The only substance harder than tungsten carbide is diamond. Dremel Tungsten Carbide Carving Bits are ideal for shaping, smoothing or removing material from especially hard substances, like cast iron, nonferrous metals and hard woods. The 1/8 In. Tungsten Carbide Carving Bit can be used in virtually any Dremel rotary tool.
- Shapes, smooths or grinds especially hard materials including: hardened steel, stainless steel, cast iron, nonferrous metals, fired ceramics, plastics and hard woods
- High-speed bit made of tungsten carbide, the hardest material next to diamonds
- Use higher speeds for hard woods, slower speeds for metals and very slow speeds for plastics
- Use the sides of the bit (rather than the tip) for effective cutting

Works great and fast cutting. A good add to my collection of bits

Works great for drilling and small machining needs.

the bits work ok on wood. they are perfect to get into tight spaces and make odd cuts. but they do dull quickly and make a horrible stink with smoke and burn the edge. so i guess not the greatest way to make longer cuts. plus dremel is difficult to control.

I used this bit on a Dremel rotary tool to enlarge a hole in a fiberglass shower wall so I could replace a two handle faucet with a single handle one and a remodel plate. It was easier to control when moved in a clockwise direction. I used the Dremel guide to control the depth and stabilize the cutter. A pilot hole or existing opening is needed when starting the cut.

The Dremel 1/8 in. Rotary tool accessory works great.

Works great in my Dremel

This bit did exactly what I wanted. Thanks to it’s size, I was able to get it into the super tight space that a bit for a die grinder wouldn’t fit.

This worked well on the stainless steel console panel on my boat. For stainless steel work you gotta pay for the right bits.

Dremel has provided me this product in exchange for an honest review.I tried this out on some bone and on some Brazilian cherry wood. It worked well on the bone. It was only fair on the Brazilian cherry; but then a lot of tools don’t work well on that. With some adjustments to the speed I kept the burning of the work down.

Was used to cut a seized bearing outer race by making one cut through and collapsing the old bearing. Cut nicely. Hopefully is still good for another use.

I used it to easily enlarge a cast iron hole. Bit did not break or dull.

I found a way to break 11/2” of drill bit in 2” of steel. Looked at “rescue bits” and then saw this for $8 and on the shelf @ Home D, figured it was worth a try. It took some time but I was able to cut out the steel and the cobalt drill bit while still maintaining reasonable integrity of the hole. This is one sharp, tough little bit and it saved my butt. Turns the steel into a fine powder. Like any cutting burr it did occasionally do the “very rapid ring around the rosie” routine but that was probably more the limp wristed user than the bit. After all that cutting the bit is in the Dremel box ready for another challenge. Photo shows the hole nearing half depth that I had to grind out. I was impressed.

This did exactly what I needed it to do which was cut a shape in a steel flat bar. It saved me hours of cutting that I would have otherwise had to do with a hacksaw, vice grip, and several other tools not quite right for the job.

Just the ticket for hardened steel. The only other burr that cuts hardened knife blade steel is diamond and they are slow and wear out quickly. This carbide burr cuts much faster (still slow in hr58 ish) but at least it moves some metal. Still feels as sharp as it started out which surprised me.

Not a diamond cut tool but close

Powerful well equipped with accessories.

Great product, worked like expected.

This bit is perfect for getting into tight spaces where you need to remove a lot of material FAST!!!

We initially bought one of these to cut off two overtorqued nuts. The bit cut one but broke on the second. We bought two more, although we finished the job with the second bit.
