- Use light, steady passes for improved control, smoother shaping and better finish quality.
- Always match the speed setting to the material being worked on.
Pro Tips
- Use the ball cutter when you need a smooth rounded profile rather than a flat-bottom groove or sharp edge.
- For cleaner carving, make several shallow passes and build the shape gradually instead of forcing a deep cut.
- Keep the rotary tool moving smoothly to reduce heat build-up, burn marks on wood or melting on plastic.
- Test the cutter on a scrap piece first to confirm the shape, depth and finish before working on the final piece.
How to Use
- Make sure the rotary tool is switched off and unplugged, or remove the battery before fitting the cutter.
- Insert the 3.2mm shank into the correct collet.
- Tighten the collet securely and check that the cutter is seated straight.
- Select the correct speed range for the material being worked on.
- Hold the rotary tool firmly and bring the cutter gently into contact with the workpiece.
- Use light, controlled passes and avoid forcing the cutter into the material.
- Switch off the tool and allow the cutter to stop completely before placing the tool down or changing accessories.
Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when using rotary tools and cutting accessories.
- Wear suitable gloves where appropriate and keep hands clear of the rotating cutter.
- Always use the correct tool, collet and speed setting for the job.
- Make sure the cutter is properly secured before switching on the rotary tool.
- Do not force the cutter into the material. Let the tool speed and cutter profile do the work.
- Secure the workpiece before cutting, carving, shaping or engraving.
