Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Let your tool do the work
Sharp knives. Fresh wood. Less pressure. Letting your carving tools and accessories do the work is essential if you don't want your fresh wood to crack and break before you've created anything. Always keep your knives as sharp as possible to allow for easy carving and a clean cut and finish. The high-speed rotations of your Dremel® tool and accessories are designed to remove the rest, so all you need to do is hold them and keep a steady hand.
Check your accessories
Another common mistake while carving wood is when a user allows an accessory to stick out too much. Your Dremel accessory should protrude no further than half the length of the shank, but preferably even less. Having it stick out 0.3 to 0.5 mm is perfect.
