The Ultimate Dremel Bit Guide

Now, this is how a YT video should be. Straight to the point, without any fillers such as, "I'll show you now", "later in the video" and so on. Great job mate.

Remember not to use diamond bits on metal. The diamonds can get stuck in metal and get ripped out of the bit. Diamond bits are for stone, glass, and ceramics.

"The routing bits are just like regular routing, just not as good." 🤣 I love your honesty.

I've been using a rotary tool for over 25 years in my art business, engraving glass and metal, and power carving wood. There are many bits that I've never used and you did a great job explaining them. About a year ago I used the serrated saw blade to cut a small section of paneling from a wall. I accidentally struck a nail and the shaft bent at a 90° angle and dislodged from the collet at high speed. It struck me in the collar bone area and caused a small cut. Thankfully I was wearing a thick shirt or the cut would have been much worse. A couple of inches higher and it would have struck my exposed neck. These blades can potentially be VERY dangerous. Thanks for a great, well explained video.

Thank you so much! I’ve hard a hard time finding a comprehensive video that really explains each rotary tool bit, and I especially appreciate the short video demonstrations!

Very well explained with actual demos. No other demos are as well done as yours. Very happy to learn from you info and demos. Thank you

I've just bought lots of bits with no idea what they do. The video is excellent.

perfect and rare video on YouTube with detailed explanation of each tool. Thank you!!!😊

I made a set of red oak grips for my pistol using my Dremel, and whenever people see and feel it, they're surprised by the quality, because of the memes of kitchen table gunsmiths Bubba-ing stuff with a Dremel, looking like crap. I found the best way to work is to hang the tool from the ceiling, and have that flexible extension thing come down that lets you use it like a pen. Also helps to have super steady hands. My shop teacher called me "the human jig," because I could make a series of unguided cuts that almost look machined. Obviously a real jig is better for precision work, but when you're just doing creative/artsy stuff, free-hand is deeply satisfying. It's like a meditation, because you have to lower your heart rate, control your breathing, and clear your mind of distractions. It's just you, your tool, and the material. Even if you're not that creative, I recommend people try it anyway. There's something deeply satisfying about having something tangible you created after a few hours of "meditation." Something that will last, and can be of heirloom quality. It's a part of you that will exist long after you're dead, and a skill set you can pass on to a new generation.

This was amazing and helpful! I like that you have examples of their use as you’re talking about them as well as the pros and cons. Informative and concise. Thank you!

One of the best demos on Youtube. Even I could follow it. Learnt a lot. very well done.

Using the metal cutting disk on plastic often melts the plastic and does not make a clean cut. The plastic cutting disk does not. :)

Great video. The editing was perfect. Straight to the point, very concise, showing examples and including the names in multiple spots.

Found a dremel kit at a dump site still works like a dream. Just this video alone has taught me so much on the many features and i thank you

Finally a decently detailed and well demonstrated video on all those bits... and pieces, which doesn't take one forever to watch. I get so easily distracted and confused if they're too long. 😔 Many thanks!

I found the metal brush ideal for shaping foam; it wears down very quickly and safety goggles+good aeration is definitely required; but few tools allow that kind of precision and smoothness on such a soft material

Oh my God! Thank you so much this video is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't think it would be so hard to find somebody to explain to me what each Dremel bit does. Again thank you for sharing your lifesaver.❤

Here I leave my thanks for the elementary explanation about the functions and nomenclature of the Bits that we use in machines like the Dremmel. Although I haven't fully looked for this type of explanation elsewhere, I did happen to stumble upon your video on this subject, which I was pleased with. Thank you very much.

Great explanation on the different bits that I have but really didn't know what they were for. Thanks.

That was very helpful, and saved us all a lot of time and money when approaching the magical Demel bit cabinet at the hardware store. Thanks!
