The 395 is the one I had originally. Such a little powerhouse. Mine used to get quite warm too, but I would let it cool if it got around 130*F for about 1/2 hour before continuing.

The new one I just got is non-variable, just "off", 15krpm, and 35krpm speeds... basically the slightly lower-end version of the 395; same case, top speed, and power (1.15A @ full speed). I thought I would miss the variable speed feature, but after working with it for a few hours, I don't even miss it. And I found I needed to clean the sliding speed control potentiometer every six months or so for proper operation.
