- Here is my review of the Dremel 4300 rotary tool and accessories including the Dremel 231 Shaper router table. This is a very honest review that covers some issues I had in the past I am hoping are now fixed. I will make a 1-year review when the time comes.

I have now made a short 16 months on review here 👍 th-cam.com/video/MAxIgt0uCyo/w-d-xo.html
Best review I’ve seen yet. Sensible, articulate and concise, without the self-indulgent waffle that is so common. Well done, Poms rule (from an Aussie)
0:48 on the right is the clock i got, and honestly, it’s better build quality than any store bought clock you will ever buy, and it just looks amazing in any house/garage! thanks again Spicy!
Congratulations! A brilliantly honest review which I found extremely helpful. I would like a Dremel to add to my DIY stable of tools and the 4300 looks just the job.
Great review. I've used the Dremel 3000 and 4000 for years. They've always been a must-have in my workshop. The pillar drill conversion has also been a worthy investment for me.
Great reviews Spicy. I use a Dremel 400 Digital and an Dremel 8300 Lion Battery powered and I would not be without either of them. Loving the router table, I can see one of those in my very near future. Thanks for putting the time into these two reviews, very thorough. I'd feel very happy picking either of these two items up after watching this video!
one of the best reviews so far...i've booked my 4300 along with some other attachments
I love Dremel products, very versatile & they certainly hold up well. Wood & metal carving, drilling, I constantly turn to my Dremel Flex Shaft. It's my work horse.
As a total newbie, I found this comparison video and you also using the tools and describing what they are and whatnot to be extremely useful. Thank you.
Hello Patreons! I am testing leaving comments enabled on this video before it goes to youtube.
Good of Dremel to give you one to test. Nice to see a company have faith in their products. They were right too. Much better for you.
This is a good review. We’ve a couple of jobs that look like they need a Dremel. Amazon Prime day made us an offer we didn’t refuse and now have the 4000 kit with lots of little pieces. Your review will help us getting a firm grip on the subject matter. Thanks, Pete & Kaz. 👍👍
Thanks for the brilliant review, just waiting on a sale. Workstation arrived last week, looks well built.
many thanks for your video on dremel tools. I just learned more from this video because you went to the point of usage. I work with 1/8 inch wood for dollhouse stuff. You answered on what I needed to start project. Only thing I don't have is the 4300 - wish list. Denice
Best Dremel tool review I've seen so far.
Man, I truly believe you should do more n more tools reviews.
Thank you!
Another great review, probably the best I’ve seen of rotary tools!
Have a older 8200. So glad they sorted the lock button. Forever pushing it on mine when trying to turn off one handed.
The circle cutter thing is good. Just used mine for the first time.
Awesome review! Been looking to get the 4300 for a few weeks now. I am looking forward to your one year review to see if it has held up!
I love your honest comment! Thanks!
great review mate, nice little tool hope all good with you and reeno, ride safe weather is terrible out
So unbelievably helpful! Thanks, mate
Superb review. Novel concept to only comment on features you have actually had experience with. You addressed every issue I have with the 3000 model except for the motor failure due to tread like wire breaking off clip rendering tool useless, until open heart surgery. Many good TH-cam repair videos for this problem. I currently have 3x 3000 out of commission for this reason. two were destroyed due to locking button for chuck being accidentally pressed while carving wood. Heat buildup is an inconvenience so I need at least two Dremel 3000 waiting to substitute for cool down. I recently purchased the 4300 thanks to this review. Anticipate good things. Obviously I like the Dremel tool for many reasons, why else keep replacing them. The work I do is too delicate for a chain saw but I have considered the option more than once. Thanks for your honesty and integrity,
Very thorough review. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this review! I'm a scrollsaw and large power tool user; recently purchased the D 4300, and your tutorial allowed me to jump into my woodworking projects with confidence.
Very helpful and thorough. Thank you. (I am now a subscriber.)
Damn Spicy, love your work it's pretty quirky and creative :)
Thanks 🙂
hope you and reeno are having a nice day mate
AM here because I just got a new 4300-5-50 Dremel has 5 attachments and 50 accessories // p s great review I will say
Thank you very much for your review, very complete.
Wonderful introduction ... very specific and helpful ..... Thank you very much
A great rotary tool. I bought the 4000 several years ago with a bunch of accessories, even if you aren't a craftsman, it can help a lot to fix things at the house/car, repairs that could take a lot more time or be unfeasible manually. For example repairing a door knob, custom cuts on wood/plastic/metal, removing rust from a complicated metal structure, drilling really small to medium holes. And yes with the right tool you can even froth milk, a guy posted a video doing it.
Very well done, mate!
Thank you! Great review
Looking at picking up one of these. Decent vid . Covered what I was wanting to know . Cheers fella
85 bucks on amazon right now. Just picked one up myself
a great review my one is on its way and will be with me tomorrow cant wait a great bit of kit
Still got it and use it to this day!
Excellent review!
Love the cloth test!
13:42 - 14:14. That's what she said!
Well I'm sold after this review.
Great. Thank you, very informative and useful.
Had the chuck lock give out on my 3000. Thanks for addressing this part. It was my main question about the 4300.
Glad to help 🙂
Just to add, there's tool sets that come with this, you got the lower set which is a 3 attachment and 45 accessories. I was about to buy a 5/40 but the scam fell thru (another story...) so went around and bought a 9/64 which has one of the collets. I actually am on here, as a total noobie, wondering when I should use a collet as oppose to the chuck style but it does seem a lot of people are converting so that's good to see. Love how you're not quick to proclaim it's the best tool ever, smart.
At 7:39 the bits are made more for drywall (sheetrock) cut outs. You could probably use them gently on wood, but you are exceeding its intended use. 2nd- The flex cable should be used at lower speeds. The metal cable inside the sheathing is always rubbing inside around its radius. And the biggest advantage ( imho) of the 4300 is that it has more power. The current rating on it is 1.8 amps vs 1.2 amps for the 3000. It will take more load for longer periods with less heat buildup. Great video, very inclusive. Cheers.
Thanks for the great review ^^
Very helpful. I have a 3000 and I've recently bought the flex hose but I kept pressing the silver button on it by accident - I did it a couple of times but fingers crossed I won't have damaged it. I think I need to tighten the chuck a bit more as my sanding wheels kept coming out of the tool 🤦♀️. I'm familiar with the 3000 - but it's taking a little while to get used to the flex hose x
Nice 👍🏻 I will be thinking of getting one myself ! Considering I have a few Dremel power tools, but different models etc - 😨😰🤦🏻♂️
Love the video. I ordered one
Trying to find out the difference between the 4300 and the 4000. This helps
Well, great...and actually useful video! Thanks!
I love my Dremel table too. Found the guard to be a nuisance though, can't be dismantled, barely able to tape it out of the way. Have you tried the suggestion for extending the table size with wood planks? I've not seen any pics of the final result that was described by the instructions.
I bought my 4300 last week. I live in Canada and the collets are included here.
I have on question does the flex part shaft lock have a lock out too, when the dremel is running because that looks like it would be Easy to hit When your holding it and working on a piece. And love the vid
No it doesn't, but as yet it has not got in the way. 👍
Get a proxxon rotary tool and work in silence with more quality then with any dremel... I was on an edge to buy a dremel 4300 and I'm now very glad that I got myself a proxxon 230/E, less money and more bang for the buck.
Hello, New to youre channel. I have been looking at the 2800 12v as i am living in a converted van and something like this would be just what i am looking for to use in and around my van. But now i have watched your review i am now looking to the 4300. So thank you for the vblob.
I am still using it to this day with no issues. 🙂👍
Great video Can the led be secured to the flex shaft?
Very nice artistic pieces.
Do you know which model that flex shaft is? I would like to purchase one but would rather get the more rigid one you just reviewed. Great video thanks
I’m looking to get my first Dremel or rotary tool for general use. I don’t necessarily need portability but I won’t be using this frequently. Just wondering if getting the bigger corded model would be overkill or having the extra power just in case. I guess the accessory to price ratio is more important in my case.
Thanks for your review... I've just bought a 4300 and look forward to using it after some tutorials. Cheers
Nice review, my brothers a fabricator but i'm a total noob, i can stick weld and grind/cut stuff, that's about it :P
That is a lot more than most!
Yeah man i cant do anything and im trying this thing out. 😁
I'm looking for a dremel for some casual work here and there at home. Do you think Dremel 3000 will be okay for that or you rather suggest 4300 instead? I really could use some advice. Thankyou in advance
The 4300 has a chuck jaw right? So, at 9:28 when you are talking about the quick detach cutting disks and using a collet, can't you forego the collet and just use the chuck jaw on the flexible extension?
I just bought this 4300. Was wondering if it could be used with a carbide tip to grind off the head of a countersunk screw in a deck...or if it would burn the machine out. I want to flip the deck boards because the underside is still in excellent condition.
Proper Job!
Can you use the blue plastic wall mountable holder to mount the Dremel while using the flex shaft?
Brilliant review. Love your style and your production quality. Instant sub. 👍👍
Hi. Just ordered a 4300. Do you ever polish metal ? If so, would you make a video of how you do that! Thanks..
I use these for my dental work...what would be nice would be a little camera... you know, when I am doing my own teeth. I kid, great video. Thumbs up for you.
Hy ;) nice review. Can you share info and link of toolbox for acessories shown at 8:40.
Se ve mejor que el mio, que ya dinosaurio, pero funciona y lo cuido mucho, por que como saben nuestra moneda se fué para el carajo, vivo en Venezuela Lo felicito
If uve not already seen his videos check out 2stroke stuffing... he uses a proper woodworking router on aluminium and made his own engine cases with one.
Hi ! Just got one and after trying the flex lead and after maybe 10s at 35 speed, the universal collard is soooooo hot that I can't even touch it for more than .5s. Do you have the same issue or is it an issue from the model I received ? Thank you for the review btw !
No that's not a issue I have had.
@@spicy110 I've tried once more and the problem was that when I tested, the flex wasn't straight enough so I think this stopped the air flow within the flex shaft and increased the friction when spinning the inner metal part. Thank you for the super fast answer !!!
Did you get the 5/40 kit with the Dremel 4300? I'm surprised that you didn't get the collet and DID get the flex shaft included, I'm pretty sure the standard kit is the opposite.
I forgot the end cap was a tool.... it's not an 8 or a 9mm.... 8.5?
The video may be long enough but I didn't want to go 😢😤😂
Can you polish glass with the Dremel?
I just picked one of these up US version and mine came with different accessories. Kinda bummed that I couldn’t get a set with all the stuff you got but I picked it up on sale for $99.00USD. So can’t complain too much about it I guess haha
Have you considered rigging it up to a foot pedal
I’d like a 4300. I have a 3000 and it’s about dead after only 6 years or so of light use. It has no power at low speeds and at higher speeds it gets hot. Unrelated to the heat, the dremel just shuts off during use. Even if I get a 4300 I’ll still probably end up buying replacement parts and fixing it myself, just to have a second one. How is the torque at low speed on the 4300? Enough to do light sanding or is it like the 3000 where just looking at it causes it to stall?
I use it on metal and never had it stall or even struggle too much.
Does it have replaceable carbon brushes? Some Dremels do.
Serious Cat it does, but the brushes look fine. Maybe a small chip in the corners but that shouldn’t cause the problems I’m having.
Have you considered a pendant motor? I work with metal, too. Your work is beautiful, BTW. There's simply no substitute for the torque of a pendant motor and its momentum. Assuming you get a decent one, it'll have a 4-pole motor and not a 2-pole as in a handheld rotary tool. What's the difference? A 4-pole will spin at half the speed of a 2-pole, but have 4 times the torque. As a rough rule of thumb, the slower the rotational speed, the more powerful the motor. I own a number of rotary tools, including a Dremel, which literally sit in a drawer and several pendant motors. Primarily, I use a 1/3hp (continuous) Foredom TX, but less expensive pendant motors are a great start. I used a counterfeit Chinese Foredom SR for about a year and liked it a lot. It's pretty inexpensive. You may want to replace the pedal on an inexpensive pendant motor, especially if it comes with a Chinese Foredom style pedal, with one from Foredom - it can make for a night and day difference in control. Good luck.
I want to modify my kitchen work tops,which have a 90 deg edge.Can this be used to put a rounded edge on them.
It would depend out much you want to take off as to the size of router cutter you would need. For most work tops I would imagine a proper router would be best.
It also very much depends what the worktop is made of, the fiber filler laminated tops would round smoothly.
@@spicy110 I would like 3/8 or 1/4 rounded edge on a laminated top.
Sadly that's not my area of knowledge, I can't offer more than I have. There are many woodworking channels that would be better able to offer you a valuable answer. 👍
@@spicy110 Thanks for the helpful advice.
Very helpful video! Thank you dude, if you have any spare time message, I could do with abit of guidance with the tools to buy for the work I want to do, I’m 28 years old and I’m stating fresh and pursuing what I enjoy, I’m just abit overwhelm with where to start x
What sort of work are you looking to do?
Does it have a forward and reverse button for it to rotate clockwise or counter clock?
No it only runs in one direction.
Good to know. Thanks!
Thanks for the info mate! I've got a 4200 which has been through a bit of abuse and has developed a bit of the old weeble-wobble so am considering splashing out on a new one.
I did find it pretty uncomfortable watching you run the piece "backwards" on the router table with only the workpiece between you and the bit.
Maybe it's worth mentioning a bit more detail about the risks of a climb cut in your next update? Or maybe just link to another video you think is worthy of you don't want to go to the trouble.
I gather it's a calculated risk for you so not trying to tell you off! Just don't want a newbie mangling themselves because they've seen others doing it without explanation 😬
Do you find the lower rpm settings to be a little unstable?
At first I did find this, however give the switch a good few slids back and forth and a bit of use and mine settled down.
Here in Aus we don't get the flex shaft or the wall mount in the kit and the accessory kit is not as good
I think this is a higher level kit and what you are referring to is the basic. I think we can get that here too but I am not 100%
does dremel 4300 fit to dremel plunge 335?
I like the couple of dremels I have though unfortunately my battery powered one's charger went pop :( But they are great tools to have.
The 4300 in the toolbox comes with more bits and the collet. It’s $200 I love it though
Your UK version of 4300 Dremel kit exceeds (wall mount, engraving pen with an extended shaft, etc...) the U.S. of A. version of the same 4300 kit. As of this date, there are no upgrades to the American version of the kit - it is the same as it was two years ago when I first bought the 4300. Let me warn you, the router table, the Work Station, and a few other attachments are rubbish. The 4300 rotary tool itself is wicked. I have broken many 1/8" shaft attachments. I will admit, I am hard on my tools, and sometimes, I get very impatient that contributes to the breakage of many attachments. It is ashamed that Dremel only offers the 1/8" shaft for its attachments with the 4300. I can assure you that the 4300 rotary tool is capable (incredible torque) of handling a 3/8" shaft with no trouble. I have locked horns with Dremel about this matter. No intent of a 3/8" shaft creation to market, at least, not in my lifetime.
I have a Lidl version and it's okay for what I need it for but kinda wish they had a motor with more torque rather than a motor that can go up to 45k rpm or something silly, but you can almost stop it by pressing down with the tool
Yer I too had that with my cheap 3rd party one, it was fine for most uses but against daily use it got time consuming. No doubt this cost a lot more but I can see where the money went.
@@spicy110 Yeah the Lidl one was less than 20 quid I believe and came with quite a few accessories so it ain't bad
@Spicy110 how about putting your skills to make some universal tail tidys all the ones on eBay look shocking!!
The Only thing I hate about the Dremel Tool is that it can be very NOISY on the higher RPM Speeds - 😨😰😰🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
And what is best for u now ?
Yep. But it's a burden of ALL quick rotary rotary tools - routers as well.
Actually, Dremel is really good in comparison with the cheapest ones.
@@mykolashatkovskyi8817 what is best rotary tool?
@@bass2261 honestly - have no clue. Just watched a number of Dremel reviews and compare these with my inexpensive one - and I like Dremel way more, including really rich family of all sorts of attachments.
Planning to buy one. But will start with its drill press - seems to be compatible with my tool.
I wish my tool was a similar girth to yours spicy.
I'm sorry that was so bad😂😂😂
35,000 rpm is crazy
have you done the comparison yet?
I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.
Is this 220 volts?
Yes
the chuck won't open or come off. it just keeps turning. what am I donig wrong?
Make sure your pressing the button to lock the shaft in place.
spicy110 thank you.
Any news to report 1 year later? Is it still an excellent tool?
Yes lasting fantastic no issues and the cord is still as right as new unlike the tack life one after a year or so.
@@spicy110 Thanks for this video review and your speedy reply. I was on the fence between the Dremel 4000 and the 4300, and your revelation that the standard collets can still be used in place of the new chuck, the LED flashlight can be removed, and your airflow demonstration and assurance of low operating temperature... have sold me. People report that the 4000 still gets quite hot, so I expect a shorter operational lifetime with that model (the 4000 is still trending on Amazon against the 4300). I was worried about the differences in the 4300 but you've abated those concerns.
Can’t find the promised follow up longevity review.
It's not made yet we have only just passed a year of use. Tho it has been used in many videos over that year. I do aim to make that video in the new year. However I can say now no issues no problems
