Rotary Tools
A rotary tool is a versatile handheld power tool that can be used with a wide variety of attachments to perform different tasks. Rotary tools are great items to have in your tool collection because they’re not as heavy and bulky as other tools, and they can handle nearly any job that comes your way. It’s a convenient jack-of-all-trades tool that can be used for light cutting, grinding, and cleaning tasks, as well as other assignments.
Rotary tools spin at high speeds, typically at 20,000 RPM, though some can reach as high as 35,000 RPM. These high speeds allow the tool to complete any job quickly, while its compact size and light weight ensures the user won’t tire out easily while operating it.
Types of Rotary Tool Attachments
The more attachments you have for your rotary tool, the more useful it becomes. Here are several of the most prominent rotary tool attachments and what they can do.
- Grinder: A grinding attachment like a bonded abrasive stone allows the rotary tool to create sharp edges in a material. This is ideal for sharpening knives, scissors, and other old or worn-out tools.
- Cutter: Attach a cut-off wheel or straight bit to your rotary head to turn it into a potent cutting tool. You can use a wheel to trim plastic or metal, and a straight bit to cut wood, drywall, plasterboard, and other light materials.
- Carving/Engraving:Carbide bits can cut fine details into wood or metal. This is great for framing and other decorative projects.
- Sanding:
- Though not ideal for larger surfaces, you can use a disc, wheel, band, or abrasive buff on your rotary tool to sand small details in furniture, molding, or metal pieces. You can even try triangular bits for those tough-to-reach corners.
- Polishing: Attaching a wire brush or polishing wheel to your rotary tool makes it easy to clean jewelry, silverware, and other small pieces.
