How much metal do you have to remove?
I dont use Dremel, I use Mastercrap (the same thing as Dremel) and nothing really worked well.
Remember Dremel is hobby craft, not manly steel metal works.
Dremel/Mastercraft rotary tool bits
Stones wear out
Small circle sanders are good for light use
The steel grinder bits overheat and dull quickly when pushed taking off lots of metal.
Only really good for light, hobby use, not taking out chunks of metal.

The only thing that works well is what mechanic garages and fab shops use, its a larger steel bit used with air rotary. They are pretty expensive, not like the little bits from Dremel.
Not a bad price at Walmart, but what I was talking about is they look like this.

Could try these if they fit your dremel

They probably sell the same cheap junk as Princess Auto in Canada which is good for limited use, not long lasting, can't use and abuse.

Hi guys
Not sure if this question is in the correct place.
It is bike related somewhat.
What are some of the best dremel bits you would suggest for grinding away at steel and other metals? I have lots of cutting wheels but I need small tipped bits for smaller spaces etc.
Thanks!
