Best accessories for a Dremel tool

[Chee]

Just bought a cordless Dremel from Bunning.
What are the most useful add on for this tool?
Or the top five most useful add on ?

Did you buy a bare tool or a kit? i.e. with cutting discs, sanding drums etc. I bought the kit and I use the cutting discs a lot for cutting new screw driver slots in stripped screw heads, and cutting off rounded nuts in tight places. I've also bought some 3mm shank rotary burrs which I use quite a bit, and I've used the sanding drums quite a bit modifying perspex. They are a very handy tool.

They are very handy for delicate work hey. I bought one to do the Bike Brake calipers, which needed the 'O' rings channels cleaned up with out damaging the surfaces. The dremel tool with the thin wire brush fitted & worked perfectly

I guess which attachments one uses comes down to what job applications you need it for.. From jewelry, engravings to Motorbike maintenance

Hello Al,
I bought the 8220 kit but it has a bare minimum accessories.
Cost me $149.

Hi Bob,
I will be using the Dremel for woodworking and metal work.
Mostly cutting and shaping.
I am thinking of adding the ez speed clic as it did not come with it.
And perhaps a tungsten carbide cutting bit.

Have a chat with your local dentist or dental technician. All the straight shank burs, grinding stones, mounted discs etc. that they use will fit the Dremel. If you can get them that way, it's probably cheaper than Bunnings and suchlike.

Laboratory motors used by dentists and dental technicians use the same shank size as Dremel, but they are NOT used in the surgery.
Before I retired, I stocked up on burs, grinding stones sanding disks and so forth and I have huge range for future use.

Thanks for the inputs.
I decided to buy the 110 pcs access kit for just$39.
Might add the dura tungsten cutter set later.
Cheers and merry Xmas to Iceinspace members!
