There are several good ways to hold a
Dremel rotary tool. Use the one that gives you the most control for
your task. Or that you feel most comfortable with. One of these will
work for you.
The pencil grip
This grip offers the best control for fine detail work.
The paring knife grip
Use this grip with cutters when making longer, smoother cuts. This grip offers good control for cutting depth.
The golf grip
One and two hands. When you want to keep the tool
parallel to the work surface for sanding or grinding, use the
one-handed grip. Use the two-handed grip every time you use a cut-off
wheel. Cut-off wheels can stick and cause kickback. Two hands offer
better control. Remember, always use a light touch with a rotary tool.
You're just guiding the tool. Let the high speed do all the work.
