Micromotor Carvers
General Micromotor Facts
Q. How is a micro-motor carver different from a rotary tool such as a Dremel?
A. Micro-motor carvers have a flexible cord instead of using a flexshaft, making the handpiece easier to maneuver amd more comfortable to hold. A Dremel tool is heavy, and heat from the motor will become uncomfortable very quickly. Even with an added flexshaft, a Dremel tool is cumbersome in comparison to a micromotor handpiece and cord. Miicromotor tools have a bit less power than a Dremel, but they have more speed.
Q: Can I still use the burs that I already bought for my Dremel tool?
A: Yes, definitely. These Microcarvers come with a 1/8" collet, which is the same size as most Dremel and other brands of carving burs. These tools come with a 3/32" adapter that slides right into the existing collet for quick changes to smaller shank burs. (Optional 1/16" collets for dental burs are also available as an added accessory.)
Q: Do I need a tool hanger?
A: No - these tools have a base unit that sits on the tabletop (or clips on your belt in the case of the portable micromotor tool). They have an attached tool holster or a tabletop stand for the handpiece. The base unit is small and compact and easy to transport for use in classes.
Q: Is this tool powerful enough to carve gourds?
A: While the micromotor carvers have slightly less power than heftier rotary tools, it is more than adequate for gourd carving. When using large headed burs, the tool may be strained by heavy duty carving. The tool will automatically switch off if you overload it, but can be reset and run as normal after a short cooling off period. Try to avoid excessive "lugging down". Use lighter pressure.
Q: I have arthritic hands and my hands are small. Will this tool work for me?
A: The true advantage of this type of tool is the lightweight handpiece and flexible cord. These features allow you to hold the tool comfortably for an extended period of time. The handpiece and flex cord make it possible to do hours of carving with less hand fatigue.
