I would probably try a replacement of the same one with the idea that maybe this was just a lemon. So, I bought this one which worked great for two months.
It just went kaput. Bought this tool as a woodburner in November, 2009.
I have a couple of older woodburning tools that I use occasionally, but they were never high enough in wattage to get hot enough and would take forever to complete a project. It quit heating and I'd like to return it.
It certainly should have survived a lot longer. Now it doesn't heat at all.
But, if it happens again, I would never buy this product again.
It was everything we expected and more. My husband has other dremel tools and they are great.
Pretty handy for wood burning art and craft design. The pen rest needs work though. I replaced with a heavier more stable pen rest.
I purchased this tool specifically for cutting foam balls used for Christmas ornaments. After cutting only five 3" balls, the base of the knife blade has bent. I guess the heat was responsible for this and the tool kit will have to be returned or exchanged. I am disappointed in Dremel.
I've been using the tool no more than a total of 5 or 6 hours at the most and it went cold on me. You get what you pay for.
