- What are the different Dremel bits and burrs for? How do you use different Dremel bits? Hopefully in this Dremel bit guide, I’ll answer those questions. If you need different Dremel bit tutorials and demos that I didn’t get to, please comment below. I’m hoping though that this is the most complete Dremel bit guide out there to-date. Please comment below if you think I missed anything - thanks for watching!

⬅⬅⬅For RPM video and changing bits/troubleshooting video🥰🥰🥰
Feel free to check out my second channel! I'd appreciate it greatly.
Excellent. Beautiful work
Thank you for being straight to the point and not spending 15 min rambling about Gloves, pets, and other bullshit like 90% of youtube hosts do.
dont be so picky man , most tutorials out there are made by normal people who is not good at shooting video and editting, be more tolerant to the quality of tutorials or you wont be happy most of the time
😂
Thank God there are others like me, so annoyed by useless content, videos can be 50 percent shorter and less time consuming if everyone is too the point
I did a little rambling for sure but thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed my video style. I'm also not a huge fan of filler when I'm trying to learn something.
@@helloguys6946I think this is an unfortunate side effect of having everything at the top of our fingers nearly instantaneously. Thank you for reminding me that a lot of this information that is available so quickly and rather freely, is brought to us from people that just have a passion and a joy of doing what they are Sharing, that they aren’t professionals, paid researchers, partnered information providers, etc. thank you for that. I am known to be impatient myself, so this is something that I need to work on my self. Appreciated!
Dremel said nearly 100 years ago: We make a thing, that spins things. Great. Then they spent 100 years inventing stuff, they can spin really fast.
Spinning things real fast really was a marvelous development.
Top Video!
A tip regarding the black (brown) exploding discs that are intended for cutting and are always included. If you use two discs at the same time instead of one, you will get a wider cut, but the pieces will break much less often. Nevertheless, you should let the disc cut and not try to speed it up by applying pressure. This tip should be worth its weight in gold, especially for people with little sensitivity.
I own just about every dremel bit imaginable.
What I use 99% of the time....whatever bit was in there from the last time...and make it work.
Fair enough! I think I change bits too often for my own good thinking one may have an edge over the others.
@@LogsCarvingClubyour logic is sound, you must be analytical aswell, hahaha.
@@APinTheAK lol
There might be one part you don't have yet! I found it recently when someone close passed away and left a Dremel set. It contained an original Dremel mount that had LED lights embedded and doesn't use a battery, but the rotation of the shaft to power the LED's. It's genius. You place a special ring on the shaft with a magnet that's polarized in such a way that the LED housing inside coil can generate power for the LEDs like a dynamo with induction.
I've got one of those. It uses magnetic induction to power the LEDs. You're right it is genius.
That's interesting! I have a couple LM1 LED Light Attachments, but I believe those have batteries. I don't really use them just because my work station is well lit. I'm curious why I haven't seen your version with the newer models!
@@LogsCarvingClub I expect them to be discontinued. I found an Amazon listing where people complained about the LED tool addition because the magnetic ring that is used to generate the power for the LEDs sometimes came loose while working and started to heat up by friction. I haven't noticed this myself but I think that there were too many issues with it. It's called the "Dremel 677 Dremelite Rotary Tool Work Light". If you Google that, you'll find some info on it :)
@@LogsCarvingClubProbably because nowadays batteries and LED's have become so cheap. Any supplier can get you parts for a battery-operated light, but a dynamo-type system requires custom parts (and engineering). Shame that such elegant solutions are not considered cost effective anymore.
That's pretty rad, MarinusMakesStuff, thanks for sharing that! I'm definitely going to run that by my significant other..
I have no need for this information (for now), but I still watched the vid in its entirety. Very nicely presented, I like your narration.
Thank you for watching anyways!
Same!
you got me scared at 8:06 when you were cutting towards yourself haha
Totally agree I should have been using a vise.
Your voice is the cure to insomnia
I'm gonna assume that's a compliment so thank you, Doctor!
@@LogsCarvingClub yes it is... from those of us who suffer from it... [tinnitus is my excuse... lol] I hope I didn't miss your...birthday, but here I am... plz make some really long videos... for ''medicinal purposes'' only lol [and btw, nothing in your video was ''boring''... too much info and too fast... is just frequencies... the tone of your voice is soothing... has even ''healing properties''... perfect to relax us to ''edgy'' for our own good...]
It is until,you real toe thumbs; then you can’t sleep again.
🤣🤣
@@LogsCarvingClub there's a certain kind of insomniac that really likes videos like these. You're well spoken, the subject matter rides a line between interesting and dry, and you don't use a bunch of vocal intonation or distracting memes. There's like 6 channels I'm subscribed to just because I need something to listen to while going to sleep, and white noise never really worked for me.
Nice Lock Picking Lawyer name drop.
Excellent explanatory video!
Thank you, Tim! I'm happy you appreciated that.
Was looking for this comment 👍
I don't even own a dremel and just watched this. Pretty damn good video
Huge compliment haha. Thank you!
No crappy music. Just the facts. Nicely done. New subscriber.
Thanks so much! I'm happy you like the style.
Thank you for this video. The 20 minutes of video time most likely took several hours of work. Your efforts are appreciated.
I'll admit this took me way longer than it should have. Thank you!
Clear, informative, succinct, thorough, no overwhelming background music, and a smattering of humor and personality - excellent video! You are appreciated.
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoy the style.
Agreed. Someone actually wanting to inform in place of just make a video (music background, joke images flashing on the screen, etc etc).
@@LogsCarvingClub what about all the other attachments that dremel makes such as 90 degree head and flex shaft and so on.
@@woodwizard259 Working on those currently - after work I’m usually too lazy to edit.
Growing up watching kipkay, hacksmith and loads of other crafting youtubers i always thought i would use a dremel almost everyday. I havent used mine in about two years but after this video i think im going to get some new bits and use it more often
That's great to hear! I haven't heard of those channels so I'll have to check them out.
Try using it first and then buy bits based on the needs that arise. Buying tools in hopes that the tools will motivate you to start a project is a trap.
One of the best and simplest guides on YT on this subject, which is so important to know exactly what is possible with this type of tool.
No embellishments, just the information. I congratulate you on this and hope that you continue to do good work.

Thank you Macedo! I appreciate your support.
Amazing really struggle to find dreamel bit explanations on youtube and very few kits come with a guide thumbs up
Thank you for your support! I'm happy this was helpful.
Oh wow, there's many projects I've done "the hard way" without power tools just because I didn't know my dremel had so many options if I just buy the right bits!
The UA-cam algorithm does strange things to recommend me a video like this, but I still thought it was really cool
I’m glad you clicked on it!
such a great in-depth overview of all the bits, i learned a lot. i also appreciate the humor! well done!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!
Feel fortunate I was able to see the original lineup of AIC when they opened for Van Halen on tour.
I don't remember mentioning AIC in this video haha.
@@LogsCarvingClub LOL! Nope you sure didn’t. That comment was supposed to be on a completely different UA-cam video. So weird that it showed up on this one.
wasn't expecting to learn so much about dremel bits today but i guess here we are, my paper be damned
I have never heard that saying but I think I strongly relate.
I bought it for my gourd crafts, woodworking and anything else I can find. It comes in handy for many different types of crafts!
Great! I also use it for all sorts of hobbies.
This is a top 3 videos of the year entry for me- learning a ton, thank you!
Thank you!
Huh. A very educational video, i normally blow off videos like this that pop up because you tubes Algorithm is torturing me, but i never fast forwarded and learned something, thank you. I bough a box of this stuff at a garage sale and have only used the sand drum, i think i have that router attachment too, cool.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate your support.
People making fun of your fingers are just jealous that if you ever play piano or guitar, you will shred like a pro with your reach.
I did not realize I needed this video until I watched the whole thing. Thanks for this information I’m inspired to get out my dremel and play.
Thank you for your kind words. I've actually tried to learn each, they just didn't click for me. I'd rather have a hobby that makes a massive mess haha.
Started this video thinking that when you said Dremel that you meant any rotary tool not the actual brand. The brand specific stuff I doubt I'll ever get but all the standard bits are why I started watching the video.
Thank you for watching anyways! I'm hoping this video is still helpful for other similar rotary tools.
Those abrasive buffs are amazing for smoothing out casted resin
Interesting! How do you polish it after?
@@LogsCarvingClub I use a vibration tumbler full of 3mm ceramic beads and scratch/swirl remover. If I leave it running for a few days I can get a pretty consistent shine. Before I would hand polish using zona papers down to 30 micron which gives me a pretty good shine but it’s hell on my fingers
Vielen Dank für den Überblick über so viele Dremel Werkzeuge.
Für mich war die Abfolge der Bits etwas zu schnell. Aber es ist trotzdem mit Abstand das beste Video zu diesem Thema das ich kenne.
Vielen Dank dafür.
Thank you! Sorry about the speed, I didn’t want the video to be too long. I’ll work on it! All the best.
@@LogsCarvingClub
Für mich persönlich wäre ein längeres Video besser.
Die Länge würde mich angesichts der Vielzahl der enthaltenen Informationen nicht stören.
- Aber Menschen sind ja unterschiedlich .
@@urmelausdemeis3495 Thank you for letting me know - future videos should be less rushed. Have a nice weekend!
@@urmelausdemeis3495, use the "settings" icon (a gear) to access the playback speed adjustment. You can play the video at 50% (half) or 75% ( 3/4ths) of the original speed.
Appreciate the info as well as your witty commentary!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
Thanks for the info about 3rd party burs and sanding circle repair.
No problem!
Good stuff and a no nonsense presentation.
Guitar builder here, thank you for pointing out some of these cause I would've never known as someone that mostly uses a combo of CNC and hand tools.
Also, Filipino food is the best.
Guitar building sounds so tough. Thank you for watching!
very informative. owned a dremel for over 10 years and only used it when there was no other option. this opened my mind to the possibilities.
That's great to hear! It really can do a lot of different jobs, and sometimes pretty well. Thank you for watching.
Yo no lie your like a person that really watched a bunch of UA-cam videos and said you guys suck watch this
This has been the best UA-cam video overall like I enjoyed and laughed and learned thanks guy
I don't want any rivalries, but I'm happy you liked my video style! Thank you for your support.
@@LogsCarvingClub I like where your coming from you right now rivalries thank you 🙏🏽 for the great video tho
Really Helpful... thanks!
Watched this vid once and thought... "What a great reference tool"... I haven't started yet, but I want to give a go at carvng small cobble stones... Thanks!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad this was helpful.
This video is FANTASTIC! Finally I know what these are each designed for instead of just guessing. 😬 Thanks for making this! 👍🏼
That's fantastic to hear! Sometimes it is difficult to find information about them, especially if you don't know what they're called. Thanks for watching!
Good to have another video back from your channel! And this is a video I'm sure I'll keep coming back to when I get more bits
Great to hear! Thank you for being a regular here!
Great video! Thanks for it!
Your tone of voice is perfect for this type of video. And your sense of humor and editing style are also perfectly suited to this content. I'm not a carver, but I do appreciate the algorithm serving this up! Wish you all the best.
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for your support!
Thank you for this!
Thank you! Useful information!
I love the tempo of the video and especially the witty jokes. Subbed for more :D
I tried to use a nylon polishing wheel only once, I melted it almost instantly...
Super informative and to the point, thanks a lot!
That's interesting, I haven't had that happen to me. How were you using it?
thanks this was super helpful! subbed. happy birthday!
This was so incredibly helpful. Really generous of you to take the time to make something that could be seen as "reference" and not "content". Super, super useful for me. I really appreciate it.
I try to have a mix of both, some for referencing and some for inspiration. Thank you for watching!
This is an amazing video :)
Thanks. A lot of good info. Cheers.
thank you, I've been waiting for a video like this for a LONG time....
Thanks for an excellent video chief!
Nice video. Subbed for later info since I like the tools.
You’re a great teacher thank you
You said "every" and by God you meant it. Thanks.
This video is phenomenal
10:17 why dude why!
Video was going great really great info and and now all I can think is, fuck yeah those thumbs really do look like toes?! 😂 😂
Ah man.
I just got into woodworking.
I've got one of these tiny drills / carving tools, a bunch of different bits for it and a lot of other tools as well that I just received from my father, since he likes working with metal more than wood. I've been trying to figure out some simple and easy projects to get started with and your channel has provided me with a lot of ideas and concepts for possible projects I might do.
Thank you! Keep the awesome videos
coming! +1 subscriber!
Thank you! It's a nice hobby to have.
Love this stuff. I gotta make some timestamps for all the bits that are good for wood carving.
Thank you! I also have a video on carving bits from a while ago.
@@LogsCarvingClub I saw that just recently. its very helpful.
I was just looking up videos to learn and i saw a different video from you and now you just uploaded 18 mins ago!!! Thats amazing lol ty
Funny! I hope it was helpful - thanks for commenting!
Awesome!
Thanks for the demos.
No problem! Thanks for commenting.
You can prolong the life of a sanding drum 4 times if you use "abrasive cleaning stick". Those remove tar and oils from sandpaper which are the usual reason for clogging. Normally they are for grinder belts, but work on dremel bits as well, just use the lowest speed.
Great tip! Thank you for sharing that. I'll admit I usually just buy new papers, but I should give it a try.
@@LogsCarvingClub Buy a nice-looking brick, because your grandchildren will still use it :)
Thank you…. For existing.
“Who’s buying this for Gourds? I dunno, you do you” 😂😂😂
I somehow forgot that I have, in fact, used it for gourds.
so many people can benefit from this video. fantastic.
Thank you for watching!
Neat, I always wondered what some of those "mystery bits" were. And here I am with a Dremel that's old enough that it was made in Racine Wisconsin. (Dunno if the new ones off-shored, but I figured if they may have.)
I'm glad this video was helpful! I think they're made in Mexico now.
Watching a video like this after having a Dremel at home for the past ... 20 years ... because I need to cut some plastic.
The plastic in question is the model plastic that is used for model airplanes, tanks, ships, Warhammer etc.
I used to help a friend paint his Warhammer miniatures, tough to be so precise! I hope this video was helpful.
Happy birthday, for whenever it is/was. Your birthday present was my subscribing on the first video of yours that I watched. Best wishes!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
you put way more effort on that video than we deserve plus you made me laugh honestly more than one time. subscribed

Man, this is so helpful! I have been using the sanding drums all wrong. I think it is time to upgrade to an actual Dremel instead of my generic rotary tools.
Great stuff. Subscribed. Thanks!
Thank you for subscribing!
Extremely helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you Jim!
Good Video! Learned a ton :)
This video showed up in my feed and got my attention. Very helpful guide, thorough but to the point. I watched a couple of your other videos and subscribed. I would love to see you demonstrate some of the metal bits the way you have with the wood bits. Your wonderful woodworking videos do a great job of showing how and when to use them.
I definitely work with wood more than with metal, because I enjoy wood carving in my spare time, but I'll try and get some more metal-focused videos out. Thank you for your support!
The Dremel EZ drum and disc thingy was life changing.
Also the dremel extension attachment was something I wish I would have bought ages agoooo. And I don’t even do carvings or anything like 😂😂😂
Yeah, I held off from the flex shaft for way too long, now I use it all the time.
Very informative!
Thanks so much!
Awesome video!
Thanks for going through this.
I bought one of the Dremel bit kits with a million bits.
Most are common sense but then some are not.
You should look into carving out a tobacco pipe. Briar wood is used. They sell for a LOT.
I'm sure you could make something INCREDIBLY fancy as well. They really are a useable work of art.
Thank you for the suggestion! I made a pipe a long time ago when I was just starting out. I'd love to try it again.
Great video, great sense of humor!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
I've been to their site and this is ssoooooooooo much better! I'm coming back to this again!
That's great! Thank you for your support. I'm happy this was helpful for you.
there is one bit/ attachment you didn't cover that I know of, I think it was only available for a couple of months before they discontinued it but I was lucky enough to get the Planer bit/ attachment :) a Very wicked attachment if I do say so my self and the shavings that come off it often plug the attachment housing. Like I said Very wicked and my heart raced every time I used it :)
I'll admit I haven't tried it, it looks pretty scary! But now I also want to see what it's like...
@@LogsCarvingClub I've only seen one video in it on you tube, it's the video labeled PL400, there's another video labeled Dremel Door Planer that looks a little safer but that's not the one I have. I just feel Really lucky to have purchased one in time at this point :)
Awesome mate.
Thank you!
Loved this whole video, came to comment, I hope you get 30,000. I'm +1
Keep this shit up. You're making amazing content
Thank you for your support!
Great video!
Thank you!
Brilliant video...which shows i have not been making full use of my dremel....great stuff.
I need to go shopping now...
On the Dremel buffing compound: Buffing compounds don't really come in 'Grits'. The Amazon ones do, but I'm pretty sure they just do that for sales. Grit is the specific amount of grits over size and with buffing compounds they're all basically the same grit size: a fine powder in a suspension. What differs is what they can eat, basically. Think of it like gemstones and hardness. Dremel's compound comes in somewhere right near Tripoli. Good for wood and soft metals like Brass, copper and aluminum. Way slow on steel, too harsh for gold and silver.
That's actually really helpful, I haven't heard it explained like that before.
you definitely don't waste your time [or ours] mate!... too much info, too fast, without losing your sense of humor... nice!
Definitely struggled to fit this into a reasonable amount of time, may have rushed it!
@@LogsCarvingClub Nah it wasn't too fast, I just had to make sure I wasn't distracted by anything else when watching, and skip back a couple of times :)
Excellent video. I needed this.
