GUIDE FOR ROTARY TOOL BITS
NOTE:
This Rotary Tool Kit does not include all of the accessories described.
Sanding Bands:
Sanding Bands of different grits and sizes are used to sand curves in wood or plastic. use a larger sanding
band for curves with a larger arc. finer grits give a smoother finish; coarser grits offer more aggressive
sanding. Choose a sanding mandrel that matches the band you want to use. Loosen the screw in the top of
the sanding mandrel. Slide the band over the mandrel, and tighten the screw to expand the rubber drum and
secure the band.
Wire Brushes:
Wire Brushes and Cup Wheels are for smoothing, de-burring, and cleaning metal surfaces. use to remove paint,
rust, corrosion, and weld slag.
Brushes should be run at operating speed for at least one minute before using. This allows loose wires and
bristles to be discharged prior to work application. Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds
greater than 15,000 rpm. Bristles or wires can be thrown from the brush at higher speeds. 15,000 RPM is
approximately halfway on the speed dial of your variable speed rotary tool. Do not use on the mini-Rotary Tool.
Wear protective gloves and face shield when using wire brushes.
The Silver/Grey brushes are carbon steel general-purpose brushes. The Gold/Yellow Brushes are Brass Brushes,
which will work better on softer metals like Copper, brass, or precious metals.
Bristle Brushes
:
Bristle Brushes are for cleaning and de-burring softer, delicate, or antique metals (such as Gold and Silver) and
various non-metallic surfaces such as graphite and rubber. use with polishing compound for faster results.
Aluminum Oxide Sand paper, Grinding Stones,
Wheels and Points (Red/Brown):
Aluminum Oxide Bits are for grinding and shaping metals of all kinds. Sharpen scissors, screwdriver tips, tools,
blades, milled, uneven surfaces. De-burr metal pieces after cutting. Clean up welds. Remove rust. Re-sharpen
with provided dressing stone.
Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones, Wheels & Points
(Blue):
Silicon Carbide Bits are for grinding and shaping very hard materials, such as glass, ceramics, and stone. Re-
sharpen with provided dressing stone.
Diamond Grinding Points:
Diamond Grinding Points in many shapes and sizes can be used to shape, cut, carve, and engrave in very hard
materials such as brick, masonry, concrete, glass, ceramics, porcelain, and stone.
Engraving Cutters:
engraving Cutters of different shapes and sizes are used for intricate engraving, routing, and carving in wood,
plastic, and soft metals.
High Speed Drill Bits:
for fast drilling of holes in plastic, wood, and softer metals.
Fiberglass Cut-Off Wheels and Emery Cut-Off Discs:
Cut-Off Discs and Wheels of various thicknesses are used for cutting and slotting all types of metals, plastics, and
very thin wood pieces.
The cut-off wheels must be mounted on the provided mandrel to be used. Loosen and remove the screw in the
top of the mandrel. Position the wheel between the two pink grommets. Replace and tighten the screw to secure
the wheel.
Felt Polishing Wheels, Bonnets, and Points:
use these (with polishing compound, if you like) to polish metals and plastics of
various shapes and sizes. use with screw mandrel.
