Could anyone advise me on the best rotay attachments I should buy?
The current ones that came with my rotary tools are pants.
I refuse to use it until I've got better attachments, since a cutting disc exploded in me face while cutting(melting) perspects. had only just fitted the attachment and it was perfectly straigh with no wobble.
left me with a nice little scratch on the center of my nose after a chuck hit me..
From now on I'll use some goggles!
The rotary tool itself seems a good quality.
The best attachments?
Well that depends on what you are doing. There are many different attachments available.
See this thread for some of them.
For cutting wheels I find the reinforced 1" Dremel discs to work well and not break like the cheapo ones.
I kind of ment that best quality attachments as a whole.
I suppose the cutting discs, drinding stones and sanding tools would be most important for me.
Idealy, I'd like to know the brands you guy know and trust.
On the whole Dremel branded attachments I've found the best, though I do tend to buy cheap as well.
Dremel brand. The most popular rotary tool brand ever.
Like Bucko said, the reinforced cutting disks are the best (besides diamond coated). They are big, don't break easily, and work very well.
don't get one of these! Dremel EZ Lock Mandrel!
i bought one and they are very expensive and they break much easier than the standard one!
i would get a dremel kit since it will have tons of attachments for lots off different jobs. i think moderate kits go for 50 but not sure. for the cutting disc's i've never used a diamond one but i like the reinforced ones the best, i still use the cheap disc's for plastic or something messy.
i would like to try those but i don't mind spending a bit more time loading a new one. and from what you said i for sure won't try them.Quote:

It depends, at 5.000-12.000 rpm mine is very quit. You can talk while working, if you talk a bit louder. Higher than 12.000 rpm is kind of loud. never got over 20.000 till now so I can't say something about the rpm's above 20.000.
yeah i have a Porter Cable Cutout Tool that gets 28,000 rpm
well mine gets loud when there is load ( just turning it on without cutting or anything) i belive its 5000-30 or 35 thousand). but ya its pretty loud, i never wear ear protection though as its not that loud.
I have a Clarke one - good old Britsh one (i think)
not sure what spec the Dremel ones are but this goes up to 35,000rpm not too loud untill you get past 20,000 ish. Theres not a lot of need to go that high though I find.
