Pledge leader: Tom Hodder

We have a Dremel press, and a bunch of accessories, but apparently no working Dremel at the moment.

I saw a thread on the mailing list, and someone asked me down in the workshop, where we keep the Dremels now. It seems a pretty important bit of kit for certain projects, especially if you are making PCBs, so I am starting a pledge to get another one.

Uses

  • Drilling pcb holes
  • Finishing cylindrical holes in 3d printed objects (for bolts and rods etc)
  • Removing support material from 3d printed parts
  • For detailed work, e.g. polishing
  • Light cutting with disk


Given they are a fairly lightweight bit of kit for the sort of use the hackspace is likely to put it to, I am open to suggests on which model and (alternative) brand might be best for the purpose. I've kicked off the pledge with £20

Choices

See What to use for PCB Drilling?, Electro Tech forum.
