Cuts into soft/medium wood quickly and grinds edges in a snap. Not the easist thing in the world to cut a straight line with, but it can be done if you go left to right and let the blade creating a starting groove.

Easy to install as well!

I do quite a bit of woodworking and this disk has been great! I also have the one with carbide only on the edges which I thought was fantastic. Now this one has carbide all over= more wood removal.It works great in my wecheer and harbor freight pneumatic rotary tools, and would be great in a dremel. If you are looking for the one "go to" bit for small rotary tools, then this would be it. It hogs, sands, cuts, and just about everything without problems. Dremel makes this one, and another great product very similiar if not better is [...] They sell these here at Amazon also. These you have a choice of grit - 80,120, ect. with dremel there is no option on grit size.
(Note-I only use on wood)

Not usefull for very soft plastics but great for softwoods. OK for harder materials like Teak and Ironwood as well as PC boards but not nearly as useful. Does it all in most plastics and softwoods though.

This was the first time to use this wheel. It is outstanding at cutting and shapping the wood for my lures. It is excellently made.

Good tool for carving/cutting etc... easy to use, very durable. Must have for any wood working. Combine this with the sander that came with the dremel kit and you'll be able to make sophisticated objects with great looking finishes.

I love this thing. absolutely excellent for material removal and shaping in wood. with this and another cutting bit, i found myself randomly making very cool looking wood carvings, something i've never done in any way before. absolutely love this.

onyl reason for 4 stars is the difficulty to cut straight lines. as antoher reviewer said, it can be done, but it's not the ideal use of this tool.
