Burs for cutting wood are made of a variety of materials and are available in many shapes. Carving, shaping and grinding is made with a range of burrs, for wood projects are tungsten bits are the best. Mini saw drills are made from HSS or high-tempered steel, both types have great heat resistance and life. Dremel drills are difficult to control on an in-the-round carving and cut wood up to ¾" thick (interesting post).
Closure Most common rotary tool bits you’ve found when you bought the tool. Diamond drill bits are mostly for drilling holes in hard materials – glass and stone. On wood sintered diamond bits are as durable as carbide; plated diamonds are less durable. Carbide or tungsten carbide dremel bits are more durable then HSS ones and carve wood easily. Aluminum-oxide stones are usually sold as red (80 to 150 grit) and white (400 grit), can be reshaped and sharpened easily to extend their life (best dremel bits for wood cutting). Ordinary sanding bands work similar to ordinary sandpaper, 3M ceramic bands last at least twice as long.
The coarsest and long-lasting bits feature aggressive carbide points bonded to a metal shaft. Most aggressive bits available, work good for rapid stock removal when roughing out both hard and soft wood Coarse bits work best at slower rpm and finer bits work best at higher rpm.
Abrasive stones come in various grit from coarse to fine. Stones are used to create lumps and bumps on bird carvings, with a limited ability to create feathers and hair Grey Aluminium Oxide/Corundum abrasive stones are a coarse grinding stone suitable for use for deburring and shaping. White stones are fine and used for smoothing, polishing and refining all engravings and carvings.
Etching bits come in great variations so you can find one for every need. With the right routing bit, your Dremel tool can become a great option for routing wood or drilling into soft materials. If you need to sand small surface, then sander disk is more convenient than a drum bit.
Cutting discs made of tungsten carbide are best suited for metals and wood, whereas the diamond discs are more effective on glass and stone. There are plenty of different kinds of cutting bits that you can use. Tools with more teeth have less gaps and work good for fine cutting If you need to cut fast and don’t need precise work, choose bigger gaps.
