any recomendations for " TOOLS", used with a dremel, for shaping thin pieces of hard wood ?

These Carbide bits would probably be overkill, even for hardwood, because they cut hard things very fast. And they may leave a rougher surface than you want. For fast shaping; they'd definitely do the job, but I surmise that a softer bit would do just as well on hardwood. A simple sanding drum (2 sizes that I know of) should work very well for finishing and fine shaping. To remove large areas; try a saw blade. "Rotary Saw Blade": available individually or in sets. I usually work with metal, but I have used the tools listed on wood and plastic.

I use these in my air die grinder. They are just as sharp as the larger ones and work great for finer detail in tight spaces. They also remove allot of material fairly fast. The only thing to be careful of is how far you allow the burr to stick out. They bend under medium pressure but I definitely recommend them. They are they perfect tool for detail and tight spaces

These Tungsten Carbide Cutters will have absolutely no trouble cutting any hard wood or "metal" for that fact. They seem to be really good tools and do a wonderful job of removing unwanted wood or metal from a surface. You will probably have to be "easy handed" on them, for they are aggressive. Once you get used to them I think you will be extremely satisfied, and they don't ware out very easily.

Klein HD2000-9NE "High-Leverage Side-Cutting Pliers - Heavy-Duty Cutting" is what I used. Worked great.

A Radom orbital sander would be a better choice of tools for sanding wood. Preferably with dust collection attached to the sander. Exposed nail heads or screws could prove to be a problem with the sanding discs though.

mscdirect.com is a good source of milling cutters. You can also purchase the collets needed for various shenk diameters.

Beth,The carbide and or diamond particle bits should be able to. Try them out on a piece of scrap material first. Be sure your material is held down so it won't move. Try a gentle touch first.You may want to "GOOGLE" DREMEL bits for cutting stone and hard wood...there maybe more robust bits for that purpose.What do you make?I hope this helps.Tom Lewis 602 214 4617

I made my own and they work well. I went to my local Lowes as they sell bolts, washers and nuts individually not in a multiple bag of pieces. I had some hardwood pieces around so I cut the lengths I wanted, made openings for the bolts and what I made works great. I don't have a need for metal clamps as the Dremel and the press are light weigh. This is just a suggestion, make you own.

You could use a cut-off tool. I have a cordless Dewalt that would works well.

That's beyond both my pay-grade and level of expertise. Mebbe Makita can answer, but a reciprocating saw with the wider variety of specialty blades would seem a good answer.

I would not recommend trying that. Definitely not the ideal tool for that job, as these are really made with wood in mind.

My experience with this tool is that the bits are very very very fine for fine detailed work and you cant get bigger bits or burs is what they are called...I would get an dremel tool for your engraving

I used a hand saw, but this material is quite strong. A table saw would be ok I'd think

I would suggest a more heavy duty saw. I used this one on some 3/8 oak plywood. Although it punched holes and cut through the material. It took way too long and was not very good at clean straight cuts. I would only use this for light sanding.

This rotary tool is as good as a Dremel brand in my opinion,but to answer your question,the flex shaft is a flexible extension that is attached to the tool so you can get into tight spots. The cutoff blades that come with it are more intended for metal,but I guess you could use it to cut wood too.

Hammer, anvil and scrap iron will work ... Won't be pretty but that's how I used them

Yes you can. I do it with a small block of wood. Not using a block of wood to make it soft might crush your tool.be careful and safe with this unit. Works grate

This Dremel only takes a 1/8" cutter, Larry. If you want one that takes a 1/4" let me know. There are a few possibilities. wiz datreewiz@gmail.com
