Re: Dremel alternatives

John,

Old dremels were 3/4-16 thread. New ones are 3/4-12. Taps in both
sizes are available quite inexpensively from msc,travers,etc.

Hope this helps.

P.S. What I miss is the smaller body diameter, and mostly, the "dial"
speed control. That slide lever is @#$%^, IMO. Haven't tried the
digital readout yet.
