Amazon.com Product Description
Even the least artistic among us can have the coolest jack-o'-lanterns in the neighborhood this year with Dremel's pumpkin- carving kit. It's a neat, buzzy little unit that carves off layers of pumpkin flesh to let the light glow through. It isn't meant to cut all the way through the pumpkin, and the effect is perfectly spooky. Powered by four AA batteries, it's got two speeds for superior pumpkin-stock removal, 6,000 and 12,000 rpm, so it's not a child's toy.
|  | Step 1
Use a knife to cut a lid for your pumpkin. Angle the knife towards the center of the pumpkin as you cut so that the lid will rest on top of the pumpkin after the cut has been made.
Use a large spoon to clean out the entire inside of the pumpkin. It is best if the walls of your pumpkin are approximately 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick.
|  | Step 2
Based on the size of your pumpkin, you can enlarge or reduce the size of your template using a copy machine if needed. Using spray-on adhesive, apply your template to the pumpkin.
|  | Step 3
Turn the tool on low and begin tracing the areas to be removed.
You can use the high setting for large area material removal. The key is to remove approximately the same amount of material on your whole pumpkin to achieve a uniform depth.
|  | Step 4
Once you've finished, remove the paper template, place a light source, such as a candle, in the pumpkin, dim the lights, and see how well the light shines through your carving.
If you want more light to shine through, turn the lights back on, remove the candle and remove additional material from your pumpkin. | | Printable Templates from Dremel

hard to use, does not work well, I junked it after a few tries...dont waste your money on this
This is not a "carver" it is a "skinner" December 6, 2007

The product name is very misleading - it does NOT carve pumpkins. It has a little burr on the end of the tool that rotates around and skins the pumpkin. It is for the "glow effect" which sounds cool until you actually try it - then you end of with bits of pumkin splatter in a 3 foot radius of where you are skinning and it takes forever. I ended up using an exacto knife and razor to do most of the work and then used the Dremel for the fine tuning. Not really necessary unless you are super nitpicky (and if you already spent the money and can't return it because you opened it! LOL) The Swimway 30000 Pumpkin Power Carver at half the price is a better purchase.
Overrated cordless tool November 28, 2007

This tool would work great for its original intent, moulding, minor sculpting, but other than that, it sucks. it over heats, drains batteries rapidly, and really doesnt like to carve pumpkins at all. the average pumpkin is b/t 1/2" and 1" in thickness, and the thicker the worse it works. i prob spent about $12 in batteries before i went and got my CORDED ROTO ZIP to finish the job. dont waste your time.
 Not what I expected November 25, 2007

This Pumpkin Carver should be called a "Pumpkin Skinner". It's great for patterns that call for you to skin (remove only the top layer instead of cutting all the way through) the pumpkin for a glowing effect. But I did not find it very effective for actual carving, even though I went and bought a carving bit (not included with Dremel). So: great for skinning, but only average, at best, for carving.

Good tool for fake pumpkins, especially for rounding the edges. Best with rechargable batteries, as you could go through a lot of regular ones otherwise. Excellent price for the product
