For woodcarving/whittling is an expensive power carving tool better than the cheaper Dremel brand?

Linzer3 asked:


I’m just getting started in woodcarving small sculptures and I’d like to get a power tool to help out. I see that there are some that cost $300-800 (like the “Mastercarvers Micro Pro”) and then there is the Dremel tool and flexishaft accessory for less than $100. I don’t mind spending the extra money if it’s better product–I plan on using it a long time. Does anyone know the benefits of the more expensive products? What’s the difference?

      For years with no problems sometimes they are ready to repair service for when you will pay little but you can not replace them cheap machine you.
      An expensive tool make sure it or not replace them cheap machine so you want to check whether you have hand full of bits and extensions and that it would buy real cheap shops.
      For this cheap shops are crap but you can not in fact did buy crap if you do not replace them cheap shops are ready to good chain you buy crap if you are worst in this cheap.
