Let's start again. First we open the box. The first view falls - in this model (3000-1 / 25) - immediately on the trunk. Suppose out this and look into it. But before you (not for the DVD player suitable only in the PC drive) takes the manual and a DVD with tips and tricks for the Dremel and its accessories.
Let's look now into the trunk. This includes the way very well and is comfortable to wear on the handle. In case one finds first the Dremel itself, the cable is directly below. To the left is a box with the first accessories. The flexible shaft is located in the lid and holds there too firmly.
In the accessory, the following 25 items:
1x High Speed Cutter
2x large polishing plate
2x small polishing plate
1x polishing paste
3x K60 grinding roller
3x K120 grinding roller
1x mandrel for grinding roller
1x Mandrel for polishing plate, cut-off wheels
5x Cutting / polishing wheels
1x mandrel for EZ SpeedClic cut-off wheels
2x EZ SpeedClic cut-off wheels
1x corundum grinding tip
1x Silicon Carbide Grinding Stone
1x drills for wood, light metals, plastics
Before using the flexible shaft for the first time, note the following:
1. Unscrew EZ Twist cap
2. Unscrew tension nut of the spindle
3. Collet (the silver used) refer (very important)
4. Screw square drive
5. Replace and tighten flexible shaft into the square drive
6. Hang the Dremel and let the wave just hang vertically
Provide 33,000 revolutions 7. 2 minutes
Why this? Very easily. The flexible shaft is balanced and greased. After the shaft is ready for use. When working with the wave of Dremel must not remain on the table, but must be hung on a hook. A suitable hanger has the Dremel itself. The shaft is used hanging. More information to be available but also on the DVD.
I come finally to the Dremel itself. The machine is very well made and is very comfortable to hold. By softgrip housing can a machine while working do not slip out of your hands and be further greatly reduced vibrations. A hours of work did not cause tingling in the hands, such as, for example, knows it by sanding with an orbital sander.
The Dremel 3000 reaches operating speeds from 10,000 to 33,000 revolutions per minute. These can be set via a switch in the following stages:
1-2: 10000-14000 U / min
3-4: 15000-19000 U / min
5-6: 20000-23000 U / min
7-8: 24000-28000 U / min
9-10: 29000-33000 U / min
Given these high speeds I'm also on the issue of security to speak.
Yes, safety glasses must be worn
Yes, ear protection is necessary and advisable
Yes, a mouth guard for grinding (of wood) is necessary
Gloves can be worn. I personally wear the available here Work gloves POWER GRIP II - goatskin. When ear protection, I use the 3M Earplugs with three soft fins, sound insulation 25dB and a 3M goggles Classical / 2720 clear. I want to make at this point no advertising, but simply to point out the work at hand and safety DIY.
The insertion of mandrels for the sanding of wood (grinding roller) or the separation of metal (EZ SpeedClic cutting discs) goes smoothly and easily. Thanks to the EZ Twist has the wrench always there because it is integrated into the EZ Twist Cap. Unscrew cap, insert chuck, tighten with the EZ Twist cap and tighten the latter also. Done and going it gets.
The work itself works easily and very well. It is definitely a good sensitivity to and also knowledge of the material being worked. When sanding wood is carried out for example at a speed in the range 10,000 and with a little pressure, and a finer grain size. In contrast, metal, one should when dividing (or flexing) using a high speed. But this also depends on the grinding rollers or cutting discs. For this purpose, the instructions in the manual are very useful and worth reading.
The removal of paint and varnish on seats worked with me properly and without problems. With the grinding roller and some fine ground with the grinding wheel Universaltrenn- and the difficult nooks and crannies are clean and smooth.
Likewise, the flexing of metal (cut in my case screws) worked with the EZ SpeedClic cutting disc very good and fast. The cuts on the screws are very clean and smooth. The thread is still functional.
Further projects are already under consideration, such as the grinding of metal. For this purpose I will contact you again in the next few days or weeks.
If there are still open questions, they can be created as a comment. As usual, I'll answer that.
My Conclusion:
Dremel - this is my tool system for delicate tasks. Very good machine, very good performance, very good results. Prima handling and variable due to the large supply of accessories with many intentions in everyday life. Whether cutting, grinding, polishing, sawing, milling. Everything is possible with the Dremel. Priced absolutely good compared to the hardware store.
Another tip at the end: How to prevent that the engine does not stink? Clearly. Do not exert strong pressure on the machine. It is a fine tool. Strongman always recommends larger tool.
