Dremel Launches New Range of Detail Abrasive Brushes

The new brushes are compatible with all Dremel multi-tools including the fast-change SpeedClic system. They have been developed specifically for cleaning delicate surfaces and getting into tight, intricate shapes for tough restoration projects without damaging the workpiece.

The Coarse 36 Grit brush is designed for light rust removal from metal or steel.

The Medium 120 Grit brush is for light paint removal from wood.

And the Fine 220 Grit abrasive brush removes tarnish from brass.

Other applications include cleaning aluminium, plastic and vinyl. They will also smooth wood and de-bur after carving or routing.

The three wheels are colour-coded for easy identification. There's also no need for compound any more - the abrasive is impregnated within the rubber wheel so the grit will last for the life of the accessory.

"These new detail abrasive brushes will improve the sanding capabilities of our tools," says Nick Longford, Dremel Brand Manager. "They will remove the exterior, surface layer without damage to the base layer below. They also allow sanding of contours and details, as well as in hard-to-reach areas".

Priced £6.99 (SSP) each, the abrasive brushes will be available online at http://www.dremel-direct.com

The New Dremel Fortiflex...

Dremel has responded to consumer demands for the return of the Motoflex (model 7360) with the launch of the new Fortiflex (9100), a high quality reliable precision tool suitable for tasks where a combination of power and detailing is required.

From woodworking to jewellery making, precision drilling to stone working, the Fortiflex is the ideal tool for stationary projects with a need for precision and versatility combined with power and speed. It also tackles DIY tasks such as car restoration and artisan/craft projects with ease. The Fortiflex boasts features such as a high powered 300W hanging motor, a variable speed between 0 - 20,000 RPM, a high torque in the lower speed range and a separate foot pedal with anti-slip strips for single handed use and variable speed control.

It has a robust long-life flex shaft, with a patented system of sleeve bearings to reduce rotation heat and therefore increase lifetime. Other benefits of the Fortiflex include an exchangeable precision hand piece using the 'click'-system; easy change of accessories via the drill bit chuck; ultimate precision through low collet run-out; and a variable shank diameter (0.3 - 4.0mm) suitable for all Dremel accessories.

The Dremel Fortiflex kit (9100-21) comprises the Fortiflex hanging motor, the patented high endurance flex shaft, a detachable hand piece, foot pedal, hanging hook with wall mounting plate, 21 accessories, instruction manual and welcome poster.

For creative, detailed, semi-professional applications, the new Fortiflex is competitively-priced at £249.99 (SRP, inc VAT)
