eddiefletcher Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I was just wondering where everyone gets there bits for Dremels? Living in Oz everyone that sells them seems mighty expensive so I was curious to see if there is anywhere online that can provide them? Or if anyone here uses a certain person / company?

jbkim Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I can't help you with an AUS source but I recall people here have asked their dentists for old bits. I'll be asking mine on my next visit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I've found them fairly inexpensive on Ebay before but usually I just go to my local hardware store. The dentist bit's are for inlay work since those have finer tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo328 Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Dremel has a cataloge (sp?) that you can order direct from. The prices are slightly cheaper than the hardware stores around me. I obtained my cataloge by going to the store and looking at a new dremel and the sales guy just gave it to me. I don't know if you can get them online though.

Southpa Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 With what dentists charge these days I make sure I get a little extra out of them. My last trip to the dentist yielded about 200 bits all different types, shapes and sizes. Like Brian mentioned, good for inlay work etc., but thats about all I use my dremel for anyway.

These were the "carving" attatchments not straight-cut, right? What kinds of bits do you guys use for inlay. A picture would probably help if you can scrape one up.

Page_Master Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 hey eddie just go to bunnings warehouse in the power tools section. well where i am, they have literally hundered of dremel bits. and yes they are quite expensive, around $20-$50 but you get what you pay for. i have used dremelesque parts and they are nowhere near as good as the genuine article - they wear and tear like a MF. besides router bits cost a lot too, and if you use them right they last for years.
