BTW, have you seen the small DC powered clone at Harbor Freight? It
runs on 12 VDC, and comes with an AC adapter. I was thinking about
using one (or more, with different sized drills) with a homebrew CNC
machine to drill PC boards.


I have one of those HF pseudo-dremels. Not very torque-y at all. Bogs
down very easily. A very light touch is required.

But that's the point, those things have really high speed to do the
work, and you shouldn't be using much pressure.


the motor on a Dremel is a lot bigger than the motor on the Harbor Freight
tool.
