Dremel bits
 

So I searched but didn't see any discussion of the bits, only about the dremel it's self, so was wondering if anyone knows about the High speed cutting bits, it says cutting in the name but the color category and the site says carving and grinding so would it be good for cutting styrene? How is it compared to the cut off wheels?

The cutting bits are pretty aggressive...might tear up your work.

I would think that just about any fine tooth bit or cut off wheel would go through styrene cleanly.

On a side note, the 220 grit sanding drums do a nice job cleaning up edges.

i agree with creepycrawl...the regular cut-off wheel cuts styrene wonderful..i also have a high speed cutting bit several of them and they make a mess of a cut to much bite a cutoff wheel is the best choice"thumbsup"

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure, I saw that one seem like it had smaller size teeth.... I might give it a go and see if it might work, I just don't like getting melted plastic everywhere lol

I've not cut styrene with it, but I have cut other plastics (very thin stuff and up to 1/4") a few times with this ripping blade. It cuts cleanly and doesn't melt the plastic the way cutoff wheels do. Its made to be used with the fixture pictured below:

i have that same attachment and i recommend not using it just because when ur trimmimg styrene or a body usaully u hold it in ur hand and with the cut-off wheel a lil bump of the wheel on a finger dont hurt with the saw blade you're gonna lose a finger..but with any power tool you just have to be careful i bet the saw blade does make a good cut though.thanks for bringing that to my attn. i will try it

There is also a miniature one of that also, it's maybe a quarter of an in wide maybe a little smaller but it's teeth aren't huge or spaced far, that's the one I was talking about,

The cutter I showed is about 1 1/8" in diameter and thin as sheet metal. Roughly the size of a cutoff wheel.

Sorry lol:oops: meant to say quarter of an inch in diameter

if its styren you are cutting you can use a razor blade to score it a snap it of clean works great
