Frederick,

if you ever consider buying such a tool, choose a Proxxon. It is really easy to find resellers in Belgium. Price is similar to the Dremel ones BUT I personally consider the quality of those german tools to be superior. I used for namy years a cheap and small Maxicraft tool purchased in a DIY shop. I don't know why I waited so long to buy a good quality tool...!

This kind of tool is similar to a good airbrush: when you spend your hardly earned pennies to obtain one, you often wonder before but never after! I know now that I prefer to buy a good tool rather than another kit...

I prefer Proxxon because speed controller is not an electronic one controlled by a small knob. I prefer the sturdier "mechanical" way used by this German tool to control speed. Morever speed range is quite large. I know at least five other modellers who finally decided to purchase this tool. None regrets it...

I think you're in contact with the Amay guys, aren't you? Ask for feedbacks from other modellers!

Just my 2 cents.

No, I know some of them but 'm not!

There're very nice guys but i'm the deputy president of another local section for more or less ten years! Hence, I don't have the time to be in two different sections... Too bad because I'm living in...Huy!

I use the Black & Decker Minicraft range of drills and accessories...they double up as pretty good mini lathes as well!
