Dremel Trio

[Andreas]

Dremel has apparently come out with a new tool, the Trio:
http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages/ToolDetail.aspx?pid=Dremel+Trio




"The Dremel Trio allows users to cut, sand and rout using one multi-purpose tool. Cut multiple materials including wood, plastic, drywall, sheet metal, wall tile and more without switching tools. The tool’s unique, 360-degree cutting technology and plunge-cut ability allows users to make quick and controlled cuts, while its unique, 90-degree pivoting handle facilitates added control, comfort and accuracy.

    * The multi-purpose cutting bit included with the Dremel Trio lets you cut a variety of materials using only one bit
    * The pivoting handle on the Dremel Trio can be positioned straight-up or at a 90-degree angle for superior tool control and maximum comfort
    * Start your cut wherever you want because Dremel Trio cutting bits let you make quick and easy plunge cuts anywhere in the workpiece"

Cool but not much different from their router attachment is it.  At least for lightweight stuff.  I'm probably missing something

[Andreas]

I have the router attachement and you can't cut that fast with it. . But you're right, very similar

[Neil]

I think there maybe some CGI trickery in that video  

I want to know when they are going to bring a CNC attachment

I jest but it would be very cool 

[Andreas]

Yeah of course it's CGI, but if they are marketing it as a jigsaw type thing it has to be able to cut faster than what the router attachement setup can do.

CNC would be epic

I played with it at Home Depot a few weeks ago.  There's really not much you can do with it that you can't do with a standard Dremel, but this one does it faster and probably better.  It's more purpose oriented, which almost always makes a difference.  I found myself wanting one!

Anything Dremel rocks. I bought a cheap fake dremel a few days ago as I thought I could get away with using that here at my digs, but Iæm having my real Dremel shipped here from home because the fake one is a joke
