WONDERFUL!!!! cutting tool
There are others who say that this bit doesn't work... the only thing I can think is that they do not understand how to use it. I have used these bits to cut through lanolium, wood, sheetrock and metal with no problems.
1) IT IS NOT A PLUNGE BIT!! There is no sharp, or split tip with which to bore into an object. Instead the bit has to be leaned into the item to be cut until it is perpendicular to the surface, or started from an edge.
2) After you understand how to start a cut you must remember that SPEED is of the ESSENCE - the faster the bit is spinning the better it will cut.
3) The last thing to remember to use this bit successfully is to let the tool do the work. Light, slow, controlling pressure is the best way to make a successful cut, and the harder the material being cut, the slower one will want to advance.
I love these bits and always keep a couple of them in my case with my rotary tool.
Great Product (but buy an extra one or two)
These things work great. Make sure you have the plastic guide cage designed to work with this bit and the Dremel.
They do break if you torque on them. Buy an extra one to make sure you can complete the project in case of bad luck.
FYI- My local stores are always sold out of these "bit only" sets (they require you to buy a bigger set that comes with the plastic guide cage).
Can't improve this design much
What jhon carkeet has said is true for me as well. If you expect this thing to go straight line with little or no control on your end your in for an aggravating experience. It takes a while to get use to the way it wants to pull to one side and go in a circle on it's own. After you learn how to use it becomes a small scale free handers dream. You must hold it vary firmly to prevent it from jumping around. Also the horrible noise it makes is unavoidable. When you have herd the racket the "¼ ones the Rotozip uses, you will not complain.
