I passed on the Warrior kit at Harbor Freight. Does anybody know if this is the best value out there? I just picked up my first Rotary Tool today and this kit was ~$25..

I have a Ryobi rotary tool that I have used for one carving, but getting the large detail out of the basswood took a long time. Does anyone have any recommendations for a course burr set in the UK?

Edit: had to type this quick before going to work so I was kinda vague. I want to start sculpture carving on a small scale before moving up to bigger stuff. Looking for necessary Dremel bits to get off the ground before expanding.

Hello, I decided to try my hand at wood carving recently and picked myself up a rotary tool only to have my first lesson be that it doesn't have any wood carving bits, it has some sanding drums but most of the other pieces are for metal. Anyone know some fairly affordable bit options for wood?

edit: it has to be a size 1/8 or 3/32 i think.

what model of dremel and what main bits would you recommend to start into lock cutaways, and crafting tools moving forward?

It seems a Dremel is de rigueur - perhaps especially for an apartment dweller without room for a workshop -

BUT

there are of course a BUNCH of models.

and is Dremel THE brand or are the better alternatives as there seem to be with any power tools.

your experience/recommendations appreciated.

with thanks m.c.
