Dremel bits for home artists
The main categories of bits, according to Dremel, include the following:
- Carving & Engraving
- Sanding
- Cutting
- Grinding & Sharpening
- Cleaning & Polishing
These categories are pretty consistent among other manufacturers of rotary tool accessories, so you can often find alternatives if you shop around. Carving & Engraving I used two different types of bits that fall into the carving & engraving category – diamond bits and high speed cutters.
