Dremmel irritation
After finally buying myself a Dremmel the only real annoyance for me is the fact that the direction of rotation throws all the crap in your face if you're right handed.
I was wondering if anyone else has a solution to this problem?
I was also thinking, would it be possible to rewire the plug so that the polarity is reversed, presumably causing the motor to spin in the opposite direction? Or would this just burn out the electrics?

Hey:
The cutting edge of the tool will be going in the wrong rotation on the directional cutters. They make a little plastic shield but I don't see it listed anymore. You could always cut up a clear small water bottle at an angle and tyrap it to the body of the dremel giving you a make shift shield or you could wear a face shield when using it like I do, but I am a Lefty.

I don't think it's a good idea safety wise mate. If you reverse the live and neutral wires all the guts of the motor will have 'juice' to it and back to one side of the switch whether it's on or off. You just complete the circuit with the switch from there back down the wire. The way it is now there's only power down the cable to one side of the switch.
If you feel like a gimp using the other hand use both and just steer it with your right. Get a flip down face mask and you should be right...or just wear your full face with the visor down .

Seriously tho Hawk I use the 90 degree Dremel elbow adapter to get around the issue
