Rotary tools are versatile hand-held power tools that use a high-speed motor to spin attached bits at thousands of RPM. A wide variety of attachments and small bit size make rotary tools a must-have for hobbies, crafts, and doing detail, precision, and small-scale projects.
What is a rotary tool used for?
Rotary tools can be used for all kinds of tasks, from drilling, cutting, carving, to polishing, sanding, sharpening, and engraving a variety of materials including wood, metal, and glass.
Are rotary tools safe?
Rotary tools are safe, but they operate and rotate attachments at very high speeds, so you should always wear gloves and a face shield or safety glasses when using them, secure any loose hair or clothing, and consider a face mask or well-ventilated space if you'll be grinding anything that makes a lot of dust.
