I've spent all day searching for how to attach the rotary multi tool cutting guide to the Dremel tool. Either I'd see the tool neatly surrounded by bits and sometimes I'd see the tool attached to the Dremel. But you are the only one who bothered to tell us how to attach it. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the video and you certainly did not speak too much.
If no one else has answered, I think that's the 565 Cutting Guide Attachment, and the one for tile cutting is 566. I find myself coming to your videos so often when trying to learn the functionality of my Dremel, its attachments and accessories. I chuckle as I watch, because I know your supposed ineptness is a more effective teaching tool than that of a lecturer. You are great and I appreciate each video!
TY very much for posting..I have a new Dremel 4300...my father never showed me how to use a rotary tool, so your video helped me quickly figure out the basics..The part where you show which bit is for cutting and the difference between that bit and a standard drill bit was very helpful.. Using the cutting bit correctly at set depth with the cutting guide attachment that came included - helped me quickly mortise my new door slab for the three hinges at the correct depth without having to get any additional tool attachments or make a jig. Appreciated!
Hiya .. comments mention your oresentation delivery is slow. It is. However some people .. not that clued up .. need this. Your delivery us slow but solid. There are no gaps, mistakes and all. I come away confident, feeling i know the a to z of the job. So many thanks for that and many thanks to the guys who critique and suggest mods to the exercise at hand. Cheers. Nice 1.
Because of this video I fixed a cake plate that my wife just bought and the top was smaller than the rail and I was able to open the rail wider. Thank you….
Hi there 👋 I came across your video because I was hunting for a tutorial/guide to teach me how to use the Dremel cutting attachment & cutting bit with my new Dremel 4000. Right now, I'm trying to see what bits and attachments I have will help me make a hole in a piece of wood a little bit wider. I found your video informative & will be purchasing additional cutting bits for my Dremel. I liked how easy the router bit was to work with in your video & that you also talked about the cutting bit as well. This is my first time attempting to use my Dremel and the attachments/ bits that come with it. I hope I get more comfortable working with the 4000 soon. Thanks again for your video
I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.
THe router bits have a larger surface area in which they are cutting so you've got to run the bit at the highest safe speed. Your 1st pass the dremel motor was overworking itself and that's not good for the tool, the project(it'll get burns), & safety might come into play? I started using these in the early 80's doing Antique Restoration.... they weren't nearly as functional as today's & the number/type of bits is amazing. Good video, showing the old/new users some of the ins/outs of the tool, the bits, & the accessories is always a good deal....... thanks
Thank you for the video. Keep them coming. I'm not sure which way the Dremel is rotating, but on a full size or trim router you should have been cutting in the opposite direction (counter clockwise). That would make the router easier to handle and give you a smoother cut.
It's obvious that you're not comfortable being on camera. And editing isn't your strongest suit. But you are very informative and knowledgeable with the tools and accessories and I find that very helpful. Whenever I'm looking for information regarding the Dremel I usually come across a video of yours. Thank you for all the great work and explanation to help us with our projects and understanding of the tool and its accessories
In not uncomfortable behind a camera but I am definitely not gifted with the talent of public speaking. Thanks for the constructive criticsm and watching my vids.
I’ve got to disagree. I thought your presentation and speaking skills were plenty good. You were straightforward and informative throughout. Also, thanks for taking time to be extra detailed in your detailing the accessory, it’s all too common to find some info on the web that doesn’t touch upon the very thing you’re trying to figure out!
Not sure which direction the Dremel spins, but when using a typical router, you should route in an anti-clockwise direction - that way the router bit does not push away from/out of the cut.
I have just seen " Intro To Dremel Spiral Cutter With Router Bits " and I have just bought a this Dremel Spiral Cutter Kit. About 40 secs into the video you mentioned that you did not know the part number for the kit the part number on the box the bits came in is DREMEL 565. Hope this helps you.
There are some good points in your video. One suggestion though is to show going shallow 1st then show why not to go deep. Was afraid that you were going to destroy your Dremel
Sorry for the 3rd comment. This is a safety tip. I have I have noticed that the Dremel Chuck isn't the safest thing to use. I've had it loosen on me a few times. The problem I deduced from talking to another TH-cam poster is that wood dust gets into it. Then it will feel tightened. Then, approximately 2 minutes into using it. I hear a funny noise and stop my Dremel and the bit is completely loose. Sorry for the pun but But I had to chuck it. Yes I did clean the dust out.Yes I did take it apart to clean it. I even used a Special powder to clean it. I tried everything trust me not worth a trip to the E.R, Or God forbid not worth your eyesight.
I might have to get in touch with Dremmel..I read that Bosch now owns them..Apparently I must have a 3/16 shaft router bit. The collect will not tighten on smaller or larger bits than 3/16". So today I started building hildren's chairs. I made a 3 inch dado on a chair leg with my table saw and some other stuff so I can put it all together in the end. The next dado will.be using a spade bit. These days I work about an 1/8 " shy of the edges of the dato. Next I move the spade bit to top and bottom. Then I router with a wuq4ter inch bit so a smoothie.durface..Last thing I do is use my Japanese saw and saw to the likes removing probably a.sixteenth of an inch of wood. This makes a very good joint.
Yes, Bosch purchased Dremel (which owned RotoZip) and Skil about 2005. I had the pleasure of working with them just after the buyout and found Bosch a great company to work with. I demoed the Dremel tool line at Home Depot and Lowes for almost 2 years.
When clamping anything you want the heel of the clamp to always be higher than the work piece. If not the majority of the pressure is on your table and not holding your work
You said you have a 300 Dremel, well I have a 3000.... I have had it over a year but never used it until now. I purchased that piece you discussed. How do you keep that Dremel steady while trying to cut a straight drawn line? you would think it would move everywhere without a guide.
The L key and the arrow key to the right on your keyboard are your best friend. Tap the L key to skip 10 seconds ahead, and the right arrow key to skip 5 seconds ahead.
Thank you so much for explaining how it all goes together. I'm fairly new to this and I can always use a really thorough explanation. Is there a standard depth for carving with the Dremel?
Thanks for this very helpful video. It's very useful. I use a Proxxon rotary tool which doesn't have the threaded nose cone that the Dremel has. Any idea if, without the threads, I'd be able to attach to my Proxxon? Thanks for any suggestions : )
That attachment is designed by Dremel to be used as a router attachment. The bit you are using is not a wood routing bit which is why the Dremel was overloading and not cutting clean.
I respect your opinion but have to disagree. This item is a spiral cutter which is a completely different design than a router bit. Many people use the base for a router attachment but it wasnt designed for that purpose. Think of this like the Roto-Zip tool that cuts through drywall, thin woods, etc. A router but is used primarily for making decorative edges, grooves, chamfers, etc. I do have 3 videos planned that incorporate the router and many of its intended functions. Thanks for watching and commenting.
"The bit you are using is not a wood routing bit which is why the Dremel was overloading and not cutting clean." PLEASE, Please, please! elaborate on this. I've been having a hell of a time with my projects and I've suspected I'm not using the right bits, but damned if I can get a straight answer out of the internet. Essentially I have a dremel 4200 and I want to use it for letter engraving (Actually, i draw mazes). Nothing I try ends up working well for very long.
Well it doesnt show you how to cut out designs but I did like learning about preparing, installing and using the Dremel Guide. FYI, when I bought the kit, #565 it came with two types of cutting bits. Cutting bits #560: two (2) drywall, #561: one (1) multipurpose: wood, aluminium, laminate cutting bit. I would like to learn/see how the #561 cutting bit is used to cut out fine designs with 90 degree corners and arches, to trace the outline of my baseboard behind my fridge. OR WHAT type of bit to use for cutting out those shapes. I have a 3/4" segment of wood covered with a white laminate. These pieces of wood go on either side of my fridge/freezer to support the cabinet above the fridge. I traced the outline of the baseboard onto blue painters tape taped to where the back of the board needs the shape of the baseboard cut out so it will fit over the baseboard and against the wall.
I bought the Tacklife rotary kit, it came with an attachment like this, it was described as a router attachment. Haven't used it yet so looking forward to seeing you use this.
Some really good information in this but I feel like you could have explained it at a faster pace or used cuts to minimize your setup time. IMO this should have been between 5&7 min.
I agree... I get low-key triggered (not really lol just saying...) when people make tutorials believing that the viewers are complete morons who need the most extensive explanations for even the most obvious, common-sensical points. 🤦🏻♀️ I still very much appreciate that he made this, and is just wanting to teach what he knows! ...To me, though, for _anyone_ making tutorials, this is exactly the kind of criticism that’s most valuable & that viewers _should_ point out (of course politely/in a constructive manner!) Otherwise, how would any OP know different, right?
I was going to suggest adding maybe 5 to 8 minutes more to the video. Just talking about safety and how dangerous the Dremel can actually be. Maybe with a couple hotdogs and he could cut them with the Dremel the hotdogs to represent fingers. Be safe out there. Engage safety squints. LOL AVE forever
Tried using this for the first time to cut out a simple shape but couldn't get a smooth line to save my life...Found that going clockwise/with it had slightly better control but overall, still had a tough time. Also what RPMs do you recommend for cutting out wood? Was using 1/2" thick poplar earlier.
What you call a cutting bit is actually called a spiral bit. Did not know that it pulls material up. As an FYI, Dremel says to set the base to 0 and have your bit semi-tight. Gently press down until it's flush then you're zeroed out.
Hey Ray, I didn't know what that was for..and it probably got tossed. But hey, if u still have manual, that part number will be in there,,,I believe. Ive had two dremmels, and one off brand dremmel (bought that cuz cheap and it had wand for my nails). Dremmels are great, it was my first power tool lol
Great video!! Very informative! 2 questions: how to make curved grooves with or without the edge guide? How does the spiral bit work to cut through wood, if one wants to cut a hole for example? Thanks!!
Thank you very much for the vid, it really helps. I wanted the attachment for a long time but didnt understand how they went on the dremel (mine is black and decker) so I didnt buy it. But now I understand and yes i can see it would work on the B&D fine. When I bought mine i immediately changed to the multi-chuck and now I dont know where the heck that original collet is. Would the multi-chuck really not work? Seems there is a enough space for it. Is the problem bit depth or the inability to tighten it?
If you're talking about the attachment at 2:05 with the 30 degree angle, that is a Grout Removal Attachment 568. us.dremel.com/en_US/products/-/show-product/tools/dremel-568-grout-removal-attachment I don't think the 565 Multipurpose Cutting Kit is angled (but I've only seen pictures). us.dremel.com/en_US/products/-/show-product/tools/565-multipurpose-cutting-kit
There is also a MultiPurpose Cutting Kit: #565 - Allows for sturdy controlled cuts in a variety of materials; including drywall, laminate, fiberglass, plastic and vinyl siding.
It would be interesting to see a comparison between a Dremel type tool and an actual trim router for this type work. From my experience the trim router is the best choice, both in price and performance.
There is no need for the comparison, the trim router would be the clear winner. The tools are made for different types or work, skill level, age etc. My favorite is the Bosch Colt but the Porter Cable has never failed me in 25 years. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for a helpful video, just a couple of points; close-up photography extremely blurred, can think of safer ‘pointers’ than a Stanley type knife! Lol
bought a Dremel years ago, but never used it ... I have a thick metal Star (about 1"x2"L) with an inscription that I want to remove. I think I can use this tool to remove the words ... can you give me some guidance on HOW to do this without destroying the piece? thank you!
I'm curious about your work surface with the clamp feature. Can you elaborate on it a bit? Brand etc.? I just recently got the plunge router attachment for my Dremel and it would be nice to have a clamp table as you have. It that a router table or what?
You have a great start with all of you equipment to video and your working tools. Now watch what you have recorded. Now script what you need to say and voice over the video. Do not make us suffer with all of your discoveries and do not make excuses. Only show us your finished product with all of those things that do not mean a thing gone. (Meaningful steps of your task) Length of video is not the measure of a good video. Impact is a better measure. Knowing your material and anticipating the outcome, before you record, are your best tools toward a BEST video.
It is not my goal to make a perfect video. I do have plenty of equipment and knowledge to make a perfect video BUT making a perfect video does not show someones natural abilities and skills. Reading from a script like Hollywood style is so unnatural and boring. I love it when someone has the opportunity to pass along constructive criticism and add some value to the channel for the people watching.
Hello I have the WEN 2305 rotary tool that is similar to a dremel rotary tool. Is there a bit and guide I can use to cut a groove in the middle of the wood. 1/4" deep, 3/16" wide. Thanks.
This would be ok on a small project but seems a bit awkward to hold vertically. You’ve convinced me to invest in a small router. Good to know information though, thanks!
Hello, thanks for the informative videos and channel. I have a dremel 3000, and it is like loosing its power a bit, any idea how to measure the number of revolutions per seconds in order to know the ratio of loss? Which tool/machine may I use to know if it's performing like 25k ps or less? Another question is that the speed levels 2 and 4 are almost void now, the dremel doesn't run until that i switch to number 6. Many thanks and sorry if I added my comment in a wrong place/ thread. All the best for everyone
Where can I get.3/16 router bit.? Home.depot doesn't stock one in their dremmel sectiom. Also Ace hardware.dremmel bit is a 1/8 inch shaft ..Any ideas?
@@ScrollsawVideo Here is what my owner's manual says...or something like it. Bits may not be larger than 3/16 ". I knew I had 1/8 router bits. But the unit appears to only take exactly 3/16 " shafts. It would be hard to believe that Dremel has the tool and die patent.
Maybe my dremel router bit was sticking out too much. It makes black marks on the wood piece and you couod smell smoke. I kept forcing it and finally got done.
I've spent all day searching for how to attach the rotary multi tool cutting guide to the Dremel tool. Either I'd see the tool neatly surrounded by bits and sometimes I'd see the tool attached to the Dremel. But you are the only one who bothered to tell us how to attach it. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the video and you certainly did not speak too much.

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with.

Agreed. I have been trying to figure out how that piece worked but most other videos show advanced techniques. I just needed something simple.
@@julialewis8794 Thank you for the kind words. I try to not over complicate things and talk to the 'normal' person.

Thank you for the video. Keep them coming. I'm not sure which way the Dremel is rotating, but on a full size or trim router you should have been cutting in the opposite direction (counter clockwise). That would make the router easier to handle and give you a smoother cut.

I believe if not all, then most rotate clockwise, and so the wood should be on the left of the bit.

He didn't show us how to use a spiral cutter so ...what video were you watching?
Thank you for your video. I learned so much. I really like the way you show the bits and the difference between them.
You did you like when he showed you the different bits and then didn’t use them? I don’t think you should be using power tools LoL

You have the tool running too slow, turn up the motor speed and do it in several passes for best results.
Exactly what I noticed too. I was like dam poor machine crank it up a bit

You came up in my search because you had “spiral cutter” in your title. Misleading. You showed the spiral cutter but then you just put it aside.
You really need to do a number of cuts and show close ups of the results. People looking for videos like this want to know the quality of the results.
The L key and the arrow key to the right on your keyboard are your best friend. Tap the L key to skip 10 seconds ahead, and the right arrow key to skip 5 seconds ahead.
Just wondering what strain of weed are you smoking?

PLEASE, Please, please! elaborate on this. I've been having a hell of a time with my projects and I've suspected I'm not using the right bits, but damned if I can get a straight answer out of the internet.
Essentially I have a dremel 4200 and I want to use it for letter engraving (Actually, i draw mazes). Nothing I try ends up working well for very long.
eyflfla They have a special kit for engraving things and stuff, the finer work, it's like $40, look for 'dremel 225' !

Thanks for the lesson. Good learning for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!! Thanks for the class and information.
Thank you! Great vid! Now do I get that or just go out and get a small router??
Get a router, I prefer my Bosch Colt....small and easy to use with these old hands.
if we gradually lower the bit then it is easy to get a cleaner cut.
will this bit cut metal too? I have a project I'm doing and need to cut out fine details in sheet metal.
Excellent video! You explained everything very well. Thanks!
Thank you.
Please subscribe and stay tuned for more vids.
Hey Ray, I didn't know what that was for..and it probably got tossed. But hey, if u still have manual, that part number will be in there,,,I believe. Ive had two dremmels, and one off brand dremmel (bought that cuz cheap and it had wand for my nails).
Dremmels are great, it was my first power tool lol
Great video!! Very informative!
2 questions: how to make curved grooves with or without the edge guide?
How does the spiral bit work to cut through wood, if one wants to cut a hole for example?
Thanks!!
I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!
That is awesome! Thanks so much!!!
Any time!
Can you tell me what table you are using with that clamp. Looks like Keter or so? Where can I purchase it?
Thank you very much for the vid, it really helps. I wanted the attachment for a long time but didnt understand how they went on the dremel (mine is black and decker) so I didnt buy it. But now I understand and yes i can see it would work on the B&D fine. When I bought mine i immediately changed to the multi-chuck and now I dont know where the heck that original collet is. Would the multi-chuck really not work? Seems there is a enough space for it. Is the problem bit depth or the inability to tighten it?

Very slow demonstration, makes me sleepy.
Sounded like that tool was suffering a painful death.
It was praying for death lol
I hope you' ll never experience someone's real death ...you don't know what you're talking about 😱
59 yr old woman. Learning to use dremel. Need to know speed to use with each different bit, buffer, router, etc.
The video was very good and provided excellent information. Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Can I ask what your table is and does it come with all the tracks fitted cheers
Great video!..
I learned some neat tricks.
That is a Dremel, 565 Cutting Kit
DREMEL | Zoro #: G0515426 | Mfr #: 565
If you're talking about the attachment at 2:05 with the 30 degree angle, that is a Grout Removal Attachment 568.

I don't think the 565 Multipurpose Cutting Kit is angled (but I've only seen pictures).

Is it possible to sculp wood with those bits or are they only used for engraving?
Amazing 😊👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
whats the workbench with the cool sliding clamp things called?
Just used my Dremel 3000 to notch out some door hinges with the #566 attachment tool, but I don't trust the "death gauge" feature on it ;-)
« depth gauge »
on your video is use the 566 Tile Cutting Kit since you said you didn't knew the model
There is also a MultiPurpose Cutting Kit: #565 - Allows for sturdy controlled cuts in a variety of materials; including drywall, laminate, fiberglass, plastic and vinyl siding.
It would be interesting to see a comparison between a Dremel type tool and an actual trim router for this type work. From my experience the trim router is the best choice, both in price and performance.
There is no need for the comparison, the trim router would be the clear winner. The tools are made for different types or work, skill level, age etc. My favorite is the Bosch Colt but the Porter Cable has never failed me in 25 years.
Thanks for watching.
I have a dremel 3000 and wonder if I can plunge cut through a 5/8th piece of treated wood?
Thank you for a helpful video, just a couple of points; close-up photography extremely blurred, can think of safer ‘pointers’ than a Stanley type knife! Lol
Routing jobs require much higher speed than what you have set your machine to
Great demo, thank you for sharing the potential of this attachment!
It's an informative video but too much talking and not enough doing.
I disagree. It was very helpful information.
Thank you! I was not understanding the directions but with this now I know what to do!! :)
Part no. 565 "Multipurpose Cutting Kit"
Can you use small drill bits pin holes scroll saw work.
Do you by chance know if you can use Dremel attachments on other brands of rotary tools?
Yes.....but only if the threading on the housing is the same size.
bought a Dremel years ago, but never used it ... I have a thick metal Star (about 1"x2"L) with an inscription that I want to remove. I think I can use this tool to remove the words ... can you give me some guidance on HOW to do this without destroying the piece? thank you!
I'm curious about your work surface with the clamp feature. Can you elaborate on it a bit? Brand etc.? I just recently got the plunge router attachment for my Dremel and it would be nice to have a clamp table as you have. It that a router table or what?
I have videos of all 6 of my portable workbenches, please check them out when time allows.
i watched the video because I wanted to see how to use the cutting bits and you just moved them out of the way...
thats result of diy directing,..
You have a great start with all of you equipment to video and your working tools. Now watch what you have recorded. Now script what you need to say and voice over the video. Do not make us suffer with all of your discoveries and do not make excuses. Only show us your finished product with all of those things that do not mean a thing gone. (Meaningful steps of your task) Length of video is not the measure of a good video. Impact is a better measure. Knowing your material and anticipating the outcome, before you record, are your best tools toward a BEST video.
It is not my goal to make a perfect video.
I do have plenty of equipment and knowledge to make a perfect video BUT making a perfect video does not show someones natural abilities and skills. Reading from a script like Hollywood style is so unnatural and boring. I love it when someone has the opportunity to pass along constructive criticism and add some value to the channel for the people watching.
Hello I have the WEN 2305 rotary tool that is similar to a dremel rotary tool. Is there a bit and guide I can use to cut a groove in the middle of the wood. 1/4" deep, 3/16" wide. Thanks.
Use the method shown in this video but make multiple passes adjusting the depth and width with every pass.
This would be ok on a small project but seems a bit awkward to hold vertically. You’ve convinced me to invest in a small router. Good to know information though, thanks!
That is the EXACT purpose of this base. I bought one & I love mine. I also have a 1/4 " & 1/2" HD router as well
Hello, thanks for the informative videos and channel. I have a dremel 3000, and it is like loosing its power a bit, any idea how to measure the number of revolutions per seconds in order to know the ratio of loss? Which tool/machine may I use to know if it's performing like 25k ps or less? Another question is that the speed levels 2 and 4 are almost void now, the dremel doesn't run until that i switch to number 6. Many thanks and sorry if I added my comment in a wrong place/ thread. All the best for everyone
I know there are such tools but realistically, it may be cheaper to replace the rotary tool.
@@ScrollsawVideo You have a point there, many thanks to you
Go Easy on your baby 👶. It will work fine.
Hi! You gonna burn your motor, unless you don't increase the rpm..!
Can this be used for cutting big sheets of drywall? Can this also be used on other rotary tools other then Dremel?
If the mounting thread size match, this can be used for other rotary tools.
I have one mounted on my Black and Decker RTX 3 speed rotary tool and have had no problems.

Thank you for posting this video ~ appreciate your knowledge ~ thanks! 😀
great now i know what to do.thanks
Where can I get.3/16 router bit.? Home.depot doesn't stock one in their dremmel sectiom. Also Ace hardware.dremmel bit is a 1/8 inch shaft ..Any ideas?
Hmmm.....why do you need a 3/16?
@@ScrollsawVideo Here is what my owner's manual says...or something like it. Bits may not be larger than 3/16 ".
I knew I had 1/8 router bits. But the unit appears to only take exactly 3/16 " shafts. It would be hard to believe that Dremel has the
tool and die patent.
Thanks. What is the RPM?
I just bought this kit & I have a fairly small & inexpensive Dremel. It may be the cheapest smallest one they make. Will it still function properly?
Should not have any issues.
Maybe my dremel router bit was sticking out too much. It makes black marks on the wood piece and you couod smell smoke. I kept forcing it and finally got done.
