I am thinking about getting this attachment for my Dremel to carve letters into wood. Does anyone have experience using this attachment on wood?

I Haven't used it on wood. But, Is extremely user-friendly and very versatile. As long as you have a pattern to follow while you're cutting you can't go wrong.

I'm using it on hard-wood, where it's flawless. That said, given the design, I would think that it would work well on just about anything.

If the dremel has been working for you, this will work just fine. Be careful that you apply proper consistent pressure.

I used mine for pine moldings and it worked very well. For softer wood I might use a saw with finer teeth, but the included saw may be fine for balsa.

Maybe. This thing is much weaker than I expected. Tip extremely small. Might be better off using a Dremel tip.

I like it and I use the gauge to file the teeth on my saw chain. I took a bit to get use to it but now that I have mastered it, I am happy with it. I have not used it to file the rakers mainly because it does not work well for that or I don't understand how??? In my opinion the use for the teeth is a good deal. I don't like free hand filing and I have use several other jigs and gauges. They all work fairly well but for the cost this one is a good deal in my opinion. You should know I am not a professional sawyer but I have made money running a chainsaw doing precommercial thinning, slashing and building fire line on active fires including falling snags so I do have some experience. Good luck!

The saw has relatively fine teeth and makes a nice neat cut. It should cut the wood very well. One big watch-out I would add is that the saw is very high temper hard teeth. If you hit any iron or steel in the cut it will ruin the teeth completely. I made a mistake and hit a nail with the saw and the teeth of the saw completely broke off. Some cheaper saws of another style might just get dull, but these very hard teeth broke off. This means that the saw will cut hard woods very well, but if you hit iron, it will ruin the blade and not cut at all.

Mark I will answer your question, though as I have in the past with no avail as Amazon often will not print my very to the point, concise, answers. Perhaps they dislike my candor or honesty, regardless, like nearly all products with the name Dremel on the side, it is very overpriced and the quality is amazingly poor. Yes, this will make a groove in a small channel, but the depth you set it to will be off by 1/5 - 1/4 of an inch regardless of how much effort you put into trying to get this -typical- Dremel accessory to function as it should, as it could but does not. I fabricate polymers almost daily and stopped using Dremel products. How can you justify a 99$ rotary tool? It is a motor, with a place to attach bits... Tools do not get much more simple, I digress. In summation, if you need a beating headache and have money to waste, this is perfect for your needs. Dremel, please invest some effort in your tools, my "new" Wen was 29$ and has been running for longer than any of yours. Put the faith back into American made, stop coasting by with your name only.

I have not used it for that but I imagine it would work great. Works very well on chisels and lathe tools.

I wouldn't use the word "cutter" when describing this tool. It's a router with a burr in it. it will G R I N D beautifully. I use Dremels and B & D rotary tools to do my wood carving but I would consider a different tool if I wanted to C U T.

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

With my Dremel 670 Mini Saw Attachment the drive adapter was already on the shaft inside the black tightening knob and the actual saw blade screw was already screwed into drive shaft where you attach the saw blade. My mini saw has been in constant use for the last two months and that darn saw still cuts like new! I am cutting Bass wood for architectural scale models and it cuts that stuff like nothing! The adapter, screw and saw blade were all included with my Dremel 670 Mini Saw Attachment clear plastic container.

I myself would not use these Dremel bits with a drill. They weren't made or intended for a drill. Otherwise I think that is how they would advertise. These bits and a drill, electric or battery....I think is a bad idea. Get a real Dremel tool. Save yourself a lot of hassles or unforeseen accedent in the end. Thx SF-P

As I understand it this a tool intended to used on relatively soft materials such as wood or platic. Not on heavy gage steel or ceramics for instance. As such you will have no problem with the duration or performance of the tools. On their availability, so far Amazon has proven to be a good and reliable source, although many Sears storees do carry them. I hope this helps you makeup your mind about this tool.

I love the wovel, it is an excellent tool...HOWEVER...I think the ice attachment is a bad idea. The way my wovel is put together (bent steel handles attached at the stem by bolts) caused me to break a handle at the bolts when using the ice tool attachments...unless they have changed the way the handle attaches, like I suggested in 2009, using the attachment will eventually break one or both handles.

I think that most, if not all, of the Dremel attachments should work. I have a Dremel attachments and all of them work. I would recommend switching to a keyless chuck instead of the collet that comes with the Black and Decker. A keyless chuck will allow you to use things that are smaller than the 1/8 inch collet, unless you just want to buy a set of collets. Hope that this helps.

I've never tried, but this should work fine with a cutting board. Do you know what kind of wood it is? Cutting boards are often hard woods. I have used this tool on maple with no problem.
