I finally had the chance to use my Dremel 4000 tool rotary tool to help my neighbor Dena strip paint off of metal chairs that she was refurbishing. Impressed with how easy it is to change out the attachments and the variety of attachments that are available, I can see the Dremel 4000 easily becoming my new favorite tool project tool. The Dremel 4000 is so fun to use that it makes me want to think of projects to use it on. So, I asked Dremel to mail me their DVD entitled Dremel Projects, which features 70 projects to use a Dremel rotary tool on. These clips are also available on the Dremel YouTube.com channel as well as their website at: Dremel.com.

The Dremel 4000-2/31 comes with two attachments and 31 accessories. The Dremel 4000-2/31 features the new sanding/grinding attachment which is compatible with all Dremel rotary tools with a threaded nosepiece. This attachment helps to guide a work piece to a securely mounted rotary tool or guide the tool along the edge of a flat or beveled surface. The Dremel 400-2/31 kit is available at Home Depot for $79.

The other 31 accessories that are included with the Dremel 4000 are used for carving/engraving, cutting, grinding/sharpening, cleaning/polishing, sanding, routing and pretty much any small detail work you can imagine.

The Dremel 4000 is the latest and greatest in the line of Dremel rotary tools and can use all existing Dremel accessories and attachments plus the high-performance attachments to complete the widest range of projects. It has a nice slim, ergonomic body which gives you a 360-degree grip zone for control. The Dremel 4000 features a variable speed motor with electronic feedback for consistent speed under load which means once you hit your work piece with the tool, the tool doesn't lose speed with the workload. The Dremel 4000 also features a quick collet lock for fast accessory changes (see Dena's video below), replaceable motor brushes, and comes with a longer 5-year warranty, compared to their other models.

Why is it named the Dremel 4000? What does the 4000 mean?
Previously, Dremel's numbered all of our rotary tools in increments of 100. Starting with this tool, they are shifting to increments of 1000 for their numbering system. 4000 indicates that this rotary tool is at the top of their rotary tool line. www.dremel.com
