The Ultimate Guide To Dremel Attachments And Accessories

[@robertgreen6451]

I own 2 of them, 8220 & 4000. So many things can be done with this tool. I call it my "MacGyver" Tool. For those who would know that term. :)

[@wayne8797]

Giving away our ages 😅

This was very informative, so many attachments I didn't know existed.

[@WhiteChevy4.8]

I used the cutting guide with my hyper tough rotary tool on a 80% AR lower. Worked pretty well.

[@chrismalone3233]

Thank you for making this video! It's very comprehensive and helpful to learn how each attachment can be used!

Great!

The stylist Dremel tool is a great addition to my collection. I use it the most

[@christoanthonissen]

Very informative video!! The detailers grip is supposed to be gripped in a different way than your video. The angle between the grip and the tool is serving as a rest between the thumb and indexfinger almost like gripping a pencil. Works a charm!

[@rotarycrafts8760]

I'll test it out the way you described a little bit more. Might be better then. Thanks for watching :)

[@aanboo85]

Sooo useful. Dremel should compensate you, because I think many folks are going to buy some of these accesories after learning about them on your channel. That includes me :-) (I saw your Biltema ruler, right away it reminds me of the store when I visited Norway 4 years ago. Cheers!)

Dremel looks like woodworking for children with all these attachments haha! But it looks awesome! Good video

[@franzjeitler7323]

Hey there, brilliant overview, thanks a lot! If I may ask for your (or anyone else's) advice: If I get the plunge router, I can skip the multipurpose cutting guide and the circle cutter/straight edge attachment and can still do basically anything I would be able to do with the two, with only the plunge router? Or would you say it is worth to own all three of those? That is, are the plunger router vs. the other two at least partially redundant in functionality or am I mistaken? Really, it's less about the money and more about the available space in my toolbox.

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Yeah. The plunge router basically does everything that the cutting guide and circle cutter can do. I like using the plunge router better, it is more stable and easier to work with. But the plunge router is not able to make really small circles like you can with the circle cutter. But if I were to only choose one of the 3 attachments, I would 100% choose the circle cutter.

[@Festivejelly]

I know dremel gets a lot of hate by purists but holy crap mine has been so versatile for me, and often gets the job done for what I need.

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Yeah, exactly. Most of the time there is a better tool for the job than a Dremel. But the versatility of a Dremel is pretty insane.

This tool (the Dremel) looks like it's a really good idea and very versatile, but is there a large version that can work with larger drill bits, e.g. 8mm?

[@XavisStreet]

I recently purchased a Dremel Planer attachment. I don’t use it very often, but it is handy when you need. Unfortunately, Dremel no longer make it.

[@BlaBlaBlaInDaHouse]

Great video! Thank you for this

[@ettore1036]

Hi I'd like to ask you a question, I own a different rotary tool very similar to the dremel, do this attachments adapt to other brands? DO they have adjustable grips to block the tool in place or are they fixed on a standard dremel ?

[@siegfriednoet]

Very interesting video ! I want to buy a Dremel but I'm in doubt of buying the 4250 or the wireless version 8240, they are exactly the same but the 8240 is wireless. I've read somewhere that the battery only lasts for 10 minutes, is that correct and what would you prefer, the wired version or battery version ?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hi. The dremel 4250 is solid. The battery for the 8240 lasted about 30 minutes of woodcarving for me. I'd recommend getting the 8250 instead if you want to go cordless. More battery time and better power. Even the 8220 has about 20 minutes of full power work in it. It kind of depends what you want to use it for, for routing work I really like having a cordless tool, for woodcarving I like the cable since I'm gonna use the flex shaft anyways and be more stationary.

[@siegfriednoet]

@@rotarycrafts8760 Thank you sir, very interesting the 8250/8260, it seems it has a better battery over the 8240 and it's also brushless. Can't the flex shaft be used with the wireless 8250 if needed ?

I can't answers from Dremel. No chart with the newest models, zippo. Will all attachments work on the 8250? Flex shaft, circle cutter, straight edge guide, shaping platform, etc?

No worries. Yeah, maybe some confuse it with 2050. Which is not compatible with the attachments. If you check out one of my recent videos "Dremel 8260 review" I go into depth about the 8250. 8250 and 8260 are basically the same, except Bluetooth and cosmetic design.

[@pthrelkeld090]

I love how you just use a bicycle chain as a demonstration for sharpening a chainsaw chain 😂😂😂

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hehe, gotta use what you got.

[@user-rx8qq8sk9ydv1ce5ib]

Awesome video. Can’t believe the dermel has no accessory to cut wood in a straight line! Something like a fenced workstation. Have been looking here and there but there is just this mini saw which is also a free cutting not a straight line !!, is it possible to use the table 231 with the right angle 575 accessory to achieve that? Thanks

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hi. The fact is that a Dremel is not really a good tool for cutting 100% straight lines. You have straight edge guides on the plunge router, and the circle cutter attachment. But for doing straight lines I would either do the best I can with free hand with the ez544 wood cutting wheel or use another tool. Haha, your idea about the Routing table and the right angle would be awesome to try out. But I don't think It would work.

Hi. I would think so yes. I have never used the 100. But I checked out some videos right now of people using it, and it seems like people are using the attachments with it.

[@pxprimary3790]

Great video.... Question... were you sharpening a bicycle chain or similar when talking about chainsaw sharpening? And was it a joke?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hehe. Yep. It was a bicycle chain. I just didn't have a chainsaw chain at my disposal at the moment. So I just used the bicycle chain to show the concept.

[@--LZ---]

Hello mate, great videos, informative, great pacing and narration , bravo. I have a question for you, what do you think about the 8250? Im considering buying it for automotive use, i think the cordless is the way to go but im not sure about the negatives of it... would appreciate a reply, and thanks for these videos!

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hi. I just got the 8220 a couple of months ago and I love it. The 8250 is similar only it has a little bit more battery time I think. The only downside is if you are using it for heavy duty tasks ex. Grinding/shaping steel with carbide burrs the battery will run out fairly quickly. Maybe 20 - 30 mins of runtime I would think. If you can work with that or maybe even get a spare battery, it should work just fine. ')

[@--LZ---]

@@rotarycrafts8760 well, luckily for me i found an old dremel in my dad's toolbox, 395 from 2003... gonna use that to see if i need something more.. while checking out cordless rotaries I saw that ryobi have a decent looking one, seems very versatile but i dont think you can get a 90 degree attachment on it... Im considering porting my cylinder head with it, hopefully it'll get the job done.

[@domantlen6231]

Why dremel doesn't make cutting table? they made rotary table and mini saw attachement but i would love to do some more precise cuts, whether its wood or metal.

[@rotarycrafts8760]

My guess is that it would be hard to make a safe table and blade. Id love that as well, but serrated saw blades and rotary tools do not really work well together. I've seen some builds of this kind of stuff, seems sketchy with that high rpm and low cutting diameter. Kickback will be insane.

[@wayne8797]

The cutting guide works with router bits I believe, making it the poor man’s (my) router attachment 😝 it’s also why I ended up with a 4000 instead 3100 since the guide is exactly the difference between the two kits and it comes with the 4000 not the 3100 😅

[@pandemonic66]

Can you please help me? I need a dremel tool that can remove screws/nails sticking out inside a 2 inch sliding door gap space. I think alot of the dremel tools don't fit 2inch gap, would you know which dremel took is small enough to fit inside there and powerful enough to cut off nails/screws?

How deep can the Dremel cut into wood when you're using the cutting guide?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hi. It depends on how much noise you will tolerate. I don't like cutting any deeper than 1/3" (8mm). But at that depth it will still make a high pitch noise and be hard to control. If you make several shallow passes at 1/8" you should be able to get through 1" thick material with something like the 561 tile cutting bit. But I find cutting thick material with Dremel a little bit tedious and I find it hard to achieve a clean cut, but it can be done.

there is a 3d printable adapter for dremel so it fits the proxxon micromot attachments, which are cheaper and made of metal and not plastics. the threads on dremel are M19 and to fit the proxxon stuff we need a M19 20mm wide adapter.

[@luminousfractal420]

owned two dremmels, not great. on both the chuck would bounce around in and out. parts cost a fortune, and eventually the power switch locked out so it wouldnt turn off. dangerous. i realised for the price of a dremmel and one tool part i could get a proper tool that would last a lifetime and cost less to run. my dremmel is a cutoff tool only now. a sketchy one. i picked up a tiny cheap ($20)chinese hand drill thats outperforming it in all other tasks atm. its recheargeable usbc and even has a keyless chuck.
