Makerspace

The Makerspace has (3) Dremel 200 Series that are available for use. This page is a guide for using the Dremel 200s. There is no workshop required to work with these tools. 

Getting Started:

• Safety glasses and gloves are both required when working with a Dremel! 
• Use a piece of wood on top of the table while working to protect the workspace. 
• Practice caution when using a cut-off wheel to ensure the attachment does not break. Only cut with the edge of the wheel. 

Operating a Dremel 200.

• To attach a new bit to the Dremel, press the small silver button while twisting the housing clockwise. The opposite will lock a new bit into place.  

• Once plugged in, moving the blue switch to the middle turns the Dremel on at 15,000-rpm setting and moving the switch to the end turns on the 30,000-rpm setting.  

• Attaching different tips to the Mandrel requires twisting the screw end into the bit. To use different attachments with the Rotary Tool Mandrel, unscrew the top and insert the attachment between the screw and body, tightly securing the screw back on. 

• Do not forgot safety glasses and gloves!
