Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As with anything I've purchased from dremel - I am extremely PLEASED. I purchased this bit for the sole purpose of creating "key hole" slots in the back of a number of shadow box type projects I've completed and still have yet to begin. The bit does it's job well.
It's designed for routing, inlaying and mortising in wood and other soft materials. As quoted directly from the Dremel website:
User Tips Title
For best results, insert the accessory bit all the way into the tool and then back it out slightly before tightening down. This provides plenty of shank for the collet or chuck to hold onto.
Secure objects to a stable surface while working.
If chattering occurs, increase speed.
Keep a light touch, letting the speed of the tool do the work. This helps your accessory bits last longer
Dremel recommends speed settings of 35,000 rpms for both hard and soft woods
With that said since the bit does not have any type of self-tapping capability I would suggest drilling a pilot hole (5/16") to allow you to drop the bit into and then by using a guide to create your straight and pre-determined length mortise (slot) allow the dremel to feed itself through the material. The slot you'll end up with will roughly be around 3/16" - 1/4". This is import to know since the screws you'll be using to hang your project on can't have heads larger than 5/16" nor shafts larger than 1/4".
My results were spot on using this type of planning and set-up and I see much more use coming from this handy little bit
Thx Dremel:-)
