Customer Review: A Decent Tool Under The Right Conditions
Summary: 3 Stars

There didn't seem to be any reviews of the Dremel tool on fake pumpkins, so here's my two cents. I purchased the Dremel Pumkin Carver after searching for a tool built for fine detail work on the increasingly popular fake foam pumpkins, and I was a little underwhelmed. Depending on what you want to do with it, the 1/8" cutter included with the tool was a little cumbersome and best suited for removal of large areas of the pumpkin. I went out to buy separate cutters to work more efficiently. The design makes it slightly difficult maneuver in tight spaces, and the low speed only causes the tool to bounce around the face of the pumpkin, so stick with high speed for better control. Plus, while not entirely unexpected, be prepared for a lot of dust if you want to go down this road. Not a bad tool, but in the end I've gone back to the X-Acto knife to carve the fake jack-o-lantern.

Pumpkin Carving Kit

Even the least artistic among us can have the coolest jack-o'-lanterns in the neighborhood this year with Dremel's pumpkin- carving kit. It's a neat, buzzy little unit that carves off layers of pumpkin flesh to let the light glow through. It isn't meant to cut all the way through the pumpkin, and the effect is perfectly spooky. Powered by four AA batteries, it's got two speeds for superior pumpkin-stock removal, 6,000 and 12,000 rpm, so it's not a child's toy.
	Step 1 Use a knife to cut a lid for your pumpkin. Angle the knife towards the center of the pumpkin as you cut so that the lid will rest on top of the pumpkin after the cut has been made. Use a large spoon to clean out the entire inside of the pumpkin. It is best if the walls of your pumpkin are approximately 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick.
	Step 2 Based on the size of your pumpkin, you can enlarge or reduce the size of your template using a copy machine if needed. Using spray-on adhesive, apply your template to the pumpkin.
	Step 3 Turn the tool on low and begin tracing the areas to be removed. You can use the high setting for large area material removal. The key is to remove approximately the same amount of material on your whole pumpkin to achieve a uniform depth.
	Step 4 Once you've finished, remove the paper template, place a light source, such as a candle, in the pumpkin, dim the lights, and see how well the light shines through your carving. If you want more light to shine through, turn the lights back on, remove the candle and remove additional material from your pumpkin.
