I'm on my second electronic variable speed control inside my Dremel
model 395 tool. This one just crapped out with the same temperamental
symptoms as the last one. I need to use the tool tomorrow night, and
would like to bypass the internal variable speed circuitry to simplify
it; maybe buy an external control later.

There aren't any wiring diagrams I could find on the Dremel site. I'm
thinking if I had one for the model 275 tool (single speed) and the
395 (electronic variable speed), I might be able to make the 395 into
a 275 by just jumpering some wires. I'll probaqbly need to at least
retain the variable speed assembly, since the brushes fit into it.

Can anyone help?

Obvious, it's junk! Buy a new model dremel.
or better yet, by one of those no name brands
like I did, looks like it's made in the same place
but cost much less!
$29.00 for a complete set of cutters, stones with
variable speed unit.
I think it was "All Trade" or "TradeAll" or something like that.
