Roy Noras Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) 'reHi I just wondering if someone had any experience on using this tool for sanding/drilling plastic and resin? Is the RPM low enough to avoid melting the plastic when you're using e.g. sanding disks? (-: Roy Edited December 31, 2018 by Roy Noras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi Roy, I've been using a couple of Dremel tools (with the flexible shaft) for over 10 years. They work great for sanding and drilling plastic and resin. In my opinion it's not the high rpm that causes the melting, it's the amount of pressure that you apply. For drilling I apply just a little pressure and let the drillbit do it's job. For sanding I never let the sanding tool stay in contact with plastic / resin for more then a few seconds. HTH Sincerely Pascal Roy Noras 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
