Anyone use a Dremel?

I agree with Al.  An electric motor that is running at elevated temps is 
under too much load for its size.  Dremels are like 1/10,000hp (smilie), so 
you have to keep the R's up and the loads down.

If you have a continuing need for a rotary tool, the best bet is a Foredom. 
You can get these in 1/10 and in 1/4hp versions.  They will cost several 
hundred, but they are powerful, versatile, and durable...plus, the will 
allow you to use 1/4", 1/8", and 3/32" shank tools in them, which means your 
choice of tools is practically unlimited.

 Running the dremel at low speeds and higher loads (loading down the bit, 
resulting in higher current draw) will result in high heat levels.   Al
