Default Question

Hey guys, im thinking in buying a Dremel 300 or 4000. Do you think is a good starting tool to do some trailers?

Thanks for all the advices and tips you can send me...

I would get the 4000. It is a heavier duty one of the 2 models. As far as for making trailers goes, it would be a start but I think that you will want something different such as a jig or scroll saw to cut the metal.

I used to use mine for cutting anything and everything as I dont have a bandsaw, etc. Now I run a laser for a living so I just cut anything I can on it lol. Seriously though, my Dremel is still my most used tool.
