Went to B&Q tofay to buy a dremmel to do a bit of metal polishing on hard to reach parts on my bike.
I bought one that was about £60 and came with a little polishing kit, perfect.
However it came with a few other attachments, BUT, i have absolutely no idea what they're for & there's no instruction manual to tell me what's what!
Is there anywhere on the net i can find out what each bit does?

Its a bit far, going for a Dremel, no? I'd have thought a coat hanger was perfectly adequate :getscoat:

I bought a cheap generic thing, and am having enormous fun guessing which bit does what hehe

I bought a LIDL/ALDI one and it has a bigger motor than a dremel and was less than 2/5 of the cost. I have done a few heads with it as well as loads of other stuff.

Look out for these as they are grrrrrrrrrrreat!

* Ideal for cutting, grooving and trimming all kinds of metal. May also be used on other materials-including thin wood, plastics and ceramics.
* Cut-off wheels make it easy to cut bolts or screws or make slots in rusted or stripped bolts and screws for removal with a screwdriver.

User Tips

* The cut-off wheel cuts only along its edge. Do not attempt to sand or cut curved holes with them.
* Secure objects to a stable surface while working.
* Hold the tool so that the wheel is at a perpendicular angle to the material being cut.
* Keep a light touch, as the wheel will break under too much pressure. If chattering occurs, increase speed.
* Plastics require very slow speeds, because they tend to melt at the contact point. Wood requires low speeds also, always experiment on a scrap first.
