Remove material and etch designs into your projects.

Carving and engraving are powerful ways to express yourself and bring your ideas to life. With Dremel, you can transform ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art. From intricate details to bold designs, our tools give you the precision and control to make your vision a reality. 

There are three subcategories within the carving/engraving section. The sub-categories are organized by the depth of the material removed by the accessory. They are also visually differentiated by the shape of the accessory and its diameter.

Engraving is marking or decorating a design onto a surface by cutting grooves into it. Engraving bits are ideal for light material removal. The structure of these bits allows for a clearer line of sight due to the tapered shank leading up to the working head of the accessory.

The diameter of engraving bits ranges from 0,8mm to 2,4mm.

Carving creates a three-dimensional work by sculpting or removing material from a solid. These bits are ideal for more material removal, rather than just the top layers like engraving does. They’re built with a standard shank, which allows for both stability and agility in your carving projects.

The diameter of carving bits ranges from 2mm to 8mm.

Within the carving category Dremel has different carving accessories. These different carving categories come in many different shapes which are arrow, ball, ball nose, cylinder, disc, flame, oval and pear. Each one of these shapes will help you get a different result on the materials. 

The accessories you use should use depends on two factors: the shape and material compatibility.

Power carving is very similar to carving, but it allows a more rapid removal of a larger mass in tougher material such as wood and plastic. These bits are rugged and built for 2x faster material removal. You can recognise these bit on their blue coloured head.
