Figure I share this here also.
For those that want to try their hand at carving a foam pumpkin with a dremel, but don't want to put out the amount of money Dremels cost.
Harbor Freight just started selling a Cheap Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit
Variable speed control from 8000 to 35,000 RPM
(which equals Dremel speed)
Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit $21.99

Thanks to Doh for finding this - they are running a special this week you can get it for $17.99
click me
Note: I Tested this out in the Store, and it has a plenty of power to carve foam kins.
The Only Issue is going to find a flex shaft that fits this (Dremel brand flex shaft does not fit this)
But you can carve a foam pumpkin without a flex shaft !
