below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power
supply. While the tool may appear to work, the elec-
trical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail
and create a hazard to the operator.
If operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) must be used to supply the power to your
tool. GFCI and personal protection devices like

Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the
power tool.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Battery tool use and care
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Use battery tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your
tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires
may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.

.
Be aware of the switch location, when placing the
tool down or when picking the tool up. You may acci-
dentally activate the switch.
Always hold the hand piece firmly in your hands
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor,
as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the shaft to
twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use
only in well ventilated area. Using personal safety
devices and working in safe environment reduces risk
of injury.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment
devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The
proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not
always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using wheel. During this time no
one is to stand in front or in line with the brush.
Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the
run-in time.
Page 3
DM 2610930085 11-05 11/30/05 2:56 PM Page 4
Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at
speeds greater than 15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you.
Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the “cleaning” action
with these brushes and may become imbedded in
your skin. Bristles or wires will be discharged from
the brush at high speeds.
Wear protective gloves and face shield with wire or
bristle brushes. Apply wire or bristle brushes lightly to the work as only the tips of the wire/bristles do
the work. “Heavy” pressure on bristles will cause the
wire or bristle to become overstressed, resulting in a
wiping action and will cause the bristles/wire to be
discharged.
Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheels to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a
new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not
use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from
a wheel that bursts during operation will fly away at
great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be
handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during
use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool,
possibly causing the bit to break.
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand while in use. Allow for
sufficient space, at least 6", between your hand and
the spinning bit. Round material such as dowel rods,
pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being
cut, and may cause the bit to “bite” or jump toward
you. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use
both hands to control the tool.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting
irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it
will not slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your
hand. For example, if carving wood, make sure there
are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails
or foreign objects can cause the bit to jump.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the
material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material
causing loss of control of the cutter.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kick-back.
The direction of feed with the bit into the material
when carving, routing or cutting is very important.
Always feed the bit into the material in the same
direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material (which is the same direction as the chips
are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction,
causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the
work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged
down, turn the tool “OFF” by the switch. Wait for
all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then
work to free the jammed material. If the switch to
the tool is left “ON” the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.
Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power
off. Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is
safe to put it down.
Do not grind or sand near flammable materials.
Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the
bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents by compressed
air. Excessive accumulation of powdered metal inside
the motor housing may cause electrical failures.
Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of
your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always
remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal
injury.
This product is not intended for use as a dental drill,
in human or veterinary medical applications.
Serious personal injury may result.
When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels, high
speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always
have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to
hold the work with one hand while using any of
these accessories. The reason is that these wheels
will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove,
and can kickback causing loss of control resulting in
serious injury. Your second hand should be used to
steady and guide the hand holding the tool. When a
cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks.
When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten
carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and
you could lose control of the tool.

Operation Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the Dremel Stylus. This tool
was designed to give you the ultimate precision and
control when working on your projects. The ergonomic
housing is designed for you to hold and control this tool
Introduction
like a pencil, between your thumb and forefinger. When
held in this position (see page 11) you can hardly feel
the lightweight and compact tool in your hand! It is
intended to simply be an extension of your hand.
Page 8
DM 2610930085 11-05 11/30/05 2:56 PM Page 9
The Dremel Stylus is designed for intricate, detailed,
precise use, where control is needed. It comes with an
assortment of Premium accessories that are specifically
designed for fine, detailed work where you need
precision and control. It is intended to be used on
applications such as finish sanding, engraving, carving,
etching, polishing, and cleaning, to name a few. The
Dremel Stylus is small, light, and compact to give you
he ultimate precision and control when working on
t
our projects.
y
Your Dremel Stylus has a small, powerful electric
motor, is comfortable in the hand, and is made to accept
a large variety of accessories including abrasive wheels,
drill bits, wire brushes, polishers, and engraving
cutters. Accessories come in a variety of shapes and
permit you to do a number of different jobs. As you
become familiar with the range of accessories and their
uses, you will learn just how versatile your Dremel
Stylus is. You’ll see dozens of uses you hadn’t thought
of before now.
The real secret of the Dremel Stylus is its speed. To
understand the advantages of its high speed, you have
to know that the standard portable electric drill runs at
speeds up to 2,800 revolutions per minute. The typical
electric drill is a low-speed, high torque tool; the Dremel
Stylus is just the opposite — a high-speed, low torque
tool. The chief difference to the user is that in the high
speed tools, the speed combined with the accessory
mounted in the collet does the work. You don’t apply
pressure to the tool, but simply hold and guide it. In the
ow speed tools, you not only guide the tool, but also
l
pply pressure to it, as you do, for example, when drilling
a
a hole.
It is this high speed, along with its compact size and
wide variety of special accessories that makes your
Dremel Stylus different from other power tools. The
speed enables it to do jobs low speed tools cannot do,
such as cutting hardened steel, engraving glass, etc.
Getting the most out of your Dremel Stylus is a matter
of learning how to let this speed work for you.
Visit www.dremel.com to lear more about what you can
do with your Dremel Stylus.
Read the next sections carefully. They will help you use
your Dremel Stylus correctly and help you select the
correct accessory for your job.
Stall Protection
This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to
protect the motor and battery in the event of a stall. If
you stall the tool for too long, or bind the bit in a work
piece, especially at high speeds, it will automatically
turn itself off. Simply take the tool out of the material you were stalled in, turn it off for 3 seconds, then
turn it back on again to continue using it. When the
battery becomes close to empty, the tool may shut
down automatically more frequent than normal. If
this happens, it is time to recharge the battery.
Delay Start Switch
our Stylus tool is equipped with a momentary
Y
delayed on/off switch to protect from accidental start
ing of your tool. To turn your tool on, you must hold
the button down for approximately one half of one
second. If your tool is not turning on immediately, try
holding the button down longer to turn the tool on.
Charging the Tool
Your Dremel Stylus does not come completely charged
from the factory. Be sure to charge tool prior to initial
use.
To charge the tool:
1. Turn tool off.
2. Place tool in docking station as shown in figure 1.
3. Plug charger into power source.
• Green light ON=charging.
• Solid green OFF=charging completed.
Charger will automatically stop charging the battery
when charging is completed. It is ok to leave tool on
charger continually.

Important Charging Notes
docking station for the following benefits:
1. Lithium-ion battery will hold its charge while in
storage for up to 2 years so it’s always ready when
you need it.
2. You can place the tool on the charger and recharge
it at any time without reducing the original factory
charge capacity.
3. Docking station was designed to use as a place to
store your tool while you are working on your projects. Simply place the tool in the charger when
you’re not using it on your project, and it will continually recharge the battery so it will run longer for you.
4. Docking station is also designed to be your permanent storage device for your Stylus tool. Keep it on
your workbench or countertop, charged and ready for
when you need it for your next project.
5. The charger was designed to fast charge the
battery only when the battery temperature is between
40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F (41˚C).
6. A substantial drop in operating time per charge
may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of
its life and should be replaced. To replace an old
battery, contact Dremel customer service at 1-800-4DREMEL. The Dremel Service Center can install a new
battery and ship it back to you within 48 hours of
receiving your tool.
7. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light
switch which turns power “off” when lights are turned
off.
c. Check charger terminals for dirt. Clean with
cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging, send
tool and charger to your Dremel Service Center.
e. Check to see if tool is properly placed in charger

The first step in learning to use the Dremel Stylus is to
get the “feel” of it. Hold it in your hand and feel its
weight and balance. Feel the taper of the housing. This
taper permits the tool to be grasped much like a pen or
pencil. (See page 11 for recommended way to hold the
stylus.

Practice on scrap materials first to see how the Dremel
Stylus cuts. Keep in mind that the work is done by the
speed of the tool and by the accessory in the collet. You
should not lean on or push the tool into the work.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to the
work and allow it to touch the point at which you want
cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to begin. Concentrate on guiding the tool over the work using very little pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do
the work.
Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the
tool rather than attempting to do all the work in one
o make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and
pass. T
forth over the work, much as you would a small paint
brush. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach
the desired depth. For most work, the deft, gentle touch
is best. With it, you have the best control, are less like

Operating Speeds For Accessories
Adjust the speed dial to achieve the best job results
when working with different materials.
To select the right speed for each job, use a practice
piece of material. Vary speed to find the best speed
for the accessory you are using and the job to be
done.
Your Stylus is equipped with a variable speed dial
from 5,000 – 25,000 rpm. To turn it on, press and
hold the on/off switch until tool turns on. Note, there
is a delayed start to prevent accidentally starting this
tool. It is important that you press the button until the
tool turns on (approximately half a second.) Adjust
the speed of the tool by turning the speed control dial
located at the rear of the tool. T
press the on/off button.
You can refer to the charts on page 13, 14, and 15 to
determine the proper speed, based on the material
and accessory being used. These charts enable you to
select both the correct accessor
speed at a glance.

Certain materials, however, (some plastics, for ex-
Needs for Slower Speeds
ample) require a relatively slow speed because at high
speed the friction of the tool generates heat and causes the plastic to melt.
Most work is done at high speed. Lower speeds are
needed only for certain tasks.
The speed of the tool is controlled by rotating the
speed dial at the back of the tool.

*4 is the maximum speed setting for wire brushes.
Ultimately, the best way to determine the correct speed
for work on any material is to practice for a few minutes on a piece of scrap, even after referring to the
chart. You can quickly learn that a slower or faster
speed is more effective just by observing what happens
as you make a pass or two at different speeds. When
working with plastic, for example, start at a slow rate of
speed and increase the speed until you observe that the
plastic is melting at the point of contact. Then reduce
the speed slightly to get the optimum working speed.
Some rules of thumb in regard to speed:
1. Plastic and materials that melt at low temperatures
should be cut at low speeds.
2. Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wire brush
must be done at speeds below 15,000 RPM to
prevent damage to the brush.
3. Wood should be cut at high speed.
4. Iron or steel should be cut at top speed if using
tungsten carbide accessory, but at slower speeds
if using high speed steel cutters. If a high speed
steel cutter starts to chatter — this normally
means it is running too slow.
5. Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys
and tin may be cut at various speeds, depending
on the type of cutting being done. Use paraffin or
other suitable lubricant on the cutter to prevent
the cut material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
Increasing the pressure on the tool is not the answer
when it is not cutting as you think it should. Perhaps
you should be using a different cutter, and perhaps an
adjustment in speed would solve the problem. But
leaning on the tool seldom helps.
Your Dremel Stylus can be used with all of the Dremel
accessories, except router bits. While the tool will
work with cut-off wheels, the reduced speed of this
tool will not allow them to perform optimally. They
can be used to cut soft materials such as wood or
plastic, but cutting metals is not recommended. The
Stylus tool cannot be used with any of the Dremel line
of attachments (attachments screw on to the nose of
a rotary tool.)

The number and variety of accessories for the Rotary
Tool are almost limitless. There is a category suited to
almost any job you might have to do — and a variety
of sizes and shapes within each category which enables you to get the perfect accessory for every need.
Refer to the DREMEL ACCESSORY ORDER FORM for
illustrations of the accessories available. These
accessories may be found at your local hardware,
hobby or home center dealers.
For a complete list of accessories and their uses,
please visit us at www.dremel.com.
Collets
If you expect to use a variety of accessories, we recommend that in the beginning you purchase a complete set
of four collets. Store these so that you will have the
proper size of collet for any accessory or drill bit you
want to use. Currently, the 1/8", 3/32",1/32" and 1/16"
collets accommodate all of the available Dremel
accessories. 1/8" collets are included in most rotary
tool kits.
Mandrels
A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw head,
which are required when you use polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding discs, and polishing
points. The reason mandrels are used is that sanding
discs, cutting wheels and similar accessories must be
replaced frequently. The mandrel is a permanent
shank, allowing you to replace only the worn head
when necessary, thus saving the expense of replacing
the shaft each time.
Screw Mandrel No. 401
This is a screw mandrel used with the felt polishing tip
and felt polishing wheels. 1/8" shank.
Small Screw Mandrel No. 402
This is a mandrel with a small screw at its tip, and is
used with emery and fiberglass cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels. 1/8" shank.
Use only Dremel Tested, High Performance Accessories. Other accessories are not
designed for this tool and may lead to personal injury or property damage.
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
These are tough, long-lived cutters for use on hardened steel, fired ceramics and other very hard materials. They can be used for engraving on tools and
garden equipment. 1/8" shanks.
Engraving Cutters
This group has a wide variety of sizes and shapes, and
are made for intricate work on ceramics (greenware),
wood carvings, jewelry and scrimshaw. They often are
used in making complicated printed circuit boards.
They should not be used on steel and other very hard
materials but are excellent on wood, plastic and soft
metals. 3/32" shank.
Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutters
Fast cutting, needle-sharp teeth for greater material
removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass,
wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber. 1/8" and 1/4" shank.
Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones (red/brown)
Round, pointed, flat — you name the shape and there is
one available in this category. These are made of aluminum oxide and cover virtually every possible kind of
grinding application. Use them for sharpening lawn
mower blades, screwdriver tips, knives, scissors, chisels
and other cutting tools. Use to remove flash from metal
castings, deburring any metal after cutting, smoothing
welded joints, grinding off rivets and removing rust.
These grinding stones can be resharped with a dressing
stone. In machine shops, high speed drills and cutters
normally are ground with aluminum oxide wheels. 1/8"
shank.
Threaded Tip Mandrel No. 424
This is a mandrel with a threaded tip which threads into
the polishing point accessory No. 427. 1/8" shank.
High Speed Cutters
Available in many shapes, high speed cutters are used
in carving, cutting and slotting in wood, plastics and
soft metals such as aluminum, copper and brass. These
are the accessories to use for freehand routing or carving in wood or plastic, and for precision cutting. Made
of high quality steel. 1/8" shank.
Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones (blue/green)
Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these are made
especially for use on hard materials such as glass and
ceramics. Typical uses might be the removal of stilt
marks and excess glaze on ceramics and engraving on
glass. 1/8" shank.
Diamond Wheel Points
Excellent for fine detail work on wood, jade, ceramic,
glass and other hard material. Bits are covered with
diamond particles. 3/32" shanks.

Dremel Accessories - (Cont.)
Wire Brushes
Three different shapes of wire brushes are available.
For best results wire brushes should be used at
speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM. Refer to
Operating Speeds section for proper tool speed
setting. The three shapes come in three different
materials: stainless steel, brass and carbon wire. The
stainless steel perform well on pewter, aluminum,
stainless steel, and other metals, without leaving "afterrust". Brass brushes are non sparking, and softer than
steel; making them good for use on soft metal like gold,
cooper and brass. The carbon wire brushes are good
for general purpose cleaning.
Bristle Brushes
These are excellent cleaning tools on silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three shapes make it possible to
get into tight corners and other difficult places. Bristle
brushes can be used with polishing compound for
faster cleaning or polishing.
Brushing Pressure
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the work.
Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only
the tips of the wire come in contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be
overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this
is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened
due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as
much of the brush face as possible is in full contact
with the work. Applying the side or edge of the brush
to the work will result in wire breakage and shortened
brush life.
CORRECT:
Wire tips doing the work.
INCORRECT:
Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
Polishing Accessories
These include an impregnated polishing point and an
impregnated polishing wheel for bringing metal surfaces to smooth finish; a felt polishing tip and felt
polishing wheel, and cloth polishing wheel, all used for
polishing plastics, metals, jewelry and small parts. Also
included in this group is a polishing compound (No.
421) for use with the felt and cloth polishers.
Polishing points make a very smooth surface, but a
high luster is obtained using felt or cloth wheels and
polishing compound.
accessories should be used at speeds not greater
than 15,000 RPM.
No polishing compound is needed when using the
425 Polishing Wheel or 427 Polishing point.
For best results polishing
Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Wheels
Use to remove paint, deburr metal, polish stainless
steel and other metals. Available in fine and medium
grits. 1/8" shank.
Sanding Accessories
Sanding discs in fine, medium and coarse grades are
made to fit mandrel No. 402. They can be used for
nearly any small sanding job you might have, from
model making to fine furniture finishing. In addition,
there is the drum sander, a tiny drum which fits into the
Rotary Tool and makes it possible to shape wood,
smooth fiberglass, sand inside curves and other difficult places, and other sanding jobs. You replace the
sanding bands on the drum as they become worn and
lose their grit. Bands come in fine and coarse grades.
Flapwheels grind and polish flat or contoured surfaces.
They are used most effectively as a finishing sander
after heavier sur
completed. Flapwheels come in fine and coarse grades.
Buffs are a great finishing accessor

Cutting Wheels
These thin discs of emery or fiberglass are used for
slicing, cutting off and similar operations. Use them for
cutting off frozen bolt heads and nuts, or to reslot a
screw head which has become so damaged that the
screwdriver won’t work in it. Fine for cutting BX cable,
small rods, tubing, cable and cutting rectangular holes
in sheet metal.
Mandrel No. 401 is used with the felt polishing tip and wheels. Thread the tip on to the screw carefully. The
felt tip must thread down straight on the screw Mandrel, and be turned all the way to the collar.
