The Dremel 4000 is the flagship rotary tool that the Dremel brand makes. It is also one of the most popular rotary tools on the market today. It is a quality tool, and that can do most of the jobs that you can expect from a rotary tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have used mine extensively for over a year now, so it’s about time that I write an in-depth review so you can know if it is worth investing your hard-earned money in this tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel 4000 is a great rotary tool for when you need that extra bit of power. The Dremel 4000 can be used for a wide variety of tasks like sanding, cutting metal, polishing, cutting wood, woodcarving, cleaning, rust removal and so much more. The Dremel 4000 is an essential part of any worker’s tool kit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Let’s dive into the review, and I’ll show you why the Dremel 4000 is my go-to rotary tool <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dremel 4000 – The Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important that we get familiar with the Dremel 4000. Here is some info about the tool. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Dremel 4000 has a powerful motor.<\/strong> This means it will be able to do i wide variety of hard tasks without bogging down the motor but within the limits of a rotary tool. I once tried cutting a 1\/2-inch stainless steel bar with it, but that was the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main weakness<\/strong> of the Dremel 4000 is the relatively steep price point<\/strong> compared to other rotary tools. Depending on what you want to include in the kit the Dremel 4000 will usually set you back 100 dollars<\/strong> or more. But you get what you pay for, with the Dremel 4000 you have a reliable tool that will last for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Common
Common Uses Of The Dremel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel 4000 has a wide variety of uses<\/strong>, some of the main uses of the Dremel 4000 are: Sanding, Cutting metal\/wood\/plastics and other materials, polishing, deburring, sharpening tools, woodcarving, cleaning, drilling holes, arts and crafts, grout removal and so much more. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel 4000 is on the larger side when it comes to rotary tools<\/strong> and it weighs about 23 ounces (0.66 Kg).<\/strong> That weight is fine for quick tasks like cutting a screw or a piece of wood, but when using it for longer periods of time I recommend using the Dremel Flex Shaft<\/a> to reduce strain on your wrist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RPM range<\/strong> of the Dremel 4000 is from 5000 to 35000 RPMs<\/strong>, this is a fairly normal rpm range for a rotary tool and I rarely use the max setting of 35000 RPMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel 4000 has a 1.6 Amp motor<\/strong>. The amperage indicates the electrical current the tool is able to make use of. A lower Amp can cause the tool to overheat more quickly. I’ve experienced some overheating with the Dremel 4000 but only when I use it for very hard tasks that the Dremel 4000 was not really meant to be used for. When this happens, I just let the tool rest for a while and it is back to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel 4000 is a corded tool.<\/strong> This means that the tool can be used for longer periods of time without worrying about the battery running flat. If you prefer battery-powered<\/strong> tools, I recommend getting the Dremel 8220<\/a>. The Dremel 8220 is very similar to the Dremel 4000 in use but battery-powered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel 4000 can use most of the attachments<\/strong> that the Dremel brand makes. This makes it an extremely versatile tool<\/strong>. With the attachments you can for example make your Dremel into a chainsaw sharpening kit or a router for woodworking projects. I will tell you more about the attachments further down in the article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Experience With the Dremel 4000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am not going to give you my life story, I promise I will be quick. I initially bought the Dremel 4000 in January 2021 to use for woodcarving. I got inspired after watching some talented woodcarvers on youtube making amazing wood art and wood spirits with the Dremel.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since I don’t have the patience to sit for hours whittling away on hardwoods like beech with a knife, I came to the conclusion that I needed a Dremel to use for my crafts. The Dremel 4000 was the natural pick since that was the go-to Dremel model for most of the Youtubers I watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m really glad about that purchase. I have used the Dremel 4000 extensively for over a year now and it has never let me down. The tool reduced the time it took to make my wood carving projects by a great deal as it shreds through the wood in no time when I use the right bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found the Dremel 4000 very useful for other projects that were not related to woodcarving. The tool is great for cutting small pieces of metal like screws and bolts. And it is way less daunting to use than an angle grinder. I’ve also found it very useful……… You know what, let me just make you a list of what I have actually found my Dremel 4000 useful for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
