About this category
Compact rotary tools are small-form electric tools characterized by a high-speed motor and a slim handgrip body held pen-style. Motion transfers from the motor to a collet that accepts a wide range of accessory bits including small cutting discs, engraving bits, polishing bits, grinding bits, carving bits and fine sanding bits. The bit is changed according to the task: polishing differs from grinding, which differs from engraving, which differs from cutting. These tools are supplied with fixed or variable speed, with variable speed allowing the user to tailor the operating rate to material and bit type. Both corded models connected to the mains and cordless models with batteries are available, and some models include a flexible shaft that separates the motor body from the working handle for improved operator flexibility. Compact rotary tools are used in detailed maintenance, industrial modeling, jewelry, dentistry and hobby work. They are not substitutes for angle grinders or standard drills, because their size and torque level are not suited to heavy-duty work. Rotary tool accessories are excluded from this category as they are supplied separately. Industrial buyers select rotary tool models based on required speed range, collet diameter, flexible shaft availability, duty cycle and site conditions including dust and vibration exposure.
