Other Accessories You Can Use With The Dremel...

Whilst many of the accessories included with the Dremel kit are very useful - they are more aimed at the DIY market. We sell the following range of accessories for sanding, carving, engraving, cleaning and polishing metal which will lend themselves well to more specific aspects of jewellery making.

Polishing mops, wheels & points - are great for quickly polishing jewellery if you don't have a bench polisher. They are also perfect for getting into those awkward to polish shapes. Choose from bristle wheel, felt wheel, felt point, and soft polishing mop. Use with tripoli and rouge.

Silicone Polishers - these are impregnated with fast cutting silicone carbide abrasives for excellent polishing results. We stock these in wheel, knife edge and in cylinder shape which are available in four different grades for different levels of polishing. Use these with our mandrels for silicone polishers.

Burrs - burrs are used for adjusting stone setting depths, bezels, cutting grooves in metal and much more. Our best selling burrs are the stone setting burr and cup burr.
