It can get hot pretty quick depending on what you're doing with it. If you are cutting aluminium with a cutting disk, it gets quite hot. I usually let it take breaks to cool down if I am cutting a lot of aluminium in one go.

if a tool gets hot fast, its usually because there is too much load on the motor. So try not to push to hard. or use the right bit.

If it's getting hot use a higher speed (if you have a variable speed model, I don't know what B&D offers). I had that problem with my Craftsman (just a black, rebadged dremel) cutting, I was using too low a speed, cranked it up and it cut cleaner, faster and cooler.

I'm from the micro scene, so I should mention to be careful to use too high of a speed. If you're cutting plastic or something that will melt easily, then be careful to not use too high of a speed or it will ruin your bit, probably hurt you a little( three cheers for molten plastic), and will not cut cleanly if it cuts at all. I use a craftsman, never gets uncomfort.ably hot, just warm. I have a buddy who uses the B-D one, his doesnt overheat unless he cuts something too dense on a low speed. |

Yeah, run it fast but just fast enough, you don't need to spin the blade or cutter at 30,000 RPM to cut most things I don't think I've ever used more than half of what's available with my dremel
