FAQs
Can I use these discs on steel?
These discs are primarily designed for softer metals like aluminium, brass, and copper, as well as wood and plastic. They are not recommended for hardened steel.
What is the maximum speed allowed?
The set is rated for a maximum of 20,000 RPM.
Does this set include the mandrel?
Yes, the set includes the required 3.2mm mandrel shank.
Can I use these with a standard cordless drill?
Yes, as long as the drill chuck can tighten down onto a 3.2mm (1/8 inch) shank.
How do I know which size to use?
Use smaller discs for tighter curves and precision work; use larger discs for straight cuts or longer distances.
Troubleshooting
Disc wobbling during operation
Ensure the mandrel screw is tightened fully and the disc is perfectly centered on the shank.
Excessive heat build-up
Reduce the feed rate (pressure) and ensure the tool is at the correct RPM for the material being cut.
Disc not cutting efficiently
Check for teeth dulling; if the disc is worn, switch to a fresh disc or ensure you are not using it on material harder than HSS can handle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Comprehensive range of disc sizes in one set
- Compatible with most common rotary tool brands
- Durable HSS material for consistent performance
- Excellent for intricate hobbyist and craft work
- Easy to switch between different disc sizes
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy-duty or thick material cutting
- Mandrel setup requires manual disc changes
- Small diameter discs may wear quickly under high friction
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Unscrew the small retaining screw at the end of the mandrel. Slide the chosen saw disc onto the shank, ensuring it is centered, then replace and tighten the screw firmly.
- Compatibility: The 3.2mm shank is standard for most Dremel-style rotary tools and general-purpose power drills. Ensure your drill chuck or collet can securely grip the 3.2mm diameter.
- Care: To extend the life of your discs, keep them clean from debris and resin buildup. Store them in a dry location to prevent oxidation. If a blade becomes dull, avoid forcing it against the material, as this can cause the disc to shatter or the tool to stall.
