After you burn out six or seven of them it starts to become apparent why jewelers always favor the much beefier flexible shaft grinder motors that hang overhead. Even a cheap used one will outlive any (not-at-all-cheap) self-contained Dremel, accept a wider variety of collets and burrs and pay for itself many times over. Doesn't take up much more space in the drawer, either.
