Cordless = integrated battery that WILL die rendering the tool as ewaste + have slow recharge rates + battery tools typically have worse performance.
Whereas I have a corded dremel from 30+ years ago, works just as good today as the day I bought it.
There was a cordless version that frontpaged and I bit on it because I needed it for a project. I can confirm that the battery system is modular which means it won't become ewaste until the battery system becomes obsolete.
The project was a hitch install on my car where I needed to cut some sheet metal and the cutting wheel really made short work of the metal which impressed me.
Been looking for a Dremel to start carving and polishing stones. There are too many options and I don't know which one to pick! Anyone know if this is a good model for a beginner?

Yes great for beginners. If you are going to do carving id probably go for a cordless model with a removable/replaceable battery. Can always try and return corded if it bothers u

All of the newer Dremel rotary tools I believe (8100 + 8220, 30, 40, 50, 60) are cordless with removable battery.
I don't know where all of this cordless hate is coming from. People here buy cordless tools regularly but then when something is cordless that they don't mind being cordless, it's completely unthinkable anyone would waste money on cordless and if you do, you're dumb.
Been wanting for something like this. Thoughts on spending a bit more and going cordless? I mainly will be using this on non metal stuffa
I own a corded dremel. My wife actually wanted one years ago so I bought a kit for her. Fast forward thru the years and we EASILY got our money's worth even with just OCCASIONAL use as those uses saved us a lot of money or time or both.
I recently bought a pre-wired Fender Strat pickguard to save some time on swapping pickups AND to preserve the original pickguard, electronics, and pickups in original condition (resell guitar later or just sell off that pre-loaded pickguard for some cash back). The original pickguard has a little notch for the thumbwheel truss rod adjustment at the base of the neck. The preload pickguards don't have this notch, certainly not in the ones I was most interest in. What to do? Forego the convenience of a preloaded pickguard and preservation of the old one in original condition? Nope. Buy the new pickguard and carefully measure and then cut the notch needed into the new pickguard. Worked GREAT, however...
The cord was a pain in the a** to deal with because it's so stiff that it was bothersome trying to maneuver the cutting wheel without the cord being a nuisance. Sure, I got it done, but I assure you I was wishing it was cordless during that specific task.
Just think about your use cases. Corded for more assurance of longevity in case batteries become unavailable after burning thru the one(s) you have or if you have bigger jobs where full power and uninterrupted work is required (probably NOT the ideal use case for this class of dremel, anyways...) OR corded for the convenience of using anywhere you want, when you want, and not being tethered to a physically restricting power cable. Both have their places in a tool box.
Noob question here, Why would I want this if I already own a metabo screwdriver/drill with adjustable torque and that is 1/4 so can take a lot of accesories?

I thnk this price is slick; see this similar Dremel 3100 tool kit [amazon.com] that costs more.
