@blackops696- I don't see why not, but you want to use it at a slower speed and possibly different bits to get the best result. Because Plexiglass is so soft, a carbide burr rather thana diamond may leave a better looking mark, and prevent gumming of the burr's tip.
@Serostern ... Exactly. The last time I looked dremels run under 100K RPM's... High Speed engravers handpieces (dentist drills) run from 350K to somewhere around 500K RPM's. People, speed makes a HUGE difference!
yeah i use a dremel by the brand dremel and its good enough but really nothing like what he is using.
if the company dremel would make better and smaller diamond tips it wouldnt be so bad though but they wear out fast and their smallest one feels like a friggin football when your trying to do small details
hes engraving the word glass on that thing but i think its crystal seeing how easily he cuts through it.
my dremel will do that no problem but real glass is harder
The tool is referred to in the generic as a flex-shaft. This one is made by the Foredom company. The long flexible shaft allows you to work in or very near water with electrical concerns. The diamond bits are very inexpensive, and are more of a throw-away style tool, although when used with water, will last quite nicely.
can u use it for pelxi glass as well?

"No different from a dentist's drill"
EEP! Wrong!
A dentist's drill is pneumatic. Dremel tools are electric.

And, for what its worth, the glass being used is soda lime glass, not lead crystal.

I agree, for details, the dremel multi-tool such as the 300 series is not the best. Τry the dremelEngraver

Wait did that guy just wipe away glass dust with just his hand? Wouldn't that cut him?

you caught him, the professional glass etcher actually cuts his hand every time he wipes away the glass dust.
