Pledge:Dremel-pledge-2015

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.

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
