Customer Review: Dremel 400 overheating issues
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm on my 4th Dremel 400 after the first three burned their motors out during light to medium use. The first one only lasted 2 days and 'died' while carving a cow bone pendant - hardly what I would consider a demanding task. Subsequent replacements have ended up the same way, despite my taking great care not to obstruct the cooling vents with my hand. The problem seems to be exacerbated by using the flex-shaft attachment (extra load plus you can't feel the unit overheating).
One minute you're happily working away, the next you smell the acrid stench of burning plastic and look down to see smoke pouring from the unit.
Since I only use these for hobby/jewelry work, I am very disappointed and frustrated with constant returns and the loss of use that follows. Upon an investigation, it seems many have suffered the same problems and written about them on various online forums.
Since the 3rd one burned out, I have given up on Dremel, which is a shame since I have used them for 15 years and it only seems the more recent models that lack the quality I once enjoyed.
I received a Proxxon IB/E today and have just taken it out the box and tried it out. I will write a review on it after a few weeks but it seems to be much better made and runs very smoothly - also, the collets are steel and thicker walled. So far it looks good!
