Should I be lubricating my dremel (395) tool?
It sounds like my dremel tool (395) needs to be lubricated. It has a squealing sound when turned on which is differnet from its normal sound. What should I use and how.

Just a comment-Based on experience, I would go with BOTH their suggestions and order brushes and bearings. That squeal is definitely the bearing; it is a sleeve bearing; RPMs too high for a ball bearing to last and the sleeve bearing has a solid lubricant cast into it.
It could also be the commutator brushes, which wear out on these.
Nothing, there is a bearing that sounds like it is locking up and needs replaced. go to Dremel.com for replacement parts and tech support.
