A Dremel is maybe not the go-to tool when looking for a tool that can cut wood. But the Dremel is surprisingly good at cutting small pieces of wood and when you want to make plunge cuts. It is however very limited by the power output and the size of the material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel is a good tool to cut small pieces of wood. To cut wood with a Dremel you can use the Dremel Cutting Wheel #544, The Dremel Mini Saw #670, The Dremel Plunge Router #335, or The Dremel Multipurpose Cutting Kit. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I’m going to assume that you have the Dremel Rotary Tool. Like the Dremel 3000, 4000, 4300, or similar Dreme that can use Dremel Attachments and bits. Let’s get into it and look at the four options we have for cutting wood with a Dremel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dremel wood cutting wheel #544 is my favorite way to cut wood with the Dremel. It is great for cutting small pieces of wood and is quick to set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cutting Wheel is made from carbide and can be used on wood, fiberglass, plastics, and laminat<\/strong>e. Do not use it on metals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest piece of wood <\/strong>the cutting wheel can cut in a single passing is 1\/2-Inch ( 1.3 cm)<\/strong>. You can double that if you cut from both sides. But if you want to do proper one-inch cuts in wood, I would recommend using a saw instead of the Dremel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cutting wheel uses the EZ-lock mandrel #E402, this is usually not included when you buy the cutting wheel. So be sure that you either buy it or have it available before buying the cutting wheel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to saw wood with the the Dremel Wood Cutting Wheel #544<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Attach the Cut of Wheel to the EZ-Lock Mandrel<\/li>
  2. Attach the bit to the Dremel<\/li>
  3. Turn on Dremel <\/li>
  4. Set the Dremel to 35 000 rpm or the highest you can <\/li>
  5. Make contact with the wood and start sawing<\/li>
  6. Keep a steady hand<\/li>
  7. Try to make the cut in one direction, all the way through. The cutting wheel has a tendency to jump out if you move it to much back and forward<\/li>
  8. Keep on going till you you are finished. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
