I am using dremel, no problem with cutting 3mm metal if not more with the cutting wheel. Good to have, I used it to remove 2 heads from my octo with brown jelly disease. Should have taken action earlier but don't know what to do till I read up on this disease. Otherwise I just need to remove 1 head.

i bought the dremel. WHich i regret as i should be getting proxxon. As i bought the dremel for doing acrylic works.

Dremel made in mexico, lots of attachment (not cheap), attachment not necessary to buy back dremel as lots of OEM. It has high RPM (15000), good for cutting steel but low torque.

Proxxon made in germany, do have attachment but not as many as dremel, as they design different tools for differents usage unlike dremel. It has lower RPM (5000) but high torque.

Thus make it ideas to cut acrylic as high RPM will get hot and melt the acrylic easily.

Depend on your usage.

I am using dremel. Personally i find dremel seems to be more solid in design and grip and has a variety of attachments and support like flexi shaft, benches etc. Depending on your applications, 5000rpm will give you more control at slower speeds. Most of the ranges are 10000 above for cutting etc. Can try Sg tooling see if better prices as they have a wider range.
