    Proxxon EF vs. Dremel 7700

    in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment

    Posted

    The Proxxon... By a long way, old dremel said may have been the best before, but the modern stuff is cheap and nasty, Proxxon, high quality, a little more expensive , but well worth the investment

     

    I want to get a lightweight rotary tool to use when doing fine work.  So far I have narrowed the choices down to the Proxxon EF at .506 lbs, and the Dremel 7700 at @ 12 oz.  

    I have the Dremel flex shaft attachment but it feels a little cumbersome when trying to move around the build.

     

    I already have the transformer for the Proxxon so that is not a problem.  

    I guess I am wavering between battery power and the lighter weight of the Proxxon.

     

    What do you all think?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
