What do they do exactly? I know they do a lot of things but whats the main use?

 

I'm thinking they drill big holes and maybe cut into things kind of like a drill but with a bit that files sideways if you know what I mean.

 

cheers

we use one at work for deburring. cool little tools but remember to give yourself a break after a while cos 2 hours of continious use can make your hand feel lke its buzzing for hours lol.

whats deburring?

Dremel - aka die grinder. Hand held... erm... grinder... LOL

All the tools and attachments are listed here

 

Steve :)

when you cut metal it can create a sharp razor edge or excess metal still hanging on so to speak. it removes it to give a blunted edge so you don't cut your fingers.

depending on the accessories you have they can be used for many jobs cutting grinding shaping deburring wire brushing polishing etc etc

Best. Tool. Ever.

 

Google is your friend remember as I believe there are even dedicated Dremel clubs out there (believe it or not!).

 

Cutting, grinding, sanding and lots and lots of other things. Once you own one you'll wonder how you ever lived without it! Lol! :D ;)

No, a lathe is apparently much better. Although if doing it during work be careful you don't get the crown jewels caught as one may be ripped out and fly off down the workshop forcing you to hunt around amidst the dirt and dust to retrieve the little fella before slipping it back in and stapling the wound shut for fear of the eternal embarrasment calling an ambulance would bring. Then of course you need to settle back for several weeks as the aforementioned part turns black and swells to the size of a water melon before realising that it "might " be a good time to seek professional help. This really happened. Bizarre magazine is a wonderful and informative periodical. ;)

Al's got a Dremel!

 

A sad story I had to get the guy to get me one out the back as none were on the shelf. The one he brought had an open box which set alarm bells ringing. Then at the counter I was going to ask if I could check it was all there since it was already open. But I didn't do anything. I got home and thought "ok so whats missing" - Things like this always happen to me, instructions missing, accessories missing etc.

 

So I open up the box and what's missing?

 

The bloody Dremel! All I got was a plug that had been cut off. Turns out the dremel meant for that box is the one I was playing around with on display.
