Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a
hazard to the operator.
If operating the power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to
supply the power to your tool. GFCI and
personal protection devices like electrician’s
rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool”
in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Battery tool use and care
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly
mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.

Safety Rules for Cordless Rotary Tools
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label. Wheels and other accessories running
over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury.
If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas
where electrical wiring may exist is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place
the switch in the locked or off position
before making any assembly, adjustments
or changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
Be aware of the switch location, when
placing the tool down or when picking the
tool up. You may accidentally activate the
switch.
Always hold the hand piece firmly in your
hands during the start-up. The reaction
torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full
speed, can cause the shaft to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in
safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment device can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit.
The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand
may not always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for
at least one minute before using wheel.
During this time no one is to stand in front
or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or
wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
Wire and bristle brushes must never be
operated at speeds greater than
15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the
spinning wire brush away from you. Small
particles and tiny wire fragments may be
discharged at high velocity during the
“cleaning” action with these brushes and may
become imbedded in your skin. Bristles or
wires will be discharged from the brush at high
speeds.
Wear protective gloves and face shield with
wire or bristle brushes. Apply wire or
bristle brushes lightly to the work as only
the tips of the wire/bristles do the work.
“Heavy” pressure on bristles will cause the wire
or bristle to become overstressed, resulting in
a wiping action and will cause the bristles/wire
to be discharged.
Carefully handle both the tool and
individual grinding wheels to avoid
chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if
tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a
wheel that may be damaged. Fragments
from a wheel that bursts during operation will
fly away at great velocity possibly striking you
or bystanders.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits
can snap during use. Dull bits require more
force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit
to break.
Use clamps to support workpiece
whenever practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in the
other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient
space, at least 6", between your hand and
the spinning bit. Round material such as
dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to
roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to
“bite” or jump toward you. Clamping a small
workpiece allows you to use both hands to
control the tool.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting.
When cutting irregularly shaped
workpieces, plan your work so it will not
slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your
hand. For example, if carving wood, make
sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
workpiece. Nails or foreign objects can cause
the bit to jump.
BM 2610951850 08-07 8/15/07 3:50 PM Page 4
-5-
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged
in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the
cutter.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,
especially when working corners, sharp
edges etc. This can cause loss of control and
kick-back.
The direction of feed with the bit into the
material when carving, routing or cutting is
very important. Always feed the bit into the
material in the same direction as the
cutting edge is exiting from the material
(which is the same direction as the chips
are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong
direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit to
climb out of the work and pull the tool in the
direction of this feed.
If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or
bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” by the
switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop
and unplug the tool, then work to free the
jammed material. If the switch to the tool is
left “ON” the tool could restart unexpectedly
causing serious personal injury.
Do not leave a running tool unattended,
turn power off. Only when tool comes to a
complete stop it is safe to put it down.
Do not grind or sand near flammable
materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite
these materials.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After
use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched
by bare hands.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents by
compressed air. Excessive accumulation of
powdered metal inside the motor housing may
cause electrical failures.
Do not allow familiarity gained from
frequent use of your rotary tool to become
commonplace. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in
serious personal injury.
This product is not intended for use as a
dental drill, in human or veterinary medical
applications. Serious personal injury may
result.
When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels,
high speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely
clamped. Never attempt to hold the work
with one hand while using any of these
accessories. The reason is that these wheels
will grab if they become slightly canted in the
groove, and can kickback causing loss of
control resulting in serious injury. Your second
hand should be used to steady and guide the
hand holding the tool. When a cutoff wheel
grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When
the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten
carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the
groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints,
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.

Do not engage lock while
the Rotary Tool is running.
COLLETS — Four different size collets (see
illustration), to accommodate different shank
sizes, are available for your Cordless Rotary
Tool. To install a different collet, remove the
collet nut and remove the old collet. Insert the
unslotted end of the collet in the hole in the
end of the tool shaft. Replace collet nut on the
shaft. Always use the collet which matches
the shank size of the accessory you plan to
use. Never force a larger diameter shank into
a collet.
To change accessories, turn tool off, slide
shaft lock button toward nose of tool, and turn
collet nut counter-clockwise (approximately
three turns). Change accessories by inserting
the new one into the collet as far as possible to
minimize runout and unbalance. With the shaft
lock engaged, finger tighten the collet nut until
the accessory shank is gripped by the collet.
Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut.
BALANCING ACCESSORIES — For
precision work, it is important that all
accessories be in good balance (much the
same as the tires on your automobile). To true
up or balance an accessory, slightly loosen
collet nut and give the accessory or collet a 1/4
turn. Retighten collet nut and run the Tool. You
should be able to tell by the sound and feel if
your accessory is running in balance. Continue
adjusting in this fashion until best balance is
achieved. To maintain balance on abrasive
wheel points, before each use, with the wheel
point secured in the collet, turn on the Stylus
and run the 415 Dressing Stone lightly against
the revolving wheel point. This removes high
spots and trues up the wheel point for good
balance.

Operating Instructions
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Dremel Stylus.
This tool was designed to give you the ultimate
p
re
cision and control when working on your
projects. The ergonomic housing is designed
for you to hold and control this tool like a
pencil, between your thumb and forefinger.
When held in this position (see page 11) you
can hardly feel the lightweight and compact
tool in your hand! It is intended to simply be an
extension of your hand.
The Dremel Stylus is designed for intricate,
detailed, precise use, where control is needed.
It comes with an assortment of
Premium
accessories
that are specifically designed for
fine, detailed work where you need
precision and control. It is intended to be used
on applications such as finish sanding,
engraving, carving, etching, polishing, and
cleaning, to name a few. The Dremel Stylus is
small, light, and compact to give you the
ultimate precision and control when working on
your projects.
Your Dremel Stylus has a small, powerful elec-
tric motor, is comfortable in the hand, and is
made to accept a large variety of accessories
including abrasive wheels, drill bits, wire
brushes, polishers, and engraving
cutters. Accessories come in a variety of
shapes and permit you to do a number of
different jobs. As you become familiar with the
range of accessories and their uses, you will
learn just how versatile your Dremel Stylus is.
You’ll see dozens of uses you hadn’t thought
of before now.
The real secret of the Dremel Stylus is its
speed. To understand the advantages of its
high speed, you have to know that the
standard portable electric drill runs at speeds
up to 2,800 revolutions per minute. The typical
electric drill is a low-speed, high torque tool;
the Dremel Stylus is just the opposite — a
high-speed, low torque tool. The chief
difference to the user is that in the high speed
tools, the speed combined with the accessory
mounted in the collet does the work. You don’t
apply pressure to the tool, but simply hold and
guide it. In the low speed tools, you not only
guide the tool, but also apply pressure to it, as
you do, for example, when drilling a hole.
It is this high speed, along with its compact
size and wide variety of special accessories
that makes your Dremel Stylus different from
other power tools. The speed enables it to do
jobs low speed tools cannot do, such as
cutting hardened steel, engraving glass, etc.
Getting the most out of your Dremel Stylus is a
matter of learning how to let this speed work
for you.
Visit www.dremel.com to lear more about what
you can do with your Dremel Stylus.
Read the next sections carefully. They will help
you use your Dremel Stylus correctly and help
you select the correct accessory for your job.
STALL PROTECTION
This tool has a stall protection feature built into
it to protect the motor and battery in the event
of a stall. If you stall the tool for too long, or
bind the bit in a work piece, especially at high
speeds, it will automatically turn itself off.
Simply take the tool out of the material you
were stalled in, turn it off for 3 seconds, then
turn it back on again to continue using it.
When the battery becomes close to empty, the
tool may shut down automatically more
frequent than normal. If this happens, it is time
to recharge the battery.
DELAY START SWITCH
Your Stylus tool is equipped with a momentary
delayed on/off switch to protect from accidental
starting of your tool. To turn your tool on, you
must hold the button down for approximately
one half of one second. If your tool is not
turning on immediately, try holding the button
down longer to turn the tool on.
CHARGING THE TOOL
Your Dremel Stylus does not come completely
charged from the factory. Be sure to charge
tool prior to initial use.

4. Charger will require approximately 3 hours
to charge a completely discharged battery.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
This tool was designed with a lithium ion
battery and docking station for the following
benefits:
1. Lithium-ion battery will hold its charge while
in storage for up to 2 years so it’s always ready
when you need it.
2. You can place the tool on the charger and
recharge it at any time without reducing the
original factory charge capacity.
3. Docking station was designed to use as a
place to store your tool while you are working
on your projects. Simply place the tool in the
charger when you’re not using it on your
project, and it will continually recharge the
battery so it will run longer for you.
4. Docking station is also designed to be your
permanent storage device for your Stylus tool.
Keep it on your workbench or countertop,
charged and ready for when you need it for
your next project.

light switch which turns power “off” when lights
are turned off.
c. Check charger terminals for dirt. Clean
with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
send tool and charger to your Dremel Service
Center.
e. Check to see if tool is properly placed in
charger (see page 9)
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Dremel may void the warranty.
USING THE STYLUS
Your Dremel Stylus comes with an assortment
of
Premium Dremel accessories
that are
designed for fine, detailed work where you
need precision control. It is intended to be
used on applications such as finish sanding,
engraving, carving, etching, polishing, and
cleaning, to name a few. Your Dremel Stylus
is small, light, and compact to give you the
ultimate precision and control when working on
your projects.
The first step in learning to use the Dremel
Stylus is to get the “feel” of it. Hold it in your
hand and feel its weight and balance. Feel the
taper of the housing. This taper permits the
tool to be grasped much like a pen or pencil.
(See page 11 for recommended way to hold
the stylus.
When you use an accessory for the first time,
hold it away from your face. Accessories can
be damaged during handling, and can fly apart
as they come up to speed. This is not
common, but it does happen.
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the
Dremel Stylus cuts. Keep in mind that the work
is done by the speed of the tool and by the
accessory in the collet. You should not lean on
or push the tool into the work.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to
the work and allow it to touch the point at
which you want cutting (or sanding or etching,
etc.) to begin. Concentrate on guiding the tool
over the work using very little pressure from
your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.

Usually, it is best to make a series of passes
with the tool rather than attempting to do all the
work in one pass. To make a cut, for example,
pass the tool back and forth over the work,
much as you would a small paint brush. Cut a
little material on each pass until you reach the
desired depth. For most work, the deft, gentle
touch is best. With it, you have the best
control, are less likely to make errors, and will
get the most efficient work out of the
accessory.
#1 Pencil grip – For best control of the
Stylus, hold the tool like a pencil between
your thumb and forefinger.
#2 Side grip – Rotate the tool sideways,
with the handle pointing out while resting
your hand on the table.
#3 reverse grip – An alternative grip is the
reverse grip for close up applications.
#4 Stable grip – For ultimate stability, rest
the handle of the tool on the table to help
stabilize and control the accessory.
Adjust the speed dial to achieve the best
job results when working with different
materials.
To select the right speed for each job, use
a practice piece of material. Vary speed to
find the best speed for the accessory you
are using and the job to be done.
Your Stylus is equipped with a variable
speed dial from 5,000 – 25,000 rpm. To turn
it on, press and hold the on/off switch until
tool turns on. Note, there is a delayed start
to prevent accidentally starting this tool. It is
important that you press the button until the
tool turns on (approximately half a second.)

Adjust the speed of the tool by turning the
speed control dial located at the rear of the
tool. To turn the tool off, press the on/off
button.
You can refer to the charts on page 15, 16,
and 17 to determine the proper speed, based
on the material and accessory being used.
These charts enable you to select both the
correct accessory and the optimum speed at
a glance.

NEEDS FOR SLOWER SPEEDS
Certain materials, however, (some plastics, for
example) require a relatively slow speed
because at high speed the friction of the tool
generates heat and causes the plastic to melt.
Most work is done at high speed. Lower
speeds are needed only for certain tasks.
The speed of the tool is controlled by
rotating the speed dial at the back of the
tool.

8 18,000 – 22,000 RPM
10 22,000 – 25,000 RPM
*4 is the maximum speed setting for wire
brushes.
Ultimately, the best way to determine the
correct speed for work on any material is to
practice for a few minutes on a piece of scrap,
even after referring to the chart. You can
quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is
more effective just by observing what happens
as you make a pass or two at different speeds.
When working with plastic, for example, start
at a slow rate of speed and increase the speed
until you observe that the plastic is melting at
the point of contact. Then reduce the speed
slightly to get the optimum working speed.
Some rules of thumb in regard to speed:
1. Plastic and materials that melt at low
temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
2. Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wire
brush must be done at speeds below
15,000 RPM to prevent damage to the
brush.
3. Wood should be cut at high speed.
4. Iron or steel should be cut at top speed if
using tungsten carbide accessory, but at
slower speeds if using high speed steel
cutters. If a high speed steel cutter starts to
chatter — this normally means it is running
too slow.
5. Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc
alloys and tin may be cut at various speeds,
depending on the type of cutting being
done. Use paraffin or other suitable
lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut
material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
Increasing the pressure on the tool is not the
answer when it is not cutting as you think it
should. Perhaps you should be using a
different cutter, and perhaps an adjustment in
speed would solve the problem. But leaning on
the tool seldom helps.
Your Dremel Stylus can be used with all of the
Dremel accessories, except router bits. While
the tool will work with cut-off wheels, the
reduced speed of this tool will not allow them
to perform optimally. They can be used to cut
soft materials such as wood or plastic, but
cutting metals is not recommended. The
Stylus tool cannot be used with any of the
Dremel line of attachments (attachments screw
on to the nose of a rotary tool.)

Extension Cords
If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-
wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs
and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

The number and variety of accessories for the
Rotary Tool are almost limitless. There is a
category suited to almost any job you might
have to do — and a variety of sizes and shapes
within each category which enables you to get
the perfect accessory for every need.
Refer to the DREMEL ACCESSORY ORDER
FORM for illustrations of the accessories
available. These accessories may be found
at your local hardware, hobby or home
center dealers.
Collets
If you expect to use a variety of accessories,
we recommend that in the beginning you
purchase a complete set of four collets. Store
these so that you will have the proper size of
collet for any accessory or drill bit you want to
use. Currently, the 1/8", 3/32",1/32" and
1/16" collets accommodate all of the avail-
able Dremel accessories. 1/8" collets are
included in most rotary tool kits.
Mandrels
A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw
head, which are required when you use
polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding
discs, and polishing points. The reason
mandrels are used is that sanding discs,
cutting wheels and similar accessories must be
replaced frequently. The mandrel is a per-
manent shank, allowing you to replace only the
worn head when necessary, thus saving the
expense of replacing the shaft each time.
Screw Mandrel N° 401
This is a screw mandrel used with the felt
polishing tip and felt polishing wheels. 1/8"
shank.
Small Screw Mandrel N° 402
This is a mandrel with a small screw at its tip,
and is used with emery and fiberglass cutting
wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels.
1/8" shank.
Dremel Accessories
Use only Dremel™, high-performance accessories. Other accessories are
not designed for this tool and may lead to personal injury or property damage.

WARNING
High Speed Cutters
Available in many shapes, high speed cutters
are used in carving, cutting and slotting in
wood, plastics and soft metals such as
aluminum, copper and brass. These are the
accessories to use for freehand routing or
carving in wood or plastic, and for precision
cutting. Made of high quality steel. 1/8" shank.
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
These are tough, long-lived cutters for use on
hardened steel, fired ceramics and other very
hard materials. They can be used for
engraving on tools and garden equipment. 1/8"
shanks.
Engraving Cutters
This group has a wide variety of sizes and
shapes, and are made for intricate work on
ceramics (greenware), wood carvings, jewelry
and scrimshaw. They often are used in making
complicated printed circuit boards. They
should not be used on steel and other very
hard materials but are excellent on wood,
plastic and soft metals. 3/32" shank.
Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutters
Fast cutting, needle-sharp teeth for greater
material removal with minimum loading. Use
on fiberglass, wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber.
1/8" shank.

Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones
(red/brown)
Round, pointed, flat — you name the shape
and there is one available in this category.
These are made of aluminum oxide and cover
virtually every possible kind of grinding
application. Use them for sharpening lawn
mower blades, screwdriver tips, knives,
scissors, chisels and other cutting tools. Use to
remove flash from metal castings, deburring
any metal after cutting, smoothing welded
joints, grinding off rivets and removing rust.
These grinding stones can be resharped with a
dressing stone. In machine shops, high speed
drills and cutters normally are ground with
aluminum oxide wheels. 1/8" shank.
Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones
(blue/green)
Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these
are made especially for use on hard materials
such as glass and ceramics. Typical uses
might be the removal of stilt marks and excess
glaze on ceramics and engraving on glass.
1/8" shank.
Diamond Wheel Points
Excellent for fine detail work on wood, jade,
ceramic, glass and other hard material. Bits
are covered with diamond particles. 3/32"
shanks. (Not recommended for drilling)
Wire Brushes
Three different shapes of wire brushes are
available. For best results wire brushes
should be used at speeds not greater than
15,000 RPM.
Refer to Operating Speeds
section for proper tool speed setting. The
three shapes come in three different materials:
stainless steel, brass and carbon wire. The
stainless steel perform well on pewter,
aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals,
without leaving "after-rust". Brass brushes are
non sparking, and softer than steel; making
them good for use on soft metal like gold,
cooper and brass. The carbon wire brushes
are good for general purpose cleaning.
Bristle Brushes
These are excellent cleaning tools on
silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three
shapes make it possible to get into tight
corners and other difficult places. Bristle
brushes can be used with polishing compound
for faster cleaning or polishing.
Brushing Pressure
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the
work. Operate the brush with the lightest
pressure so only the tips of the wire come in
contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will
be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action;
and if this is continued, the life of the brush will
be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way
that as much of the brush face as possible is in
full contact with the work. Applying the side or
edge of the brush to the work will result in wire
breakage and shortened brush life.
Dremel Accessories (Cont.)
CORRECT:
Wire tips doing the work.
INCORRECT:
Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
