So this will use all of the Dremel attachments for cutting, grinding, etc..? Thanks folks, I've purchased it and am very pleased. Your info was truly helpful!

I bought a set of 4 Dremel collets (Dremel 4485 Quick Change Collet Nut Kit) which all fit the Black and Decker. I would think that these four collets would hold any Dremel attachment.

This will fit with all Dremel attachments and use them even better than any Dremel tool you will ever get.

I think that most, if not all, of the Dremel attachments should work. I have a Dremel attachments and all of them work. I would recommend switching to a keyless chuck instead of the collet that comes with the Black and Decker. A keyless chuck will allow you to use things that are smaller than the 1/8 inch collet, unless you just want to buy a set of collets. Hope that this helps.

They have so far. Standard size shafts on the Dremel fit, no problem. The enhanced torque of the B & D makes some of them work even better.

Yes. It can also hold many standard power drill size bits, but it isn't that useful. What I'm saying is, it is very versatile, and I feel it's better than the Dremel brand.

So far my Black & Decker rotary tool has been used with much of my Dremel stuff. The thread on the nose of the tool is identical to Dremel - my mini-router attachment fits, as does my Dremel flexible shaft gizmo. I conclude that ALL Dremel attachments will fit and work OK. Certainly, anything that fits a Dremel collet will fit the B&D.; Also, and this is the reason I use the B&D;, it can be hand-held without blowing super-hot air onto my hand. So I use the B&D; lots - I also have 2 Dremels - and old one which I love and a new one which I don't. Good luck.

I don't know about all, but I bought a few dremel wire brushes, cutters& grinder sort of things and they have all fit. An attachment that fits on the tool to make it do other things, not likely.

Yes. I bought a set of assorted grinding and sanding bits and a set of collets that were all Dremel brand and everything fit fine.

My husband says that he does not believe any of the included blades/attachments cut metal. However, you can purchase many compatible attachments for this tool. There should be one available at a hardware store or online.

I don't own a Dremel, so not sure of set up... BUT, as long as the accessory has a straight shaft (standard rotary tool sized) it should chuck up into the B&D; just fine.

I love this tool and am a pro Contractor. The variable speed is very helpful. Dremel blades can be used when installed manually with a provided allen head wrench. For quick, tool free blade changes you need to use the Dewalt or possibly compatible after market blades

The specs ARE bleak! Yes, it comes with a 3 jaw chuck as in the picture and a live center. A 4 jaw chuck is available. Oddly it comes with NO cutting tools -- but other than that, everything is there. In fact, there are so many of these machines in the U.S. market now and all of them made in the same factory in Shanghai, that there is virtually NO accessory that would make any sense that you can't buy. Search for 'little machine shop' -- you'll find a company that carries virtually all of it. I'm trying to think of a sensible small lathe accessory that you couldn't find for these machines -- I REALLY don't know what it would be. You can get steady and carriage rests, larger chucks, faceplate and dogs, collets, I have heard of a toolpost grinder but haven't seen that, various sorts of tool posts, an adapter to use it as a milling machine, metal gears to replace the plastic ones, metal knobs (same deal) ... You get the picture.

I just purchased this dremel as in my move, I have lost the one I had which worked great. My old one came in a Blue canvas carrying case but I do not know which one the dremel was. I am looking for one that is like it. It was cordless and variable speed. The 7700-1/15 does not have enough power to do the dog's nails and it takes forever to do one dog. Can any one help figure out which dremel is like my old one?

This unit has a universal adapter which provides for the use of blades from other manufacturers. I've only used the blades from DeWalt so I don't know if Dremel will work specifically. I suggest you go to a retail store that features both tools and verify compatibility. I'm 100% pleased with this unit. The LED light, variable speed, quick blade change, and long cord are all a huge plus.

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...

Yes it does and does a great job! There are so many different ways to use all the attachments. Love it!

no idea if it works on other equipment other than Dremel, I have not figured out how to install it on the Dremel yet?

No, this unit (like most other dremel tools) is designed to use cutters,burrs,grinding points, cutoff wheels,etc......with 1/8" diameter shanks (or smaller).

Yes, if you use the proper polishing compound. You have to be careful if you've never used a Dremel. Pretty powerful for such a small device. I would think that there would be only a few of the pieces you could use.

I agree with the other answers as well, buy the right machine for grinding. I suggest a Porter Cable grinder, I personally use one with grinding/cutting/sanding wheels on it.

I saw the answers about cutting with a long blade, this may be possible. If you are procuring a tool to do a job you might as well buy the correct tool. I would suggest an oscillating saw such as this one PORTER-CABLE PCE605K 3-Amp Corded Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with 31 Accessories "I do not particularly endorse the Porter cable exact product" I did have a Porter Cable and it did not last very long. Currently running a Dremel and will see how it lasts."

I tried using the two included cutting attachments to try cut nails and screws and all it did was dull the blades. I bought the Dremel universal attachment and some of their blades and they seem to be sturdier and better built. I know they have some that will cut metal, so I'd recommend looking into that route.
