routing

[peteg]

Hi out there can anyone help.
I have just had donated to me a dremel routing attachment. Can anyone advise which routing bits give what shapes as I do not want to purchase loads of them just to find out. I want to get them as I need them.
Cheers pete

heeelllooo peteg and welcome

not realy shure the router attachments for a dremel will be much good for other than superficial light use [engraving wood for example]

the "normal "understanding of routing is several weeks hamster bedding in a few minuits

where as a dremil will take perhaps a day or two

Like that a lot.

didnt understand a word of that.
The dremel is a small hand held mini drill mainly used in model making.

Suggest you try various cutters on a scrap piece of wood, then you can see what they do. Another way is to hold the various cutters up to the edge of your piece of wood and you can see what they will take off.

I think that with his reference to hamster bedding big_all was pointing out that a dremel is only very small and light-duty compared to a router and you will only be able to do fine work with it.
