Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a low rpm drill that can take very small bits <1mm and upwards.
I have a Dremel multi tool but even at its lowest rpm its too fast and just melts plastic rather than drilling it.
Does anyone have reccommendations?

Re: Low RPM powered Drill.
Tamiya makes a drill as a model kit you put together that is battery powered....Lee did a review of it in the videos I believe
Yep, found it

You want a proxon, they go from 500rpm up to 20,000 and wipe the floor with dremels and even with he power transformer they cost about £50

Proxon would be my first choice of tool for this application. Providing a general geagraphic location will also help fellow members to give you a more refined answer when they reply.

If you get the slightly larger transformer you will find it more useful and ultimately cheaper.
Proxon also do a very useful pen sander which will plug into the same transformer.
Plus electric knife for carving landscapes

Re: Low RPM powered Drill.
i can find the Proxxon tools easy enough here in Oz but not much in the way of accessories/bits. Do they have their own range or would Dremel bits fit them?
Any bits fit them, they have a chuck and not collets
