    I've got both the models of the Proxxon motor tool, the FBS & the
    IBE professional model. Neither has a thermal reset button. 

    If I were going to use a motor tool for a milling project, I'd go
    with the IBE model. It's spindle is use ball bearings & is set in a
    metal housing. They FBS model while using ball bearings is set in a
    plastic housing like most motor tools on the market today. The IBE is
    about 40% more expensive.
