Dremel engraver in Europe ?

Hello,

I would like to buy a Dremel #290 electric engraver to sign my works. But the only model available is rated 110V/60Hz.

=> Has any of you a simple solution to use it here on our mains that are 240V/50Hz (except the obvious huge solution of the 240V -> 110V transformer ...) ?

Thanks for any tip :-)

I would skip the dremel and just go for a no-name or lesser brand. Dremel used to be brilliant up until about 7 or 8 years ago - at that time they shifted the manufactur from the US to South America somewhere and the quality went down the toilet.

If you have an air compressor, consider finding a small die grinder. They're air powered, use the same 1/8" dia. bits as the Dremel and are faster (about

20,000 rpm) and more powerful then a Dremel. They're also smaller in diameter so they're easier to use for hand engraving your signiture, etc. Industrial Supply stores and some automotive supply stores carry them.

Thanks everybody for your several answers but I may not have been precise enough : I don't want a rotary tool (I have already 2 Dremel clones) => What I wanna buy is a "variable stroke electrical engraver" ...

Any other source ?

Thanks
