Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The dremel 300 is much more versatile than its predecessor. The foot pedal is great for drilling precision holes in metal.

Easy to use. Well balanced and high quality. Very satisfied so far.

The sr flexshaft motor works as advertised. Finish on motor housing was scuffed up pretty good. This thing has lots of torque.

Muy bueno por el precio está mejor aún. Bought this to make jewelry.

The booklet has the name of the name brand engraved on it. Read the manual with adjusting the sheath at 3/4 and making sure it not being used in a tight angle.



Cons

The pictures on amazon show a 1. Not 1. The instruction manual is a reprint of the foredom manual. Even tells you to contact foredo for service, which will only get you a scolding. Thankfully was only nicked slightly on the knuckle.

The poor amperage of the motor lacks power to run it if you flex it too much. The handpiece has quite a bit of vibration in it felt when flexing the shaft as you would during normal usage. Shaft cord looks a little flimsy, no external protective steel...  Read More

Highlights

Quality


So far, so good with the foot pedal control!


Works well and has served me well.


Whatever the reason, you get the exact same quality of a nearly 300 dollar device for 73 bucks!


Possibly without the quality control after using this one for a while.

Price


Nothing to dislike price is great .


For that price you can't go wrong.

Packaging/appearance


The unit came in a generic foam packaging.


Anything using a lot of sideways force will eventually cause the chuck to wear out while the shank slowly slides out of the handpiece.

Competitiveness


Great value and it's made by foredom!


Pretty sure this is a foredom design being produced by an unlicensed chinese factory.


My first introduction to a foredom flex shaft unit was back in 1978.
