3 cutoff wheels while the Dremel 8260 comes as a kit for 150 (ON SALE NOW NORMALLY 170) with a 3 AH battery, charger, bag, 3 metal cutoff wheels and 1 wheel for plastics

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL wow, far more thorough reply than I thought! Thank you so much! I'm not super into M12 nor am I anything more than an at-home hobbyist/DIYer. If anything, I'm looking at M12 instead of Dremel to avoid having to buy into multiple systems. I honestly don't even really NEED a rotary tool at the moment, I just want one haha. That said, if and when I get one, battery is the way to go, but if and only if they're replaceable; either user-serviceable replacement/swaps, or interchangeable (like cordless tools including Milwaukee.) So the 4300 is out of the question. But the 8260 is certainly worth looking at, you're not wrong. My only concern going Dremel is whether or not their battery system will carry on. I know I can trust Milwaukee for at least another half-decade if not 10+ more years to stand behind the battery system (plus have third party people making knock-offs) but I fell like Dremel is new enough they may change things up every couple generations, and then I wonder how hard will it be to source replacements? But this is all just speculation on my part, really.

well I like to give as much info as I can people call me "Too Technical" i just added the L so people know it's about tools and not specifically tech. as for the 4300 I know cordless is better but dremel really wants you to know the 8260 beats their high cord model. My m12 rotary is a tool I never thought I needed now it's probably my favorite tool besides my new m18 fuel 2953-20. good luck to you -Work Smart @@Kitteh.B

1/8" bits. If you need something for 1/4" try the die grinder (bigger bits but lower RPM. All depends on your applications. - Work Smart 🛠
