All Righty ... What's on the bench today?

Looks good James
, i like it has 1200rpm, if i had to fault mine i would say 900rpm is a bit slow, not a problem, but 1200 would be better.
 
WIP,

For all you 1/35 scale plane haters , i am :batthis 1/35 Heinkel 111

Slow progress because i am waiting on the Quinta studio 3d decal interior set (before of the end of next month 🤞)
Before i can glue the halves together .

I thinned the inside with a metal scraper for a more realistic look of the battle damage .
This side shows the incoming rounds other side has the outcoming damage .

No wobble Bob but i have to say i bought mine as its essential for MFH models but didnt have a lot of use for one before that .Its the sort of thing you buy off ebay about midnight after you put the whiskey glass down:)
 
I have one of the OLD Dremels which with the right chucks run true. I have several sets of chucks and several years ago I bought a set that go on and tighten by hand. That set mostly runs true and while the Dremel is a fair bit bigger and heavier, it doesn't tend to stall as easy as the smaller battery ones even at slow speeds. The external speed control gives a huge amount of control over speed and it will run slow enough that the Dremel freaks out and doesn't run right, but that slow is way under what I consider useable.
@moon puppy The big problems with Fordom and flex shafts is that you have to fight against the flex shaft. If you are doing anything DELICATE and the tool grabs the long flexible shaft jumps and you cannot hold it still when it does. Also they are EXPENSIVE!! Expect broken carbide bits if you use a flex shaft.
