Dremel Tool??
I am new to reloading and I have a question to propose to the longtime loaders. Is there a way to outfit a variable speed Dremel tool with case brushes or deburring head. I was looking a some of the power case prep equipment and was curious if anyone has done this or thought about it?

I'm not sure with the high rpm's on the dremel tool if it would work. I use the RCBS trim mate prep center. You are able to prep hundreds of cases with no problem. Cabelas sells them for around $90.00

I have a Dremmel tool but use a Cordless drill motor for that sort of thing.

Yes, you can use the Dremel if you have the variable speed model ( but you'll need a larger chuck probably ).

The wire brush attachment (IIRC, it's tool # 443) is great for cleaning large primer pockets. When it's worn, it works on small primer pockets.

You want the low RPM's for that kind of work, and I'm not sure the lowest speed on the Dremel is slow enough. A cordless drill is right for that work.

I would buy a cheap cordless drill and leave it at the bench.

I would hate to be any where near a case brush flying apart at 30,000RPM. I once saw a guy get seriously injured when a grinding wheel on a bench grinder came apart. I imagine a brush flying apart on a Dremel tool would be like hundreds of flying needles. Someone else can do the RPM to MPH conversion for me LOL.
