1st ck to see that outlet has power on it by using a known good light (drop lights work great for this) next if tool is plugged into a foot pedal or speed control remove this and connect direct to outlet , activate switch on tool see if it runs

if not you most likely have a dammged brush on tool <this is very common i usually go thru two sets a year , brushes are available for dremels where ever dremel brand bits and tools are sold ck on back of package for your model number

if doing a lot of sanding or grinding allways make a habbit of blowing out air vents on tool body with a strong source of compressed air (canned air ok) this helps keep it going for years

Turn the dremel on the bit doesn't spin

My motor was turning but the flex shaft wouldn't. I took the flex shaft loose and spun it inside. Works fine now.

Hi Joe, Joe here. I have a dremel tool now for almost 25 years. Same one. I had this happen to me. You should be able to get the parts at any hardware store that has the big dremel accessories cabinet. You can also get the parts from dremel's customer service. Great tool, next to my leatherman wave. http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages/RetiredProducts.aspx

My dremel stylus wont turn of and I dont know what to do It is stuck in On position

its probably broken, but you could just add a foot operated switch from a hardware store which costs about 4$, which is cheaper than replacing the switch and easier to turn off and on while using the tool.

Versatip 2000 gas soldering iron wont turn on.

If it the Dremel Versatip then it isnt wired as it is run by gas. I had the same problem - turned out the pezoignition system had failed. Replaced under warranty. No questions.
