What materials can the Dremel 199 cut?

Soft metals such as copper, brass and nickel, plus plastic and wood. It is not intended for hardened steel or stone.

Will it fit my rotary tool?

It has a standard 1/8 inch shank and fits Dremel rotary tools and most other rotary tools with a matching collet.

What is the cutting diameter?

The head is 3/8 inch across, which suits grooves, slots and hollowing rather than the finest lines.

How is it different from a carbide bit?

High-speed steel takes a keener edge and leaves a cleaner finish in wood and soft metal, but it dulls faster on hard materials than carbide.

What comes in the box?

One Dremel 199 carving bit. No spare or storage case is included.

Can it cut a slot through brass sheet?

Yes. Owners report clean slots in copper, nickel and brass up to 1/4 inch thick.
