The Ultimate Guide To Dremel Attachments And Accessories

In this video, I explain all the different Dremel attachments and give some examples of what they can be used for.
Some of the attachments we look at are the Dremel plunge router 335, the Dremel workstation 220, and the flex shaft 225.
We also take a look at the lesser-known attachments like the Dremel routing table 231, the Dremel dust blower 490, and all the other Dremel attachments I could find.

[@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 ?

[@--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.

[@tek9058]

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.

@@rotarycrafts8760 Beautiful shot. I've had a Dremel for over a decade, I haven't used it too much and stored it in it's case until recently.

Thank you for the video. I have a dremel 100. Do you think the compatibility will be the same as with the 200?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

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.

[@barbarastahl3147]

I need a video for a Dremel 100 and all the accessories, please 0:35

[@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.

[@rotarycrafts8760]

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.

Depends on where you are from? Most countries have them stocked in stores where they sell tools. Or you can buy some Dremel kits on Amazon. I left some links in the comments.

[@UncommonS3nse]

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.

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.

[@tek9058]

@@RustedOatmeali purchased the proxxon 12v system, it has analog regulation and not steps like dremel, power supply can bring it down way below 5000 rpm and costs ~25€ per tool. dremel is not a hobby tool, bad for thin wood, plastics and precision in general, just melts and burns stuff. flex shaft is also too bulky and as heavy as the dremel itself. also accesories are overprized compared to proxxon and of much lower quality (plastics vs metal). like the press, router etc. but with a 3d printed adapter dremel can be used with proxxon attachments

doesnt matter how your holding it, the problem isnt so much the shape, its that all the weight is at the top end, socyou have a gyroscope flapping aroubd with almost no suport from your hand. modern motors are much smaller and more efficient, dremel is old and clunky. they really would have helped themselves if theyd made the flex extension work well. but thats also badly made and is all slop with again, no support.

There's no need to be rude :-( You could have said this much more politely, with *constructive critique* , explaining the correct way to hold it, and complimenting the rest of the video. Just insulting doesn't help anyone, it just hurts.
