Understanding Grinding Versus Sharpening
What is the difference between grinding vs sharpening? When grinding, you’re smoothing over rough areas or sharp edges, aiming to get a sleek finish. When sharpening, you’re doing the exact opposite: your aim is to create a thin point or a sharp edge. Dremel’s grinding and sharpening tools help you with both activities, whether you’re deburring metal after cutting it, smoothing welded joints or sharpening secateurs. You can use these tools on glass, ceramics, stone, and porcelain too.
Choose the Right Grinding and Sharpening Accessories
For every job there’s a Dremel accessory, choosing the right one will put you on the best starting path. For hard, non-ferrous materials such as glass, stone, ceramics, and porcelain, Dremel’s green silicon carbide grinding stones are the way to go. They’re highly durable and perfect for removing stilt marks on ceramics or engraving glass. Dremel’s orange aluminum oxide grinding stones cover virtually all your grinding needs, from sharpening screwdrivers to removing flash from metal castings. They can be used on most materials, including stainless steel.
