ChrisK Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've got a couple of the 4.0 and use them in my Fuel Havkzall. Surprised how long that saw will run doing moderate work. Plus although the bigger than the M12 Hackzall, the Furl version is still compact enough to get into tight areas. Mike, you're going to love that little guy. I love mine and use it fairly frequently. Mostly for buffing. I get my Dremel accessories, cutoff wheels, buff pads etc not to mention carving blades. and it is just a great comfortable tool. Only wish I had was an LED light on the front end. Not the tip as you can add Dremel attachments to the screw cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Not the tip as you can add Dremel attachments to the screw cap.can you expand on this, pictures maybe? I'm thinking your saying you can unscrew the black tip on the m12 tool and add accessories from dremel accessories.. that would be awesome. Is the any dust port or drywall cutout support ring type accessories?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Bigmikez, nice buy on the blower!! Make sure not to piss off the wife too much or she will make your tool buying life hell.. it's a fine line you have to walk of buying just enough that she doesn't loose it! Little gifts for her always help get you more tools in the long run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 nothing wrong with having to many batteries however I think because of the high cost of these things I would rather spend the money on other tools and share batteries......I'd rather have 10 tools and 2 batteries versus 2 tools and 10 batteries.....

Additionally I have never used the tool as a drywall tool but I know there are blades for it. I'm not sure how it would do but it does work great as a compact cutoff tool.

NERemodeling Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks Chris, do you, or does anyone know if this specific Dremel accessory works?It's the Dremel 565I'd like to buy it ASAP but wanna make sure it fits my m12 rotary tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 NER...the below mentioned is not from me but from Amazon customer review...I hope this helps! ChrisExact Quote from Amazon....Not sure why this gets so many good reviews. I went to a local big box store that sold the same item after reading about it here on amazon. I have a Milwaukee 12v cordless rotary tool and while this is not a Dremel tool my issue has nothing to do with branding. The guide has the same screw threads as the Milwaukee and fits perfectly fine. No issues there, I thought it was great that it fit. Then I tried to use it with a router bit to do some test routing on some softwood. I wanted to get the hang of it before trying it on my finish pieces. Here is the issue, look at the picture of the guide head. See that one tiny spring loaded screw that holds it at a particular depth? Worthless! Won't hold it straight to save its life. I tried pushing it all the way to the top to keep it flat and adjust the bit to a depth I wanted with a ruler but it still has a little flex in it so you don't get a straight cut. If you want my advice, if you plan to router something, just spend the 80-90 dollars and just buy a dedicated finish router for stuff around the house. Don't waste your money like I did. If they beef this thing up and add at least 2 more set screws it might work. As for now, it just does a really good job at messing up your cuts.

comp56 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have the m12 rotary tool in shipping as we speak and I would be curious if this dremel circle jig will fit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 That's a pretty cool jig Comp. It's funny looking at what NER posted and this I'm clearly not,letting my little guy live up its potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks chris. I think I'll buy one and have a go at itComp, the circle jig should work.. make sure to post your findings when you get you new rotary tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 will do I'm hoping it will most likely come in handy...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 as promised and as suggested, the Dremel attachment works like a charm on the end of the Milwaukee rotary m12 tool, in fact the threads are the same woot.....I am only assuming most Dremel attachments would be the same..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's pretty cool that the dremel attachment works for the Milwaukee tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Comp, you beat me too it! I got the drywall base at the end of last week but haven't had a chance to make a post about it.. here she is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm pretty pumped about this because I was torn between buying the makita 18v drywall cutout tool or the m12 rotary..the makita would have obviously worked much better for drywall work but would have been clumsy for most other dremel tool type tasks. The m12 rotary obviously excels at all the other Dremel tasks but would have been much more difficult for drywall work without the collar. I really liked how light and compact the m12 was also... I had decided to go with the m12 rotary because I don't do a ton of sheet rock and when I did I would just use my finger as a guide but now with this I have the best of both worlds!!

NERemodeling Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's frikin awesome guys! Any chance you've used these yet?I haven't used it yet.. I have two drywall jobs lined up for a week from now.. It solid when you have the collar retracted most of the way back.. when you extend it out to the last 1/3 (like to reduce debt of cut) it gets a little wobbly. For drywall I won't ever have to fend it out more than 1/8 thought so it should be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 the m12 rotary tool is def a nice tool.NER let us know how it performs cutting drywalls / outlets etcLike I just said to Chris.. in about a week or week and a half I'll be putting it to good use with a few drywall jobs and I'll report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
