When I bought my first Dremel, it was hard to find instructions and simple guides to get started with the Dremel. This article will serve as a general guide for Dremel and rotary tool users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably have a lot of questions about using the Dremel, not everything is self-explanatory, so let me show you how you should approach getting started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"content-in-this-article\">Content In this article:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Types Of Dremel Rotary Tools<\/li><li>Main Controls <\/li><li>Understanding Collets<\/li><li>Dremel Bits <\/li><li>6 Tips For Using The Dremel <\/li><li>Attachments and add ons<\/li><li>Common Questions About The Dremel <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Beginner-Guide-Thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Dremel Beginner Guide \" class=\"wp-image-1017\" width=\"605\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Beginner-Guide-Thumbnail.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Beginner-Guide-Thumbnail-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Beginner-Guide-Thumbnail-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-a-dremel\">What Is A Dremel? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Dremel is a rotary tool that is used for woodcarving, metalwork, engraving, cutting plastics, DIY projects, sanding, grinding, sharpening, and more. A Dremel uses bits that are attached in the chuck of the Dremel tool, different types of bits are used for different purposes. The shaft of the Dremel rotates from 5000 to 35000 RPMs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word Dremel can be a bit confusing. Dremel is actually the name of a company that is well known for producing power tools. But they specialize in rotary tools, so the Dremel name has become a common term for rotary tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so, when people talk about using a Dremel, they are generally talking about the Dremel rotary tool or a rotary tool made by some other brand. Like Milwaukee for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-dremel-rotary-tools\">Types Of Dremel Rotary Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s get quickly get to know the different types of Dremel rotary tools. I will put them into three categories. We have the cordless rotary tools, we have the corded flagships, and then the DIY rotary tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-flagship-dremel-models-corded\">The Flagship Dremel Models &#8211; Corded<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dremel 3000, Dremel 4000, Dremel 4300, Dremel 200, Dremel 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The models listed above are the most common Dremel tools for people to buy<\/strong>. The Dremel 3000, 4000, and 4300 are very similar in use, they are powerful and have a fairly similar price point.  The great thing about these models is that the speed control is a lot more versatile than the Dremel 100 and 200. You can choose speeds from 5000 RPMs up to 35000 RPMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Dremel 200, and 100 are older models of the Dremel rotary tool<\/strong>. But they still hold up to the test of time. They are a fair bit cheaper than the other flagship models, and they will do most jobs you want them to do. But a big downside with the 100 and 200 models is their lack of speed control. The Dremel 100 only has one speed (3500RPM) and the Dremel 200 has two speeds (15000 and 35000 RPM)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-cordless-dremels\">The Cordless Dremels <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dremel 8220, Dremel Lite 7760, Dremel Micro 8050<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dremel 8220 &#8211; <\/strong>This is a powerful cordless Dremel tool. This tool is just as powerful as the corded Dremels. The greatest advantage of the tool is that you can use it anywhere without relying on a power outlet. The downside is that the battery only gives 30 &#8211; 45 minutes of use from a full charge. Dremel 8220 is good for tasks that can be done fairly quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dremel Lite 7760 &#8211;<\/strong> The Dremel Lite is just a less powerful version of the Dremel 8220. It has a less powerful motor, has a lower rpm range, and is smaller. Dremel 7760 is great for DIY work and simple tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dremel Micro 8050 &#8211; <\/strong>The Dremel Micro is one of the smallest rotary tools the Dremel brand makes. It is great for doing simple DIY work and simple tasks. Unlike the two other cordless Dremels, this tool does not have a battery that is removable. You will have to use the charging station to charge the built-in battery.   <span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">( Could Not Find A Shop That Sells This Tool, Might Be Discontinued )<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-diy-dremel\">The DIY Dremel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dremel Stylo+ 2050<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dremel Stylo+ 2550<\/strong> &#8211; This Dremel deserves its own category. In my opinion, it is the best DIY Dremel to use for small and light tasks. It is corded, very small, has a comfortable grip, and runs quietly. The one downside of this tool is that it is less powerful than many of the other models. The motor will stop if you apply too much pressure when using the tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"basic-dremel-controls\">Basic Dremel Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dremel rotary tools are used in the same way, but with differences in design.

But it will be very easy to identify since it will have the universal power On and OFF symbol on it. It can also be presented as a 0 and a 1. Where 1 is ON and zero is OFF. The start and stop buttons\/sliders have a blue color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"speed-control\">Speed Control <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Speed-Control.jpg\" alt=\"Dremel Speed Control\" class=\"wp-image-1020\" width=\"447\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Speed-Control.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Speed-Control-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Speed-Control-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><figcaption>Speed Control<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Dremels have some kind of speed control. With the exception being the Dremel 100, which is single speed. The speed control determines how fast the shaft will rotate, also called RPM. Depending on the model, the Dremel will have an RPM from 5000 to 35000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Dremels have a range of pre-determined speeds that you can switch between, this will be presented in the form of numbers (Ex. 1-5). Some Dremels has a slider where you can choose speeds throughout the whole range of RPM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spindle-lock-button\">Spindle Lock Button<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Lock-Button.jpg\" alt=\"Dremel Spindle Lock Button\" class=\"wp-image-1021\" width=\"513\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Lock-Button.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Lock-Button-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mainlywoodwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dremel-Lock-Button-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><figcaption>Spindle Lock Button<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The spindle lock button, also called the shaft lock button or collet lock button is used to keep the spindle from turning when we want to release or tighten the bit in our Dremel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To tighten and release the collet nut which holds the bit in place, we use the small wrench that is provided in the tool kit for the Dremel.

And if you are producing any dust while using it, you should also wear a dust mask. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How you should use a Dremel will entirely depend on what you are using it for. But there are some good techniques and practices that we can use, so you can learn to use the tool safely and make yourself comfortable with using it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-unplug-the-power-when-changing-bits\">1. Unplug The Power When Changing Bits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From time to time we have to change bits on our Dremel. Maybe you need a new bit for a different task or the bit you are using has become worn out and you need a new one.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When changing a bit it is always a good idea to unplug the Dremel power cord from the socket. Accidentally turning on the power while changing bits is more common than you might think. On some Dremel models, like the Stylo+ 2050, the On and Off button and the Spindle Lock button for changing bits are very similar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here is a video on how to change a bit:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Change Bit on a Dremel and Rotary Tools\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8sfc4uMO6fk?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-start-the-dremel-unobstructed\">2. Start The Dremel Unobstructed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Only start the Dremel when it is not in contact with other material to avoid the Dremel bit from jumping and being guided by the material on startup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start the Dremel, then do your cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also be a good idea to not power on the Dremel at max RPM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-use-the-right-rpms\">3. Use The Right RPMs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For most of the time when using a Dremel, setting the RPM to somewhere in the middle of the scale will be appropriate. The most common RPM I find myself using the Dremel at is anywhere from 20000 to 25000 RPMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for some bits, the optimal RPM will be different. Dremel has its own recommendations for the max RPMs you should run the different bits at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dremel Max RPM Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sanding Drums:<\/strong> 35000 RPMs <\/li><li><strong>Cutting Wheels:<\/strong> 35000 RPMs<\/li><li><strong>Polishing Buffs:<\/strong> 20000 RPMs<\/li><li><strong>Sandig Disc:s<\/strong> 20000 RPMs<\/li><li><strong>Grinding Stones:<\/strong> 20000 RPMs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the right RPMs will be subjective and change depending on the user. So your best bet is to test the different bits at different RPMs and see what you like the best and are comfortable with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-let-the-dremel-do-the-work\">4. Let The Dremel Do The Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When using the Dremel for cutting steel, cutting wood, cleaning rust, and so on, let the tool do the work. Do not use too much force on the bits or the tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using too much force will cause the bits to wear out quicker, it will increase the probability that you lose control of the tool, and it will be bad for the motor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cutting steel is a great example, it can be hard to be patient if you are cutting a thick piece of hardened steel with the Dremel. It is tempting to use a little bit of extra force to cut through the steel quicker. The result will be that the cutting discs wear out or even breaks, and the tool will have a big chance of tearing out while cutting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be patient<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-use-protective-glasses-gloves-and-a-dust-mask\">5. Use Protective Glasses, Gloves And A Dust Mask<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When using the Dremel it is always a good idea to wear <strong>protective glasses and gloves<\/strong>. And if you are producing any dust while using it, you should also wear a dust mask.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-explore-the-thousands-of-different-uses\">6. Explore The Thousands Of Different Uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to get to know your Dremel is to use it. If you get in the habit of using the Dremel whenever you can you will learn to use the tool at lightning speeds. The Dremel is a truly versatile tool, and you will be surprised how often it comes in handy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"attachments-for-the-dremel\">Attachments For The Dremel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Attachments are add-ons that you can get for your Dremel to increase the capabilities of the tool.

Especially if you are going to use the Dremel for long periods at a time. For example, if you are wood carving, engraving, or shaping anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flex Shaft is basically a stylo for your Dremel. It reduces the weight you have to hold while using the Dremel drastically and gives you the ability to be more flexible and smooth in your movements. When using the Flex Shaft you need to hang up your Dremel motor somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-the-right-angle-attachment\">2.
