Dremel Moto-Tool is the name given to rotary tools devloped by Albert J. Dremel, founder of the Dremel Company in 1932. The company was, and still is located in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1993 it was purchased by Robert Bosch GmbH and today it is a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation. They are extremely versatile tools and are used extensively by model makers and hobbyists. Similar tools (for example, those sold by Sears under their Craftsman brand) are also sometimes called Dremels.
The Dremel tool rotates a bit held in a collet at high speed. Variable-speed versions may cover a range of 5,000–35,000 RPM. By inserting an appropriate bit (or burr) the tool can perform drilling, grinding, sharpening, cutting, cleaning, polishing, sanding, routing, carving and engraving. Battery-powered and mains-powered models are available.
They may be likened to the pneumatic die grinders used in the metalworking industry by tool or moldmakers.
