Introduction

The Dremel is a small high speed rotary tool that can hold a range of different cutters for purposes including sanding, grinding, cutting, engraving, polishing and carving.

Great Reasons to Use the Dremel

Control: If you're trying sand a model in tight places, do some work on a freeform sculptural work or cut/grind something off on a large project the Dremel is the best tool for the job as it is easily maneuverable.

Materials

With the appropriate accessory the Dremel can be used on timber, metals, plastic and stone.
