Our take on the Dremel 3100-1/15 Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit

The Dremel 3100 is a corded rotary tool with a five-position speed dial instead of a full variable-speed wheel. It comes as a 15-piece kit with the attachments most beginners need for cutting, sanding, polishing and engraving. It suits light craft, repair and detail work where a steady, low-cost corded tool is enough. Against the 4000 and 4300, it gives up the digital speed readout and finer speed control, and it is not the tool for heavy continuous cutting.

Pros
  • Five marked speed settings are simple to pick from
  • Corded power holds speed under light load
  • 15-piece kit covers cutting, sanding and polishing
  • Slim 7.5-inch body is easy to grip like a pen
  • Uses the standard Dremel collet and accessory system
Cons
  • Five steps, not true variable speed, so fine control is coarse

  • Single-speed range tops out below the high-end models
  • Brushes and motor are built for light duty, not long sessions

Questions and answers

Is the Dremel 3100 good for beginners?

How is it different from the Dremel 4000 or 4300?
