I'm looking to buy a Dremel or similar. Any recommendations please? Are
the budget/cheapie versions comparable with the top-end? How much
vibration is there when using these? I'm thinking of using it to clean
up soft-fired greenware (porcelain that ain't fully fired so is still
reasonably workable, but fairly fragile). I'm just wondering if they do
produce too much vibration, the SFGW might shatter, or pieces splinter
away.


If you're going to go for this type of tool, it's worth getting a
decent Dremel. I've had a cheap clone in the past and the bearings
don't hold up.

In the end I bought one of the Dremels with electronic speed control
and it's very good. You can cut the speed right down for delicate
work.
