Dremel, established in the year 1932, is a company behind the legendry rotary tools you find around yourself. These highly successful rotary tools come from the innovative and entrepreneur Albert J. Dremel who held a wide range of patents, 55 to be precise. These patents by the founder of Dermel included everything from electric erasers to the first design of the now standard walk behind rotary lawn mower. This speaks volumes of the company’s philosophy of quality craftsmanship and innovation, which is followed till date.
The rotary tools manufactured by the company are extremely versatile tools and are used expansively by model makers, hobbyists, and do-it-yourselfers. They may be likened to the pneumatic die grinders used in the metalworking industry by tool or moldmakers. One of the most successful Dremel tool, the rotary tool rotates a bit, which is held in a collet, at high speed. The Dremel uses its speed as opposed to torque to get the task done. By inserting an appropriate bit the tool can perform multiple tasks like drilling, grinding, sharpening, cutting, cleaning, polishing, sanding, routing, carving and engraving. The tool is available in both battery-powered and corded models. Recent additions to the line of Dremel options include a miniature planer attachment and a saber saw attachment that lets the Dremel act much like a small reciprocating saw.
