    any one you get you want a speed control speed i use air so i can slow it down for sand drums and flaps and carbide needs to run slow and for fine work a round valve seats etc . stone you can run alot faster .i would look at a flex drive type like a dremel super kit 1/5 model 804-1095 with variable speed control or bigger. i have all ways used air most of the time. when working with alum and or carbide cuters with a length of over 2 1/2 shank like 6+ inch long carbide you have to slow things down .i have a makita electric505-3141. 2 amps that i just use stones or and Mx or Cratex abrasive wheels with but if you have a foredom why not use it.. you have more right now then i do and i have done it for some time now but if you are doing it all the time you may want to look at the milwaukee 5192 or bosch1209 i did use a milwaukee 5192 big heavy all in all more then what i needed
