Rotary tools are great for making small or detailed cuts depending on what accessory you use. An abrasive wheel will easily cut through hard metals, including hardened steel, like when you need to trim the length of bolts and screws. Rotary tools are great for cutting, grooving and trimming all kinds of metal. It can also be use on other materials, including thin wood, plastics and ceramics.
What is sanding and why do we do it? Firstly, sanding can turn an average project into a great one. Wood straight from the mill can be rough, or contain dents and other marks. Wood sanding helps to smooth the wood’s surface. It can also emphasise the beauty of the wood’s natural grain. Sanding is one of the most important steps in determining the end finish and quality of a project.
Over time, some metals will rust. Weathering, oxidation and being subject to moisture are some of the reasons for rust development. Many people will look to throw away tools or objects that have succumbed to rust, as they figure they’re no longer useful anymore. But removing rust quickly can salvage tools or objects that might have otherwise been destined for the bin.
