There are plenty of projects you can do with Dremel rotary tool. Some of the common applications include wood carving, metal polishing, logo engraving and cutting medium-hard material like wood, plastic, fiberglass and other soft metals like aluminum, copper and small cross sectional steel or steel plate. With hundreds of tool bit attachment available enables you to do even the most complex job that require detailing. They are good for light application like detailing and working with small objects which common cordless gadget can’t handle. They are not design for heavy work, using this product for everyday work like in heavy construction and metal fabrication or for cutting large chunk of metal continuously will probably make it last for only few months. They are famous gadget for artist in making artwork and hobbyist for restoring antique items. With its sleek design and lightweight construction enable you to hold it with one hand and easily control it as if you’re holding a pen knife. Depending on the model you choose you can have it in multi speed (6,500 and 13,000 rpm.) or variable speed (from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm.) and can be easily adjusted by toggling the selector switch. Replacing the tool bit is very easy and doesn’t require any special gadget, just push the spindle lock and remove and replace it with your hands. The control buttons such as the trigger and the speed selector are placed in such a way that you’re fingers can easily reach them. The body itself is fitted with a soft rubberized material for added comfort and to avoid it from slipping into your hands.
You can also purchase accessories to make your work even easier and better. One good accessory is the Flex Shaft Attachment. This unit allows you to work with a much smaller diameter body, more like a pen in your hand that is lighter and easier to control. It gives you more dexterity while working on small objects or when you are engraving so you can actually feel the pressure in each stroke. It also minimizes the hand fatigue because you are not carrying the weight of the unit anymore. The only drawback probably is the flex shaft which can easily entangle with your work especially if you are working in tight spaces. Another good addition to your Dremel collection is the Rotary Tool Work Station. It allows you to convert your basic unit into a small drill press or bench grinder. By attaching the tool into this unit you can easily drill holes in perfect 90 degrees angle or grind a portion of the work piece in controlled small amount at a time. If you are working with mass quantity, you can just make a jig; attach it to the base of the work station and start drilling with a consistent depth all the time. For working with tight spaces you can purchase the Right Angle Attachment Unit. It can be attach by replacing the housing cap without using any tool. You can also orient it in 12 different directions depending on the position of the area you are working with. There are also other attachments made for specific jobs, like when you are removing grout, without the proper gadget it’s a messy and time consuming job but with Dremel Rotary Tool plus the Grout Removing Attachment you can easily accomplish it in no time. When you purchase a brand new set of Dremel Tool, it usually include basic starter attachments like sanding drum, small felt wheel, fine sanding band, carbide stone.
