catice maximus here again I was promising a performance comparison between various dremel rotary moto tools so this here it is I'm going to be comparing all these roto tools using cut-off wheels these guys right here I am gonna try to be as fair as possible because this little dribble only takes three thirty-seconds bits but I do happen to have a nice high performance fiber reinforced wheel and I'm going to match that on the other rotary tools using one of the dremel ez lock which also uses high performance fiber reinforced cutting wheels so it should be a fair comparison there and we're just going to work up from the power levels we're gonna start off with the model 260 first generation Dremel or I believe or an early generation Dremel we're going to use the ball bearing model 280 which is a second generation Dremel then we're going to use an early third generation Dremel mototool before they are called multi Pro the twenty-eight thousand rpm but it does have the increased amperage we're going from 0.5 amps 0.9 amps to 1.15 amps and it seems that's where Dremel settled that there are all these Dremel czar at 1.15 amps but this is twenty eight thousand rpm both of these are 30,000 rpm and I'm just including this dremel 300 just you know as a comparison of the newer models we'll be comparing the Black & Decker RTX which is average which does have a canned permanent magnet motor and they have a little rectifier in there and it really is they do make what seems like DC brush motors they are DC brushed motors that are 115 volts and then issues simple rectification then we'll go to actually I'll go to the modern woodworker just to show what a knockoff brand a decent knockoff brand to compare it then we'll be doing the lithium-ion cordless 10.8 volt and then we'll compare a couple other real high-performance a Rotozip Solaris 3 amp at 30,000 rpm drywall cut out 2 and then a Dewalt DW 660 which is five amps at 30,000 rpm just to show you know if you're doing a lot of work with Dremel x' and rotary tools that there are other options much higher power options if you need it people have talked about using those drywall cut out tools as you know simple homemade CNC spindles and they would work out great and they do make some large and powerful ones what I'll be demonstrating against it's something pretty simple I don't want to be too abusive on these and cutting heavy thick chain or heavy you know lock shackles or something so what I'm using is quarter inch diameter link with the wires quarter inch diameter grade three chain so it's a low grade chain but it's going to be real equal for all the tools because I'll just be cutting links off the same chain and I'll be using an appropriate amount of force where it feels like the tools at it's sweet spot where I'm not overloading it too much but I'm not going to go real light I want to try to make this review as balanced as possible so I'm gonna be paying careful attention to running each one of these tools at their full capability and obviously I'm going to the Solaris and the DeWalt I'm gonna be pressing pretty hard on in light of my some of my other demonstrations this time around I'll be using the Samba here we'll be using this hombre muse 6 inch by 8 inch vise so I mean this thing weighs 50 or 60 pounds I'm not gonna have any issues with the chain being held quite securely and actually found out that this was forged I kind of could tell from the some of the first surface finished but thankfully a very nice commenter left some nice details and found out how nice this hombre mu spices are and I didn't realize but apparently they are forged steel giant showed the forged steel anyway enough free talkin let me get set up here and we'll start cutting okay we're pretty much set up always wear safety glasses when doing cutting and grinding operations nothing puts a damper in the day like red-hot pieces of steel getting in the eyes anyway we'll go ahead and start off with the dremel model 260 this is rated at 0.5 amps at 120 115 volts even slightly less than 60 watts but although the power wire Matt runs out of right about 119 volts so we are going to be getting pretty much our 60 watts out of this tool and for anybody's information all these are actually plugged into a 1 AC 2 kilowatt rated isolation transformer and power conditioner so as far as the power that these tools are getting it's extremely clean and there's nothing else plugged into that unit so these motors are getting the best some of the best power that they've ever had let me go ahead and zoom in and we'll get started with this comparison here what that is way too much there we go and let's go ahead and start here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] as we can see a 60-watt dremel isn't really the highest performance tool to use for cutting chain line even though this is only a quarter inch and only grade three chain it took quite a bit of effort to get through that you could hear how I was really carefully trying to balance not bogging it down and try not to let the get blade get bound up these little tools won't get the job done it actually started to get a little bit warm there but obviously this is definitely for much finer work things like deburring in any kind of situations where you just need a small light tool so on the next tool two second here okay we're onto the model 280 one thing I was going to mention is older Dremel did use a larger call it the larger hex on the collet and then they sir go with a slightly smaller on the newer ones and they did make for a while these special wrenches which are actually double ended to size wrenches which I thought was always neat so the difference of the previous Dremel was 0.5 amps this is point 9 amps additionally it's of course ball bearing this is a dramatic improvement and part of the point of this review is this kind of go through the history of dremel and when they came out with the new generation how dramatic it would have been for people to upgrade and how that's really diminished over time and why you have to go is like drywall cut out tools with the difference between this in that 0.5 app1 it's gonna be pretty dramatic let me flip over that chain-link here alright here we go [Music] [Music] [Music] as you can see somebody who went with from the model 260 to this 280 would have been a near quantum leap in the increase in power and performance even though we less than doubled the power we tripled the performance of the tool it's kind of interesting to see how that worked the other one was just barely getting through it I had to really balance it this one just went right through and this would be the first generation of dremel that really I would say got the job done on the next tool here we are with the third generation model 275 type 5 so we go from 0.9 amps the 1.15 amps these are also ball bearings and really the beginning of the modern era of Dremel rotary tools where they started really taking the standardized interchangeable accessories that screw onto the front of the tool so we'll see how much a quarter amp of additional performance means I believe the older ball bearing was 25,000 rpm they don't print it and it's been kind of hard to find online I just got to dig through Google Images to figure out or they get a picture of the packaging so tell me but this is 28,000 rpm let's see how it does we're of course using the very same cutoff wheel from the bulb second-generation ball bearing all the way up through the rest of these tools is all the very same wheel [Music] [Music] when you're getting deep in the cot it's real critical that you try to make sure the blade is as straight as possible as you can see as soon as you bind up it wants a jerk from one side to the other but these fiber-reinforced Dremel wheels really are pretty tough and durable I really like them versus the traditional just centered wheels whenever you get off angle or it bounces out like that the blade just explodes that's why they come in packs of 25 because the blades are just you look at them wrong and they explode so I really like these fiber reinforced ones anyway this one did do better it did do it a little bit faster but the performance increase was much less dramatic than between the first and the second generation now we're gonna move on to the next model here we are the Dremel 395 t6 the best and last of the third generation the only difference these are still rated at 1.15 amps but versus the initial the third generation which was twenty eight thousand rpm at 1.15 amps this is maximum 35,000 rpm so we'll see if at those extra seven thousand rpms it's almost a 25% increase in speed we'll see how that does here and something I failed to mention earlier first and second generation Dremel collets are not interchangeable with later models either and it's something to be watchful for they tend to be aluminum in the newer Dremel from third generation on where they're actually machined and hardened steel and the first and second generations one of the ways they made a more cost competitive but the Kaulitz in the first and second generation really work smoothly and hold on really nice and being hard and steel they basically never wear out anyway time for the model 395 t6 let's see how it does [Music] [Music] [Music] it actually did pretty well and it did do it it's see it's starting to get much harder to tell the performance difference this did do it a little bit better a little bit faster but it was a small improvement over the earlier ones the big difference is the ergonomic grip and of course the variable speed on these anyway let's move on to the model 300 it should be basically exactly the same as this one here we are the model 300 this is the first of the generation that was no longer made in America and the ergonomics are I've done a review of this the ergonomics aren't as good they really kind of went backwards on these units that's why I say the 395 t6 is still the best Dremel ever made but let's see how this 300 does I haven't tried one of the new 3000 or 4000 series I'm not sure really what the difference is but someday I'll pick one up anyway here's the model 300 [Music] as I said these easy replacement blades you know they get a little wobbly because of the little quick change system and how that quick change system works is this has a retractable collar you retract it and then the blade comes up and has these two little notches and to tell you the truth once you start cutting the that cutting action actually causes the blade to become centered and that quick chain system if you're really like doing a lot of cut off operations is nice you just don't have to deal with the little wrench or anything so as we can see this unit performed you know admirably it did it just fine anyway let's move on to the next tool here we have the knockoff the pro woodworker it is rated at 30,000 rpm 125 watts it is a ball bearing unit I've looked inside and some I commented how this doesn't accept dremel accessories other some other knockoff dremel 's do but you do need to be aware this one definitely does not the fittings just fall on and off it's a small far smaller diameter so this one won't accept dremel accessories but one of the commenters or subscribers had mentioned that the wend tools do so it's just something to be aware of is that when you buy one of these knockoffs you kind of be aware that there aren't they didn't they don't all take dremel accessories but this is just to kind of show what a knockoff one does versus all the you know genuine drumlin units and we'll run this at full power as the we've done with the rest of them who let me flip that chain all right here we go the pro woodwork on top to say this little problem web worker for some reason always seems to run really smooth [Music] so even though this is rated at the same power as a dremel we could see that it did perform pretty well but it was bogging down just a little bit more than a standard dremel which is to be expected the motor isn't doesn't probably halves quite as much overload and overcurrent capability under tougher situations as a genuine Dremel but just to show they work just fine as well now I have this older black & decker RT x RT X 3s this is the one that uses a canned 115 volt DC motor that's rectified and it's actually not that uncommon Ryobi awhile ago had a very very small little 3/8 drills one the smallest corded drills made and it use a similar situation 115 volt permanent magnet DC motor with the little rectifier ahead of it the difference here is this is rated at 2 amps which is you know a quarter of a horsepower so we'll see if it really you know we'll see if that 2 amps really translates into significantly more performance it you know just on the face value to an sources 1.15 should be a pretty darn big difference even though it only runs at 30,000 RPM versus 35,000 let's see how it does [Music] [Music] [Music] I can tell you I was pressing pretty hard you can see by the amount of sparks that we're flying yeah you know I had a these comments about my hands don't look like they do work I think it's hilarious you know how many people I've seen run and say ouch when their hands are being used as a spark deflector so I don't know what to really say but being around sparks and doing this kind of stuff is what my hands have always done I just happen to wash them it's amazing your hands can get clean when you wash them anyway I can tell you this actually had quite a bit of torque and even though it may not be quite the expected difference of 0.85 amps this tool definitely have the torque even surprised me a little bit this thing is actually rightfully stout it is a rightfully stout rotary tool we're gonna go and compare against the 10.8 volt lithium ion now this should be a pretty dramatic difference just a second here all right on to the dremel 10.8 volt lithium ion cordless this is the model 800 it's also rated at 35,000 rpm and we can see that I have a full battery in here so we're gonna do a proper test let's get on with it oh we overloaded it here interesting it has a overload protection so you don't hurt oh maybe it's my battery just a second Optima those batteries are several years old and I partial replace them I could see the indicator dropping off pretty well so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna top off one of these batteries and start anew on this test for me it'll be a few minutes for you it'll just be a one-second pause see you in a minute all right we're back here with a fully charged or almost fully charged battery and now let's see how this cordless dremel does on this change [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] come on now well I have some old batteries well that was kind of a sorry test sorry about that I apparently didn't realize I don't use this are for those kind of heavy cutting operations it'll obviously do it but my batteries are five six years old and so they're just getting tired I should have charged those batteries up before I got into this but you can see how it's really the the power supply then motor does pretty well and with new batteries it would be just fine and it is surprisingly torquey so now we're gonna go ahead and go with this Rotozip Solaris we're gonna go something truly high-performance you can see how quickly we can cut through some of this chain using this and that same all we all we've been using for all this testing here okay we're gonna do the three amp 30,000 rpm Rotozip Solaris and I didn't realize but these Solaris ha's were actually made in the USA so they do perform well this is a tool that's powerful enough where if I get that blade caught up and jammed it very well may explode this has this is a huge tool to be using with a dremel wheel but now you'll be able to see what some truly high power rotary tools do when you're trying to cut through grade 3/4 inch chain as you can see I was pressing about as hard as I was comfortable with and being able to maintain a reasonable amount of control but as you can see it just went right through that like a hot knife through butter I could barely even get it to slow down a little bit from its top speed much less actually get it to bog down now we'll move on to the final tool but I did want to mention again it would be neat if Dremel had this option is the ability to use this like just a normal cylindrical body rotary tool or being able to have the handle you may be doing grinding operations or various cutting operations or you can have the handle and just have a ton of control or just flip the little lover here and pop that handle off if you don't want it I think that it was just an absolute genius feature for these tools and unfortunately Rotozip appears to be the only people who ever really did that did that and that would be on this Solaris just wanted to point that out again it's one of my favorite power tool features as well as the fact that so intelligently everything our little collets a whole pile of bits everything can all fit right in the handle and it has a real pretty good steel detent in there that holds the wrench so man I really like this tool even more now here we have the wall 660 drywall cut out tool this is five amps so two more amps the whole Black & Decker RTX amount of power on top of what the road is up dis that so I'm not going to be able to fold anywhere near enough pressure to bog down a motor like this but some people may be doing some operations with eighth inch bits and maybe some heavy grind not exactly sure maybe you're porting cast-iron heads or something like that and a tool like this you may get into a situation otherwise you'll be using quarter inch shank die grinders and tools more for that purpose this whole review is just to demonstrate what can be done as far as cutting off and performance when it comes to a thin shank tools at all these drums and stuff use anyway here we are five [Applause] I can't believe the blade didn't explode when I did that so pressing that hard you can see that our blade diameter shrank dramatically just using the wall and using the Rotozip because I was pressing so hard and on this you could tell that I was just barely getting the motor started to load at all much less bogged down so there are some really high-performance rotary tools let me zoom out here and that was kind of the point of this whole review is just to kind of demonstrate you know how fast any given rotary tool works and I do apologize about the cordless dremel I didn't do it quite justice but really it runs about the same amount of power I'd say is a second-generation Dremel where it has you know maybe anywhere from 50 to 80 watts I would say somewhere 75 Watts peak output although I'm sure it overheat it is kind of nice that it does shut itself down protect the battery that kind of thing and to tell you the truth I'm not entire I'm sure it was just the battery performance that it was shutting down on but it may also partially due to internal protection so if there's too much overloading on the motor and what kind of makes me think that is when I turn it off you have to wait you know about 2 or 3 seconds before you turn it back on if it shuts down like that and you immediately just turn it off and turn it back on it won't activate you have to give it a couple three seconds so that's what kind of makes me think it's possibly overload protection which was also getting in the way on that cordless Dremel anyway sorry for the long video but there are distance there's certainly there are some rotary tool comparisons but there was nothing like this we were just comparing a bunch of different ones in different generations different brands from the basic 60 watt Dremel all the way up through a 5 amp Dewalt which is you know 5/8 of a horse are over half a horsepower in 1/8 inch drive tool and you can see it performance comparison now and anybody who may watch this video can say you know I really like jungles and their accessories but you know I do do some heavy do some heavier duty work with my dremel so maybe I need something more like this where I'll really get it done or maybe I do like the the Dremel and the performance that is shown is just fine and maybe I might be interested in the Black & Decker RTX over there what she really did perform well that thing actually has a respectable amount of torque and was easily the highest performing out of all of them outside of this Rotozip and the DeWalt so anyway that's the end of this cutting performance comparison of dremel mototool rotary tools and I promise this after all the reviews I've done on the dremel so I really appreciate everybody watching and subscribing and 99.9% of the comments I've had some real special comments or recently but it's only from a couple of people overall I have been just extremely satisfied with the support and just all the great comments that everybody leaves so once again if you haven't subscribed please do and to all my subscribers thank you so much for subscribing catta until next time caddis maximus out [Music]
