I remember watching videos of a guy wood carving with a Dremel on youtube. His Dremel seemed to remove wood a lot quicker than my Dremel could ever do. And I did not realize why. But after some time, I’ve realized that a key part of wood carving with a Dremel is choosing the right bits. So how do we choose the best bits for woodcarving, and which ones should you use? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best bits for wood carving with a Dremel are sanding drums, diamonds bits, Kutzall burrs, Saburrtooth burrs, The EZ-Lock Wood Cutting Wheel, Routing Bits, and Tungsten Carbide Burrs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the bits that I have found most useful for wood carving with a Dremel. Some of them might seem a little strange, like the sanding drum. But I will explain further in the article why I choose the bits mentioned above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will not just be another affiliate article where I list the top 10 bits listed on a given website. These picks come from hundreds of hours of use and actual wood carving with a Dremel. And from my own experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get to know the best bits for wood carving with a Dremel, and why they are the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drum sanders for the Dremel are surprisingly effective for removing large amounts of wood <\/strong>and shaping the wood. These are actually some of the wood carving bits I use the most for my wood carvings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanding bands range from super fine grits used for smooth finishes <\/strong>to rough grits<\/strong> that will remove large amounts of wood effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drums are made in two main sizes, 1\/2-inch and 1\/4-inch in diameter. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanding bands are also really cheap and simple to obtain. You can buy a year’s worth of use for about 10-20 dollars. Sanding drums and bands are also included in the starter kit when buying the Dremel or rotary tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, when using the drum sanders for wood carving you are bound to the shape of the drum. This can become an inconvenience, especially if you are doing detailed work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood carving with a drum sander works best when you follow the shape of the drum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot use the top\/head of the sanding drum for sanding, this is made of rubber and will leave a black mark on the wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanding also produces more sawdust<\/strong> than other wood carving bits, so be sure to use a mask. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even though there are some disadvantages to using the sanding drums, I find myself using the sanding drums most of the time when wood carving. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
