planing on installing a carving area in classroom on a bench mounted to the wall, going to have dremel mounted to the wall with a cord to work with. lights, wood mallets, saws, chip tools, scrapers, sanding blocks, files, sandpaper, wood burners......

what tips would be helpfull for the dremel carving?

source of plenty of wood burner tips?

source of cheap dremel sander drums?

what are some plans that would be usefull for some shop built clamping/ dust removing accessories?



probably will build/mount this to the bottom of a shelf just so i can have a blower suck away dust.

I'd rethink using a dremel for carving. I bought a dremel for my wife to carve with and it died after maybe ten hours of use.

Same happened to my dad. Look into a heavier duty unit .
