Dremel 4300 - One Year on update Review!

[@thatoneguy454c]

Pro tip: make sure you chuck your quick disconnect tools all the way to the base of the locking mechanism. Spring tension and centrifugal force are the only things holding them in. I left about 1/2 inch of shaft sticking out to give myself more reach and had a diamond wheel fly across my garage and through the sheetrock.

Greetings from Texas, USA. Thank you for your thorough, no nonsense review. You settled it for me and I just bought the 4300.

[@spicy110]

Glad I could help!

[@davestelling]

Considering this today. I restore antique clocks and sharpen knives & tools. Needing an all-purpose rotary tool and am on a tight budget. Hope this is the best choice...

[@nathant7437]

Thank you so so so SOOOOO much for this. I just watched your previous video, the WHOLE video too which happens very rarely, and I came here for the conclusion one year update. I just bought me a 9/64 set of this and a total newbie into this kind of tool. I bought it wanting a tool that can help me cut stuff or make bigger holes and whatnot, like on plastic. Not sure if this is the tool for such but I am happy to explore on the new possibilities. Willing to experiment, make a bit of a mess, some mistakes and have fun learning!

[@philipfarnam6013]

Wow! An actually intellegent review from an actual user -- at last. Thanks! Good job!

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I’m here because I just watched you previous review of the 4300. and you put in a link. Thanks for the reviews as I needed to make sure that I am purchasing the right model.

[@melli9277]

thanks for sharing, made my decision to buy one 4300 after seeing your vidwo.

[@peter-e2q]

Saw your previous review only yesterday, didn’t realize was ages ago. Just spotted this review now. Been promising myself a Dremel, your one YT review has clinched it!!

[@spicy110]

I am still using this tool all the time and it is still going great! The amount of different jobs it has helped me with at this point is pretty impressive.

[@mykolashatkovskyi8817]

Great Dremel review. Again. Thank you.

[@steadyeddie7453]

Thanks for the follow up to your first Dremel 4300 video. Plan to have the 4300 a long time. It has 50% more power than your previous 3000. Have you noticed it doesn't get as hot if you load it or run it a long time? Also, those Dremel brand cut off wheels are a blessing. The have that metal reinforcing ring in the middle. I have never had one explode like so many of the other standard ones that use screw mount. Cheers. ps- wear a mask when using the sanding drums as the abrasives that wear off become airborne and will end up in your lungs. Especially those Chinese sanding drums. They use formaldehyde in the glue for the abrasive.

[@steadyeddie7453]

UPDATE- If you have the EZ twist nose cap on your tool be sure it is screwed all the way down and tight before running the tool. Mine loosened in use and the collet holder caught it and spun it at 10,000 RPM, melting the plastic threads on the tool and the nose cap. Now I can't use any of the accessories that mount under the nose cap 😞

[@tonycummings4588]

thanks for this, it's down to £95 today only on amazon so I just grabbed it based on this review.

[@vfpdesign]

Thanks! That was good, too. Unfortunately, I already ordered the Tacklife. But fortunately, I don’t plan on using it NEARLY as much as you do. I figure if I actually USE the thing a lot (only have 3 minor things I need it for at the moment), I will get the Dremel. Somebody else said “everybody” says they break, too. Yours seems to be great, so I will keep that in mind. Thanks again!

[@AviusL]

Very nice video dude. Cheers! I'm probably gonna order the Dremel 4000 4/65 myself and am looking forward to learning about it. Will definitely remember to not run the wire brushes too fast. Don't wanna end up looking like a hedgehog. Hard pass on that. Lol. Cheers!

[@ShamelGataje]

Thanks bro. Good review 👍

[@greenguy1408]

Super helpful thanks so much for the tips and honest review. It's funny I had the taclife with flexsheft just fail on me while carving stone so I ordered the dremel 4300 even though I read some negative reviews on it. Nice to see it's still holding up for you a year later!

[@Thunderous71]

Had the same one for ages too. Can't fault it.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

You write in past tense. Are you not using it anymore?

[@Thunderous71]

@@charisma-hornum-fries Sorry Have had... Its very good if your after one. Hunt around for a deal though.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

@@Thunderous71 I did. I couldn’t find the premium case but it has become my go to every time I need to do anything really. I’ve even removed an entire walk-in closet with it. I hope Bosch gets dremel to make a coffee maker bit one day, but that’s probably a hard design 😀

[@altypeRR]

I’ve actually got one since your original review and compared to the older dremel 3000 I have (which has been apart several times to unwind the wire a bit each time to make it work again) it’s so much better. Agree on the ez click discs. They also do one for the sanding drums I spotted the other day.

[@spicy110]

Yes I have some of those drums too, they work great. I tried to find one for this video but couldn't find it 😔

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Is that the blue one?

[@russellsnape7616]

Top class review, have recently purchased, one concern I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with... Within the 5000-10000 rpm range my dremel seems to almost struggle, for example (very anti h&s here) I can quite easily stop the rotation by applying very little pressure with my finger against the chuck... As a novice to the rotary drill world is this normal?, anything above 10,000 is fine, but under it seems kinda jittery almost as if its struggling.

[@steadyeddie7453]

Russell- Did you break in the new tool? You have to run a new Dremel for about 5 minutes UNLOADED in order to seat the brushes. When I first turned on my new 4300 the motor was erratic, or jittery in your words. I ran it for a good 5 minutes and it smoothed right out. Gotta seat those brushes. Page 17 under Maintenance in the Operator Manual. Cheers

[@wendydennis7342]

I see you have the long hand attachment, what part product is it? I bought the one for the 4200 and is not suitable for the 4300 /

[@Omnivorous1One]

Are you able to put a regular non light nose cap on the 4300?

[@michaelclark6610]

Any advice on cutting glass and grinding glass to shape with the Dremel? Specifically what bits work better than others. No worries If you don’t have any experience. Just thought I’d ask! :) keep up the vids!

[@spicy110]

Yes, sadly I have not done any glass work with one.

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

I just picked up a Taklife for £20 on Amazon in a flash 50% off sale. I know it aint going to be up for super heavy work but for PC case modding I figure it's a good first tool.

[@spicy110]

cant really go too wrong for 20 quid!

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

@@spicy110 Thats what I'm hoping for. Its a first time tool too, so if ti breaks due to use I know I'll use another so I'll spend a bit more.

[@T-roccBABY]

How'd yours hold up and how often do you use it? I grabbed one of those Chinese Amazon specials but quickly returned it because the tool and it's pieces all seemed incredibly cheap, plus the reviews are fake/paid for, as with all cheap Chinese knockoffs and especially on Amazon (it's like a plague these days.) Then again, I'm doing bone, wood, antler, metal and possibly minerals type work so I'd need something reliable. If you're only cutting into computer shells every blue moon then the tak might work for you but quality in the end is key, and it won't hold up under constant use comparatively to a Dremel. For double the price and top of the line the quality, I've now got a Dremel 4300 for $90 CAD. Glad I held off and wound up getting the proper rotary tool, I honestly never thought I'd see a 50% sale on a Dremel, super stoked! Now I only wish the extension/precision flexi bit was also on sale haha. Unfortunately still the full $50.

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

@@T-roccBABY Envious of that deal! I'd say if you're doing daily or even weekly work on those materials, get a proper one. I use mine maybe twice a month. Works like a charm, gets hot after a while, but she's still chooching strong. Cutting 1-2 mm steel takes an AGE because it burns through discs very quickly, using plunge cutting instead of groove, but I'm ham fisted. It takes like 1 minute to change the disc for 20-30 seconds of cutting. I'm also using the black cut-off discs, which I think may be incorrect, but it's all I have atm as none of my local hardware stores stock stuff for Dremel/rotary tools. I had a cashier call my tiny cut-off wheel "cute" lmao.

[@dyvel]

Have you considered something like the Bosch Professional GRO 12V-35? I've like many others heard about dremels dying after less than a year, and can't really figure out how common that is. Have you used the plastic stuff like shields, guides and so on to a degree that you can evaluate them? They worry me.

[@spicy110]

I have not tried them no, I do wonder what difference there is inside as Bosch owns Dremel.

[@kevinhood9781]

Dremel is owned by bosch

[@Neuman357]

i bought this model dremel and my first impression was about the vibration while using it. Even without a tool equiped to the chuck, is it normal for this thing to have a hand numbing vibration or did i buy a lemon?

[@spicy110]

No it should me pretty smooth.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Time and usage is on your side. It will become smoother.

[@KevinOpar]

Mine kinda revs and vibrates at slow speeds like an old motorcycle. I just got it. I hope it’s ok.

[@Neuman357]

@@KevinOpar I returned mine pretty soon after that post. The lady at customer service said she gets a lot of returns on the Dremel tools for exactly the reason I stated.

[@HippoDrones]

I love my Dremel, I am on my third one now as the motors burnt out on the other 2 cutting plastic.

[@HtorneDK]

loved it

[@tofubutcher7456]

I'm not new mate

[@spicy110]

Well no not on patreon you wouldn't be haha 😀

Is this worth it over the 4000?

[@spicy110]

All I can say is I still have it and it is still going strong.

3 minutes and 40 seconds in and still no review. cut the first 4 minutes out and cut the last 4 minutes. done
