Well, you're probably right on a technical level.

But as a practical matter, I just don't rely on Dremels to do more
than occasional small stuff.

The one time I did try to do some real work with a Dremel it
overheated, then fried. I replaced it and had the same problem.

So I saved up my pennies and over the years bought:

- a Foredom for most of the occasional light stuff.

- something called Scintilla. Swiss, and I think they were
taken over by Bosch. I use this for almost everything else.

- an Air Turbine tool which I never seem to need.

- a Porter-Cable laminate trimmer. I use this when I
need a 1/4" shaft cutter.


My suggestion to the OP is to save your pennies and...

It would appear to me conditions you stated re. regulation, are normal for the Dremel tool. Without
knowing the amount of "strain" (load ??) placed on the tool the speed reduction you see is probably
normal.
