The Dremel Model 4000 Is Just About The Most Useful Of The Dremel Tools
The stability gained from the pencil-grip nose cap, the six foot cord and the replaceable motor brushes make the durable Dremel 4000 a joy to use. The output shaft can be rapidly and easily locked any time you need to change an accessory, while the speed settings can be simply adjusted accurately because the dial is easy to read. Weighing just over 16 oz, the Dremel 4000 is easy to use for extended periods of time without strain or discomfort.
If you are looking for a different Dremel tool there are many other Dremel tools including:
- the Dremel 300
- the Dremel 8000
- the Dremel 400
There are a wide variety of projects that the Dremel 4000 is well suited for making it a very versatile tool. In fact, it’s the only rotary tool compatible with all Dremel accessories and attachments, plus the MultiSaw and Planer attachments originally created for the 400 Series XPR rotary tool. In addition you can get the Sharpener attachment for tools and lawn mower blades; the addition of a pistol grip by using the Detailer’s Grip, resulting in more control for fine work; and a guide which allows you to stay straight on the edge by either fixing the tool or smoothly guiding the tool when sanding of grinding the edge of your project.
Some examples of how I have used the Dremel 4000 include: removing a rusty section of exhaust pipe on my wife’s car with the flex shaft attachment and a EZ-Lock metal disk, cleaning an aluminum casting with with a wire wheel to repair the compressor for an air-suspension pump, removing plastic with a ball-burr to replace a DC power jack in a laptop with a more readily available one.
This review will be addressing the Dremel 4000 with 2 different accessory options ranging from about $80.00 to $140.00 depending on when and who you buy from. The number and type of accessories and bits is the primary factor in the different pricing.
The secret of getting the best results with a Dremel is finding the righ bit or attachment coupled with the right speed. The Dremel 4000 has speeds from 5000 to 35,000 rpm and we already covered the fact that all accessories fit this tool. Generally less is better and using the many passes approach is more successful. Damage can result if you aggressively use too much pressure. By trying different speeds and accessories you will be able to find the perfect combination for the job at hand.
Weighing in at about 1 pound, you would not think that weight would be a problem, but in some situations the Dremel 4000 6/50 is just too heavy. When doing delicate fine work for hours at a time the tool can be just too heavy. Since all attachments fit you might want to resort to the air attachment. The Dremel 4000 6/50 is the most versatile because it contains the Dremel 4000 and the most accessories. With the power of the Dremel 4000 and the widest assortment of attachments and bits, there is almost no craft or art project that you won’t be able to execute. As the name states the Dremel 4000 6/50 comes with six attachments and 50 accessories and of course a carrying case for the whole shebang.
