Lightweight and durable, it excels at detailed carving, engraving, and shaping on wood, plastic, and soft metals, making it an essential tool for professionals and hobbyists aiming for flawless craftsmanship. ## Description From the Manufacturer The Dremel 199 High Speed Cutter is an extremely versatile tool made from high-grade steel. It attaches to 1/8" (3,2mm) shanks, and is ideal for shaping, hollowing, grooving, slotting, inlaying and making tapered holes in soft metals, plastics and woods. The 199 is specially designed for making slots. User-Tips: For best results, insert the accessory bit all the way into the tool and then back it out slightly before tightening down. This provides plenty of shank for the collet or chuck to hold onto. Secure objects to a stable surface while working. Use the sides of the cutter (rather than the tip) for effective cutting. The tip cuts poorly and can break under pressure. Use higher speeds for hard woods, slower speeds for metals and very slow speeds for plastics (to avoid melting at the point of contact). If chattering occurs, increase speed. Use two hands to grip the tool. This cutter can grab and is subject to kickback.

Review: They're all good...if they're 'Dremel'. - This is almost a no brainer, but just in case...Dremel makes a number of sizes and shapes and so do other makers. The Dremel products are the ones to get as their shapes are exact, the cutting edges are precise and the steel is top quality and tempered to last a long time when used properly. These are made for the careful removal of stock from soft materials like wood and plastic...with the speed set fairly low to avoid burning or annealing the steel of the bit. Hard woods like Ebony, Rosewood etc. might be too hard. Keep a small stiff brass brush close by for clean up if you're working on plastic as they will often melt to the burr. They're not cheap, but they do last a really long time. I've even sharpened mine with a very fine needle file. Review: Good Cutter-Burr - I use this bur as a spot-facer on printed circuit board. I use double-side printed circuit board on electronic projects, and I use this burr to create round spaces of no copper, (spot faces), on the component side where the lead holes are located. This allows the component side of the board to remain a ground plain, or shield, while allowing the leads to pass through the holes, and insulating them from that sides foil. This works great for it, since it is end cutting, and can be used in a small Dremel type plunge router setup to perform the job quickly. ## Features - Dremel's versatile and simple-to-use carving bits make it easy to express your creativity. - The disc shape of the Carving bit can be used to make channel cuts while the accessory tip allows for side cuts. - Carving bits work well for detailed material removal in applications like shaping, carving, engraving, hollowing, precision cutting, grooving, slotting, inlaying, making tapered holes or freehand routing. - Use on soft metals, plastics, and woods especially on curved surfaces - For use with rotary tools that can accommodate a 1/8" shank size ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004UDGP | | Best Sellers Rank | #58,464 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #36 in Power Rotary Tool Attachments | | Brand | Dremel | | Brand Name | Dremel | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,987 Reviews | | Cut Type | Groove cut, Straight Cut | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00080596001995 | | Included Components | 3/8" High Speed Cutter Flat Wheel Bit | | Item Type Name | Dremel 199 Rotary Tool Accessory Carving Bit- Perfect for Wood, Plastic, and Soft Metals | | Item Weight | 5 Grams | | Manufacturer | Dremel | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model | 199 | | Number of Flutes | 1 | | Part Number | 3317 | | Size | 3/8 in | | Size Name | 3/8 in | | UPC | 080596001995 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Size:** 3/8 in - **Material:** Metal - **Brand:** Dremel - **Item Weight:** 5 Grams - **Cut Type:** Groove cut, Straight Cut ## Images ![Dremel 199 Rotary Tool Accessory Carving Bit- Perfect for Wood, Plastic, and Soft Metals - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/318ataM+hSL.jpg) ![Dremel 199 Rotary Tool Accessory Carving Bit- Perfect for Wood, Plastic, and Soft Metals - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618QzB4BmsL.jpg) ![Dremel 199 Rotary Tool Accessory Carving Bit- Perfect for Wood, Plastic, and Soft Metals - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Y0Lbuh0pL.jpg) ![Dremel 199 Rotary Tool Accessory Carving Bit- Perfect for Wood, Plastic, and Soft Metals - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XgMg-9WDL.jpg) ![Dremel 199 Rotary Tool Accessory Carving Bit- Perfect for Wood, Plastic, and Soft Metals - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21yYfzEq2VL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They're all good...if they're 'Dremel'. *by B***E on January 1, 2013* This is almost a no brainer, but just in case...Dremel makes a number of sizes and shapes and so do other makers.
