Rotary Tool Recommendation

[Trokair]

 

Any recommendations and tips for a hobby dremel/rotary tool/die grinder or whatever they are called.

 

So far in my conversion work in this hobby I have used blades, sandpaper/files, green stuff/milliput and sometimes polycement glue (to soften or melt/blend) to remove, alter or add to plastic bits ad part of the conversion. However there is a project I am thinking of that would require removal of some details from a tight inwards facing curve and I don’t think I can do that with the tools and skills I have.

 

Not sure if one of these rotary tools would work or if I just have to get extra careful with some sandpaper wrapped around some wire bent to the right shaper.   

 

So any recommendations on what has worked for you?

My Dremel is fantastic...

 

 

Whatever tool you choose, take one with adjustable chuck. 

 

BTW I have been told that Parkside can be quite OK for a budget. I have other tools from this brand and they are good.

If you have a dremel, you might look into acquiring a tapered grinding bit. Something this might be useful for what you're describing. I've never tried working on plastic with these myself, but I think starting off on low revs and working slowly would be advisable, removing small amount of material on each pass. Otherwise you might try a grinding or engraving bit with a very fine point/tip if it's very fine detail clean-up you're looking to achieve.
