Hey all, just wondering if someone could recommend what attachments they find most useful of a dremil and/or diegrinder?

Thanks!!

I would suggest you use the search function. I have contributed to at least 2 topics covering dremels and die grinders and there have been a lot more.

Samari . Com

Or Graeme potters bonsai site. Both are very expensive but very good

Thanks guys! I've looked at Graeme's stuff, and it is expensive, but the parts that came with my dremil really struggles with the work I was doing on an olive, so I think it'll be worth the investment.

If you need to remove any real an=mount of wood, you need serious carving tools

I have made my own and are happy with them so do a search for carving tool by Bretts and you will find the info for them

I have some of the bits from Graeme's in the UK and can not fault them good quality and the cutting cups can be rotated so they last quite a long time, you can also buy just replacement cutting cups, I have two quite large ones that I use for initial carving with a compressor and a die grinder and two smaller ones for the dremel which are for finer detail and finishing work, these were the ones I used on the Claret top rework which I recently posted
