It looks and feels well made and runs smoothly and relatively quietly. Haven't actually used it yet. Looks like the collet nut and collets are Dremel compatible. For the price I don't see how you can go wrong. If you're interested go NOW. They often have things that,once they're gone, they're gone.Even if you don't use this for lutherie (I don't) it would be useful around the home and shop.
