Dremel 108 Engraving Cutter, Gray

In my photo, the Dremel bit on the left is identical to the one shown in the advertisement. br>br>What was delivered is the section on the right in my photo. br>br>The one advertised has a much longer taper, a thinner "neck," and a smaller head, all of which make cutting deeper into material and even making undercuts for inlay much easier. (It's also a quarter inch longer than the one that came with it. ) ) The one that was delivered has a short, steep taper that ends in a larger head, making those things a lot more difficult - It is not impossible to achieve - to do. br>br>It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it wasn't worth the effort to return.

*UPDATE 12/30/20*
I've burned through two more bits in about 3 hours of total use since writing my last review, so I'm deducting a star. Again, these are fine while they last, but with each new order, the window appears to be shrinking. I'm no longer convinced that these are genuine Dremel bits, so I'm going to buy my next set directly from Dremel's website — I strongly advise you to do the same, because these are not worth the money.
- br>I do wood engraving, and the 108 is my go-to tool for smaller, more detailed work. It's great for getting the precise results I need, but when they get dull, they get REALLY dull, and these seem to lose their edge very quickly. I purchased a replacement in September, then had to purchase another in December, and now I require yet another. And when I'm doing an engraving, I don't use them very often—if I had to guess, the last two I bought lasted for about 10 hours of actual use before they wore out. Overall, it's great while it's still functional, but the durability is severely lacking.

Isn't that not what I had in mind? I bought this along with a dremel, 105 bit, and one of Dremel's rotating shaft add-ons (which I highly recommend). br>But I'm getting ahead of myself. This 108 bit is absolutely fantastic. This allows me to do a lot of micro carvings and details, which I do a lot of. I wasn't aware that the tip was squared because the product pictures didn't show it in as much detail as I had expected. More triangled, to be precise. The tip is sharp and flat, and it tapers down to the shank. I took away a star for the lack of detail on that, and I tried to better show the tip details for anyone else who is blind (or too busy to find their high school, low prescription glasses that you only need once in a while). Things happen in life). br>Because I'm not a fan of change, I'm expecting to dislike it. When I place an order, I have a preconceived notion of what I will receive, and this was not it. It appeals to me in a certain way. Not for the same details I had hoped to use it for, but I believe that once I get past the learning curve, this will make an excellent outline and fine, angel hair-like hair. Details, for example. br>The price is comparable to the rest of the store. That's pretty cool, especially when you consider how much money you'll save on gas because of Prime's free shipping. Despite the fact that the Dremel brand is notoriously more expensive than many off-brand alternatives, it is unnecessary. I've only found one brand of super small bits that is both high-quality and affordable. And now I can't seem to find them. Other than that, basic bits, grinding stone bits, polishing bits, and larger bits are available. However, they are off-brand, and there are usually only minor differences. I buy name brand bits for super small bits because they last a little longer and are often hard to find in Dremel's bit sets, which often include a lot of stuff I don't use. So, for me, it was well worth it. br>br>These bits will fit almost any rotary tool or rotating shaft set up, regardless of brand; only a few brands have different ends, but they make collettes to attach them that usually come with almost any off brand as they expect their users to align with the "Dremel" branded tips. The price is extremely low. At times, it's well worth it. br>br>I'll mention that it arrived two days after it was supposed to, which is an Amazon issue rather than a product issue. Amazon was contacted, and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. However, it enhanced the product's overall experience.

So the cutter head is the right size for me, and the 1/8th-inch shaft doesn't bother me. The cutter head, however, is slightly longer than the one I had before (which was original equipment from a Dremel tool I bought in the late 1970s! ) So I've used the tool, it's sufficient for my needs, and hopefully I won't break it.

I required a small, well-cutting bit. This is the part that gets the job done. On my cool wooden boxes, I do some fine inlay work. I can undercut the edges and remove material in general with the ball on the end of this bit. The bit had a strong cutting action, but it was simple to control. I intend to purchase additional bits in this style in various diameters.

I attempted to use it as an engraver in my Dremel, but the results were poor. As a result, I put in a lot of practice time with it, at various speeds. It's possible that the results were due to me, but I gave it my all!.

This is a fantastic carving tool.
