yeah, so I completely murdered my dremel...it doesn't even spin at all now. Not sure how to fix it. (m80??) But this sucks becasue I was 1/3 of the way through cutting open a TL.

Could be as simple as replacing the brushes. Have you looked at them??

Not sure about the brushes..overall it didn't sound good back in December...

I'm thinking it'* more than just brushes

The Dremel site doesn't list an "m80"

Which one is it??

I think the M80 was an explosive reference..

I know how you feel, between willwren and I we killed a couple doing my hood vents

Time for small tool repair 101. Open it up and check the brushes, then see if it turns at all. Frozen? Probably bearings overheated (you maniac) and froze up. While Dremel is a good brand, those things weren't really designed for industrial duty. That'* what they make the remote motor driven hand tools for.

If your Dremel is not too old, contact them for warranty info.

You guys really don't understand what he'* put that thing through.

I can still spin it by hand but it makes a nice clicking/grinding sound.

I guess in the next couple of days I will crack it open and explore what I destroyed

its cooled down and still doesn't turn.

Was it smoking iike mine?

If you have to replace it.....I've noticed there are many things about myBlack and Decker RTX that seem better than the dremels. and it was much cheaper.

For example when Rob was here..smoke was pouring out of my dremel(more than once)...I let it cool and it'* still good. Used it on all kinds of industrial type stuff with the games and cars...it'* never let me down at all.
