Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 4447 Registered: Jan-06 | I don't think they make a single speed genuine Dremel. Honestly I cannot live without my Dremel and used it in every stage of car audio fabrication. Go with the XPR 400 http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051& langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100609465&N=10000003+10401010 Polo.. |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 4448 Registered: Jan-06 | Hey Chad WTF would you cut 3/4" MDF with a Dremel for, isn't that where a saw would be used? LMFAO. A Dremel is good fabricating/finish work. Yes if you really needed to you could cut MDF but I would use a regular saw for that.. JMHO. Polo. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 20643 Registered: Oct-05 | its not like ima cut mdf with a dremel to build a box or anything. just want to know if its strong enough to cut it. also after i fabricate something and i need to make some adjustments, i might need to cut here and there where a saw won't be able to reach. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 20669 Registered: Oct-05 | not too many pawn shops around here kev. i think ima just get one at home depot or lowes. i really think a dremel is a tool that can be used in many applications. doesn't always have to be about car audio stuff. its would be a good investment buying one. |
