The Dremel 300 sports a lightweight design and comfort grip housing for easier handling and better control. It comes with a "dove-tail" feature for Dremel-exclusive attachments and some on-board tool storage. When powered, it operates quietly thanks to a cool-running ball bearing construction.
The Dremel 300 handheld rotary tool weighs 18-ounces and has a cord length of exactly six feet. When plugged in, it uses 1.15-amps and 120-volts of alternating current power in the 50 to 60 hertz range. It can operate at variable speeds between 5,000 and 35,000 RPM, a "no-load" capacity and fits collets in sizes 1/32-inch, 1/16-inch, 3/32-inch and 1/8-inch.
The handheld tool itself is merely part of the package -- a Dremel's usefulness revolves around its accessories. The Dremel 300 is able to accommodate the full line of collets, bits, mandrels and specialized add-ons. Individuals who are interested in what a Dremel can truly do should obtain an "Accessory Order Form" or catalog.
