Slow down Dremel

Stumpy · 2013-11-21T03:33:30+00:00

I've got an old single speed Dremel that scares everybody in the house because it's too noisy. Too cold and dark to work in the garage. Will an inexpensive lamp dimmer work OK, or would a Powerstat autotransformer be much better? I would prefer to use the smaller and cheaper dimmer but assume that the dimmer would clip the AC sinewave, Powerstat would not.

A die grinder?

Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

Now you tell me.

You're right it would be cheaper and quieter. But on the other hand, I'm using a Dremel in the dining room now. I feel like I'm getting away with something.

SWMBO would have my guts for garters if I brought a Dremel into the dining room. :-)
