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..

The harbor freight $6 5 pack of diamond cutting wheels is a can't miss. With frequent use, a package lasts me years.

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?

I just got a kutzall burr recently. Expensive but a amazing when you need to remove a lot of wood.

PROXXON or Saburr-tooth both have a less expensive variant of the Kutzall. Edit: otherwise look on Amazon for burr sets. They are not very expensive and work very well. something like this

Probably best to pick up some cheapish carbide burrs theres plenty on amazon. Once you know what you like look into kutzall and or saber burrs

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.

I got a couple of cheapo sets off Amazon with cutters and diamond burrs that work pretty well. Kutzall also makes some expensive (but nice) cutters, as does Saburrtooth.

Get some tungsten carbide bits. Only thing I found that can handle hard wood and highly resonated surfaces without gumming up or biting the grain. The drums are really more for sanding and finishing.

April 19, 2022 -
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.

I'd recommend the proxxon micromot series over the original Dremel. The tool is basically the same, most bits are interchangeable, but it's a bit more sturdy. And the accessoires are (mostly) made of metal, while the dremel is plastic. If you don't want a lot of stuff, a cordless drill and some small files get the job done as well.

I have a Black and Decker RTX rotary tool (it was around $40), which seemed to have much better reviews than the Dremel brand when I got it ~5 years ago. It’s been great and is compatible with the Dremel bits/accessories. Its main failing is the universal chuck that comes with it. It’s actually fine for most uses, and holds bits like you’d expect. But if you ever get into modifying pins for challenge locks, you put the pin in the chuck like it’s a bit and grind away material while the pin spins (like a makeshift lathe). But the part that holds the pin is too recessed on the B&D chuck, so it can’t hold really tiny pins. So while I’d happily recommend the B&D rotary tool, I’d also recommend spending an extra $12 and getting the actual Dremel 4486 keyless chuck, which works perfectly on the B&D.

r/Tools on Reddit: What is your recommendation for the most versatile rotary tool?
February 15, 2021 -
I'm just an all-around hobbyist who basically owns zero power tools.
For the time being, I've made do with hand tools.
I know that some people use their Dremel or whatever-brand rotary tool for the carving intricate patterns and stuff like that. I'm not really into making art or carving designs. I'm more interested in being able to sharpen garden tools, sand/grind pieces of wood, and perhaps drill small holes and quickly insert screws.
Should I be going for a rotary tool or should I just get a drill? Also, I'm thinking cordless is the way to go, but it seems like cordless rotary tools don't have the power for tough woodworking jobs.
I'm not looking to build an extensive power tool collection, but I am hoping to expand my ability to accomplish simple woodworking tasks.

Hands down the most used and best tool I think I own is my makita subcompact drill. I have others but I grab that as often as I can and use it more than any other tool I have.

Hands down, you should get a small drill (Milwaukee M12 Fuel, Makita subcompact, Dewalt 12v would be my recommendation). A Dremel or other rotary tool is generally high speed, low torque. And while you can put a chuck in, you're limited and your ability to put in screws etc is basically nil. I've got a pretty established shop and I do own a Dremel, but it gets used very rarely. Most people would be better off putting money towards many other tools FIRST before they get a Dremel.

Choosing Power Carving Bits - Woodcarving Illustrated
October 1, 2019 - Generally, the larger the size of the bit’s head, the larger the diameter of the shank. Use the largest bit you comfortably can for the area you are carving. When inserting the bit into your rotary power carver, make sure the shank is as far into the tool as it will go.

February 14, 2024 - My auto/fab and woodworking interests have been better suited to 1/4" shank air-tools. On the rare occasions I did break out the 1/8" shank rotary grinder I never found the level of precision I'd hoped for. I found it too big to hold like a pencil, yet too awkward for fine work with the palm grip. The kits are full of tiny little bits ...
