    I got the same kit as yours when it first came out but my kit also came with the blade sharpener and the flex cable. I would suggest to any one looking to get a Dremel get the biggest kit with the most attachments and accessories. It might be a little costly if you don’t buy them around the holidays. If you don’t get a kit and then when you’ll need one of the attachments they are going to be more expensive as a single attachment. I’ve had my kit for over 12 years and still works great as long as you let the tool work it its own speed.

    I got a new Dremmel 4300 and have spent hours trying to figure out how the darn thing works. Thank you so much for your review as I learned more in this 20 minute review than in all the others. Also thank you for keeping the dremmel tool in the picture at all times as the others seem to move it out of view when doing what I want to see. Thanks again. Looking forward to your other videos.

    You know those little pressed metal spanners that you get with Dremels, routers and other tools? Throw them away and buy a proper spanner. That way the collet nuts last forever. Good review, very useful.

    I just bought the Dremel 4000 and so far I love it. I have watched several videos on different models and I feel I bought the right one. My next purchase is going to be the flex shaft (looking forward to that) I have an idea of the perfect Dremel / router work station complete with 14 in Lazy Susan and over head accessory storage unit adding the vice from your work station to my plans, waiting until my last move into retirement/hobby mode for that build in the mean time am learning and practicing skills to assist with crafts for flea market to supplement retirement income.
    BTW great video and review keep up the good work.

  • @packhams4
    @packhams4 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I bought a Dremel 4200 a year or two ago, paid the extra to get the fast release chuck which is a great idea. Now I am very disappointed with my buy - after a couple of years of light hobby work it suddenly stopped working - erratic start -up, then just cut out. Cleaned the brushes, no better, pulled it apart to clean the armature, then checked the bearings to see how they were - crap ! Major roughness in the rear bearing, so cleaned it with solvent and re-oiled, still rough so its for the bin. Can I press it off and replace - not easily thats for sure. Maybe with a small hydraulic press? But the forums say the bearings are specials ie Dremel-only size - so special, but not in quality. Had an idea, why not use the bearing from my old 395 Dremel armature - that model open-circuited the armature due to my overloading it, my fault, but the bearings were good. Guess what - the hi-spec, more power fab new 4300 has a 14.75mm OD bearing, the old 395 has an 18.75mm OD bearing - no longer the 395 went for years and the 4300 has s..t itself after much less use. And it was rough from the very beginning.
    I would never buy another Dremel. Clearly the company is run by people who are purely after the quick buck, not people who are wanting to produce a high quality, durable tool that can be relied on. Looking through the forums only confirms this belief - Dremel used to have a great name but now, you might as well buy the cheap Chinese one if you expect failure after a little use, better still go for an expensive high quality brand with good references.

    • @rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836
      @rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well the issue with dremel is the parts are so precise that there can be issues sometimes. But of any tool bought it is well worth buying extended warranty. These things can happen to any other brands of tools depending on the use and care of the tool or if there are minor issues that become a greater problem in the future.

    • @packhams4
      @packhams4 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure, but why go from a higher-spec bearing in the 395, with a less powerful motor, to a lower spec bearing in the 4200? Check out the armature - around 25% bigger [longer] in the 4200.To save 50c?
      I would guess there is approx. 50% reduction in bearing load capacity going from a bearing 15mm OD to a bearing with 19mm OD, same 6mm ID. We are talking about the rear bearing here - easy to replace if only Dremel sold them as a part, instead of selling a whole armature for $78 US++. Many Dremel tool users are fully capable of removing and pressing on a new bearing. All this system does is create more junk to be put in landfill. Not that Im saying Dremel are the only ones at all, it is the norm in this disposable manufacturing world.....

      I have removed the offending bearing, used a series of sharp taps with a flat-nosed punch while holding the armature in an aluminum vise [be persistent...] and about to refit new 626VVJAP [ 6x19x6mm] same as in a 389 and seems to fit the case recess perfectly and will test tonight - original is a 696ZZ63 [6x15x5mm] - will report back then.

    The tool you use to tighten the collet? On the rear there is a little tab. I suspect that's what you use to get the hanging hook out. No finger nails required. Great review, thanks for this, Ive just bought one on the basis of this and one other review Ive watched.

  • @cw2071
    @cw2071 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My first 4000 was great fun then it started just slowing to a stop and wouldn't hold a speed. Did all the suggested fixes, including new brushes and speed controller. Gave up and bought another one. 6 months later the same crap. Gave up and bought a Proxxon. It tends to heat up faster but it's reliable so much preferred.
    I mostly do polishing of small intricate metal parts with occasional cutting and drilling.

    • @rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836
      @rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Man that is bad to hear. I encountered many people at the beginning of last year that had many problems close to that issue. of either loud noises or slow speeds. i believe a bad batch of units went out. I'm hoping they will workout errors more often in the next year.

    What is the actual difference between 4000 and 4300? I mean, some say that 4300 is incompatible with some 4000 stuff, but is that changing? Will the same stuff be soon available for 4300 too? Is the 4000 being phased out? Or is the 4300 just some hippy version of 4000?

      @rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 4300 has a 1.8 motor versus the 1.6 in the 4000 model. But the 4300 is bigger than the 4000 and that might not be helpful with handling. Here is a great website which I found information about the two side by side.www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=toolspeek.com/dremel-4000-vs-4300/%3Famp&ved=2ahUKEwjslfGEutDoAhUF2KQKHZ28BeMQFjAGegQIDhAI&usg=AOvVaw1RHjg5ZCyQC1KQXosyKycx&cf=1

    • @rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836
      @rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Is it a hardwood? If so you should be operating around 30-35 thousand rpm. If you are using the spiral cutter it has to be tight in the shaft and be at high speed. Other wise the bit will slip burn and smoke usually. You can send me a email my address is in the description and show me a picture of what your working with.

      So from research and having my 4000. With the 4300 the dremel will be bigger, have a bigger higher amp motor, and will be more compatible with accessories and attachments. So I feel like if you got a 4300 it would be for a specific task cause maybe you need the little bit bigger motor or an attachment for it. But the 4000 hasn't failed me yet and has fitted lots of attachments.
