Rotary tools, made e.g. by Dremel or Proxxon, are commonly used by Makers and many accessories and hacks are available.
At the CoMakingSpace, you can use a Dremel 4000 with many accessories.
Bits
Most rotary tool bits are designed for very high speeds and would not work well in a drill. The maximum speeds for each type of bit can be found in the manual, but it would be nice to build a more intuitive overview here as well.
- small twist drill bits
- abrasive cutting discs for metals (like a tiny disc grinder)
- also work great with stripboard
- not suitable for aluminum (too soft, clogs up the disc and can cause dangerous overheating)
- sanding drums (ideal for wood)
- wire brushes - never operate above 15000 rpm, these can shoot little wire pieces at you even at lower speeds!
- grinding stones
- polishing pads
- abrasive burrs
- ...and more
rotary tool with a box of rotary tool bits
There are some generic products on the market which may be of similar quality as the original manufacturers' bits but are much cheaper.
Other Useful Accessories
- flexible shaft
- pouch or case
- dental cleaner can be used for small batch mixing
- plastic filament can be used for friction welding [1]
- self-built router base
