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.
- 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
- 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
