How to Use My Worksmith Rotary Tool

The Worksmith rotary tool was similar to those made by Dremel. In fact, Worksmith rotary tool attachments also fit on Dremel tools and Dremel attachments could be used on Worksmith rotary tools. The rotary tool uses a number of different heads, all with unique functions for different purposes ranging from grinding speaker brackets to cutting or sanding jobs in tight-to-reach areas. Mastering the art of using all the different rotary tool heads will come over time. However, familiarizing yourself with the basic function and use of the tool only takes an hour or two.
