Dremel has a new tool called the 'Advantage 9000-04 Rotary Saw':
http://www.dremel.com/productdisplay/tool_template2.asp?SKU=9000-04&Color=99CCFF

It is approx 1 HP (4 amps) and has continuous variable
speeds from 10,000-35,000 rpm, 1/4" and 1/8" collets

These highest speeds might be ok for 3D contouring
and moldwork in aluminum.

Can anyone who has one of these things comment on
its robustness?
