Welp, basework on the sungazer is going to have to wait until I replace my rotary tool AGAIN... This one I didn't feel lived enough hours to justify its cost, and I'm extremely nonplussed (this is the one that died on me http://www.amazon.com/Kawasaki-840589-190-Piece-Rotary-Accessory/dp/B002FYJEPG). Does anyone have a suggestion for a rotary tool that will be a freaking beast machine for years? Budget caps at about $150, but I'd stretch a bit for something leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the pack.
I'm toying between the idea of a Proxxon (http://www.amazon.com/Proxxon-38481-Professional-Rotary-Tool/dp/B001FWXEO6), a Dremel 4000 (http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-4000-2-30-120-Volt-Variable/dp/B002L3RUVG), or possibly a Dremel 9100 (http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-9100-21-Forti-Flex-Stationary-Precision/dp/B00G5R4E9K/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1398278170&sr=1-1&keywords=dremel+9100). I think I'm leaning toward the Proxxon, but does anyone have experience with these particular tools? I've had issues with vibration injuries with my previous tools, until I added a flex shaft (though it's still tenuous to tool for too long), so the Proxxon looks pretty promising. The Dremel tools are more powerful, but I very rarely use the tools I get at high speeds because they're loud and scare me...
