    Hi Janet, The Dremel that is often advertised can actually do an
    awful lot of work.  But in the end, it's still best for those at a
    more "hobby" level.  You can actually buy a mroe "heavy duty" model
    of dremel that is just like the Foredom and Pfingst hanging models. 
    You can find this high end model of Dremel at Lee Valley Tools. 

    But if you're planning on doing the whole gammut of jewellery
    making, I would go with the Foredom or the Pfingst as there are mroe
    accessories designed to be used with these models than the Dremel -
    for example the Ray Grossman "Jump Ringer" is designed for use with
    a #30 handpiece.  You cannot use the Jump Ringer with the model of
    Dremel that Martha Stewart is using, you'd have to find an
    alternative accessory for that. 

    So really just look at what you do now, and what you would like to
    do in the future and determine if your needs will require either the
    "all purpose" Dremel or the high end Foredom or Pfingst flex shaft
    tools. 

Cheers,
Julia
