I bought one, and burned it out in less than 15 minutes of some light sanding using a 7/8" 80 grit flapper wheel on an aluminum part. Thinking I had gotten a factory defect, amazon exchanged it for me with a new one.
I got it, and set it off to the side, since i had already finished with my other project. Today I picked it up for a new project, I had to cut a small hole into some 20 ga. sheet metal. 10 mins into it with a cutoff wheel, and this one went up in smoke also.
I know I'm not over-using it, I had a similar craftsman rotary tool for over 15 years that I've used for much heavier projects. I figured it was getting old and I'd treat myself and step up to the heavier duty 2.0 amp motor, and the actual dremel brand name tool, thinking it would be better. Boy, was this ever a real awakening. I figured dremel would have been a better product. It's not. I will steer clear of anything branded dremel from now on. It's a toy, not a tool. Wish I could get my old craftsman back, gave that away to a friend. I would go to a craftsman again, but they now appear to be just a rebranded dremel. I never figured there would be a market for vintage rotary tools, but maybe I'll go search ebay for a tool that was actually made with quality, and built to last. this poor thing surely wasn't.
 Such an awesome tool May 9, 2008
This thing is so versatile and handy! I bought it initially to do some lapidary work but have found so many uses for it! It does tend to run a little hot after awhile but I guess thats to be expected when you got this things rpm's maxed because it screams with speed when you want it too.
Going to buy my girlfriend one now too because she realized that it actually can be adjusted to 5000rpms which is 1000 less then the tool that the lady that does he nails at the saloon uses so now she is always wanting to borrow mine.
I Just wish they would make foot pedal that you can adjust the speed with, would make a lot of the work I like to do much easier. Overall though this thing is the best and I would be lost without it, lol I guess my girlfriend too.
The Dremel 400 XPR is a lemon May 6, 2008

This tool is useful only as a hobby tool for tiny tasks. It will burn out unless you are very careful. Cutting 10 inches of 1/4 inch thick hardboard is a difficult task with this tool. I wanted to cut two feet of hardboard in half but had the wrong hacksaw. I managed to cut the outer thirds in no time but the middle third needed something else. A lot later I managed to finish the cut with my Dremel. I have almost burnt it out many times and I am usually careful with my tools. I like the idea but the execution is miserable.

My Dremel tool quit turning when I used it for a few months. I returned it to Dremel for repair. They fixed it and sent it back to me the same week, along with an apology letter. They also sent me a new sanding accessory to try "for the inconvenience." I am very impressed with their customer service. Also, I couldn't remember how to put the tool back together, and I couldn't find my owner's manual. It was very easy to go on-line and find an owner's manual. I am very happy with my tool and with Dremel's customer service. They stand behind their products! JS
Dremel 400-6\90 March 24, 2008
This is a versatile tool that anyone can use.Additional parts may be replaced as they are depleted. They are available from any store or warehouse that sells hardware. I have most full size power tools but there are times when you need a small high speed tool that can get into the hard to get at spaces. This fits the bill.
