Quieter Dremel

[chazmtu]

Hi everyone,

I use a dremel as a spindle on my homemade machine. It works OK but man is it loud. Anyone have any ideas on how to muffle its roar without damaging or cutting it open.

what model of Dremel is it? The newer Dremel 300 is a lot quieter.

Its a 300. It just occurred to me that it could be the way its mounted. I'm using a right angle 1/8in aluminum and a pipe clamp with some pipe insulation for protection.
