Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Dremel 9933 Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutter: Precision at its Finest! by Adam Boesel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yes, it cuts tropical hardwood! =:-D

- This works much better than the 115 cutter for my purpose, which cuts a 1/8" edge" in 1/4" to 5/16" hardwood - most of the time tropical hardwood. With some emphasis on the 'hard' part! Well of course the 115 is *described* as for 'soft' materials and I've *looked at* serrated tungsten carbide cutters that are described as 'for hard materials' but I need a larger cutting head. and especially something with a cutting surface on the flat end, not just the sides. - I mounted my dremel vertically in my dremel workstation at the height i need to make the lip. (The tree is upside down for this - I have to follow the lines I draw on the tree, so I don't use a mini milling table.) - Many "mini teeth" on it are sharp. enough to bite into hard wood, they're big enough not to clog, BUT small enough not to "stick" to particularly hard and/or nooks and crannies in the wood fibers. The 115 cutter has grooves and they will grab those areas, literally grab the wood and throw it out of my hands unless I have a choke hold on it the whole time, which I just can't do. I bought what was described as a double cut carbide bit (diamond pattern, not straight flutes) and it did nothing but burn the wood. - But this cutter 9933 WORKS! - There *is* a technique for doing this, just to be sure - it's a Dremel tool after all, not an industrial super router ;) It will also smoke the wood and start burning if it stays in one place for too long, and that's it minimum Dremel speed! Also, if the wood is pushed in *too* hard, it will "choke" where the Dremel tool can't rotate. But with patience and the smooth movement of wood, that little ridge definitely does what I want, HOORAY!
