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
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
