Found a Dremel on Craigslist.com...

Is the Dremel model 275 type 5 a good one? As I recall, the 395, which I have, is their worst one, as it has the long nose to accomodate the plastic transmission with the two sets of bearings located below the motor, closer to the nose.

It is my understanding that the other models are okay. The lousy transmission sleeve is not present, or at the very least, the bearings are placed 1 at the nose, and the other at the TOP of the motor. SOmething like that..... I know my 395 is not as well engineered as others.

So is the 275 type 5 a good one?

Thanks
