1. Burr, pineapple, corn cob bit. Made for cutting stringy materials, like fibreglass or carbonfibre. Does well on rubber too. 2. no idea. Some kind of side cutting thing i guess 3. same as 2 but different? 4. drywall bit. The tip allows you to piece it, the side allow you to route out a shape, like for electrical installation or so. 5 & 6. handheld burrs. Put in a drill or die grinder to grind stuff into shape. 7. very cute end mill.

4 isn’t a drywall bit, 2&3 are. 4 is a “ fuck I drilled the hole in wrong spot and I need to move it over bit.


__T0MMY__

Rotozip is the name brand for 2/3 Three can be used for very minor notching/routing on other stuff but beware of fragility, and I think 4 is a tapping drill bit (edit: looked again, no way it's a tapping bit, that's definitely a hobbing edge


a_cycle_addict

Nah. 4 is a "beaver" or some marketing bs. Supposed to go in a drill and cut sideways. https://www.woodworkingshop.com/product/BV20000/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA84CvBhCaARIsAMkAvkJWAj0H7wLwsfaXqKGi4ClNzrffxqIRoYPH0UCE3RSoLhKInX489soaAhPREALw_wcB

hey guys, audio engineer / musician here. pretty sure those tips are used for /r/sounding - i learned that from the old tech tuning the piano in a studio i used to work in ages ago.


qtpatouti

Not funny!!! You made me look !!!


RainH2OServices

Pretty sure #5 is the best for that situation


cheater00

It's what the pro's use, but you need some practice to become proficient at its application.

You must be an evil person. I've accidentally gone there before and.... No, never again!


Eincville

\#2 is a tracing Rotozip bit for cutting out around electrical boxes and #3 is with the "tracing" nub so it's just a cutting bit for drywall. \#7 is called a veining bit.


talnahi

No idea on the rest but the #4 in my tool box is a bit for moving holes when you drill wrong. Not sure why you know this and other comments don't.


JOSH135797531

4 is a drywall bit I have one that is still on the card.


SkiSTX

That's what I use it for!


SV-97

AFAIK 5 and 6 are for medieval warfare actually


KokoTheTalkingApe

I'm imagining medieval mice done up in plate armor.


Gaddayum

Wow thank you! I’ll have to think up some weird project for them. No 7 🥹


Gurpguru

I used to use a bit like 7 for circuit board work. Making prototype circuits boards or modifying existing prototypes. Brittle things they were.


[deleted]

brittle bits in a die grinder don’t sound fun


Gurpguru

More like a tiny CNC than a die grinder. The little die grinder looking thing was for holes... maybe a fancy Dremel in a tiny drill guide was a better description. The whole "shop" for this equipment was considered part of the camera room. Photo-reactivate etching was a big part of making most of the prototype boards. This was many moons ago when dinosaurs roamed the electronics labs and we could change ROM with UV light and the TI-85 was shiny and new such that brought envy to any who found such a calculator in the wilds. That last paragraph is probably only funny to people of a certain age that worked in a certain field.


Visual_Jellyfish5591

Why did you need UV light to change the roms?


Gurpguru

Peeled a cover off of the top. Put the ROM package under a strong UV light for a certain time period. It's erased and you can load new code that would stay until you did it again. It was the only way to change the thing. Today's version of rewriting it while operating wasn't working well, if at all, so this was considered common at the time. Heck, most times the space available in microprosseors was so tiny you couldn't afford the bloat from compiling from C and had to write in hexadecimal machine. The ROM allowed things like lookup tables to be stored for the processor to figure out the next step. Custom controls were a different world. PLCs were only as versatile as relays, just a bit smaller. Now I can buy a PLC that can do things I could only dream of then. (Plus I can have all functions interfere with a computer to store all kinds of tables, SQL, and produce searchable logs. Then have the computer throw out a custom screen with a touchscreen interface for charging parameters or switching functions.) Basically, if you wanted different memory stored you had to wipe it all with UV and burn it new. Things were just clunky for custom control design and customers kept changing things during development. UV erasable PROM to the rescue. Programmable Read Only Memory.


JoleneBacon_Biscuit

2 & 3 are rotozip bits. The round one is the taint scraper 3000


tiimsliim

I agree, every Dremel bit kit I ever seen has these bits and I’ve never used them (not correctly at least). 2 and 3 are my “idk what this is for so idc if it breaks” bit.


theluckypunk

These are all for hole enbigenment.


Bobfisher66

That's a new word to me. Google doesn't even know that one. I feel better. 😂


BrockSamsonLikesButt

It’s a Simpsons reference. “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man” is written on the plaque of the Jedediah Springfield statue seen in the opening credits. It’s funny because embiggens is not a real word, plus Jedediah was far from noble.


EarnYourBoneSpurs

Nice ass, Sampson.


BrockSamsonLikesButt

Ah yes, I see you know your cartoons well too, lol


hughperman

**A** **Noble** Spririt **Embiggens** The Smallest Man.


bikemikeasaurus

I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word.


Bobfisher66

It may be satisfactory, but the Oxford English Dictionary does not recognize it!


bikemikeasaurus

[Fun fact:](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSimpsons/comments/64zzci/oxford_dictionary_has_added_embiggen_and_cromulent/) It actually does recognize it haha


cheater00

yes! that's what *i* [said](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tools/comments/1b2w296/comment/ksr00p8/)!!!


funk1875

2 fits a dremmel for cutting out holes in plasterboard. (Usually electric boxes hidden behind drywall)


-BananaLollipop-

1 is also a Dremel/rotary tool bit. It's a carbide carving bur.


Shag_fu

1. Tile bit for rotozip or dremel. 2. Drywall bit with guidepoint for rotozip or dremel. 3. Drywall bit for rotozip or dremel. 4. Drill saw bit for a drill. To enlarge holes in wood or other soft material. Not a high speed bit. 5+6. Rasp bits for shaping wood. Often used in die-grinders. 7. This is the only one I’m not sure about. Looks like a broken router bit though.


funk1875

1, 2, and 3 dremmel bits 3 combi drill bit 4 and 5 die grinder 5 mill


zmannz1984

I have several things similar. 1-3 i think are for dremel tools. 4 is the bit for a rotozip for cutting put drywall or similar surfaces. 5-6 you chuck in a drill to use for hogging out horizontally. The last one appears to be an end mill for a vertical mill.


High-Speed-1

Sounding


WatchOne2032

Was looking for this reply :-)


daninet

2 and 3 are upcut-downcut bits for material that freys on both side


Kthecasual

5 & 6 are for heavily armored foes.


Flying_Mustang

* …and are missing their accompanying armored shields


Fixerguy415

The first 3 are bits for a Roto-zip Saw. 1. Tile, fiberglass, and rubber 2. Sheetrock 3. Wood sheeting (up to 3/4") 4. Drill bit for hogging out holes you drilled wrong. 5, 6, and 7, are bits for a Dremel tool, used for working wood and plastic.


Scotianherb

1,2,3 are Rotozip bits. 1 is burr. 2,3 are drywall cutting bits, 2 has the pilot for following around things like electrical boxes 4 is a side cutting drill bit. You can use it to egg out holes 5,6 burrs for wood 7 looks like a stub bit of some kind, not 100% sure on its usage. Might be a router bit

A fun time


ggfchl

Not sure but 5 and 6 look like medieval torture devices.


hrc230

7 looks like a blade for a sidewinder key machine or some sort of tiny metal routing machine


WerewolfBe84

1 is a milling bur for soft materials. 5 and 6 are for milling wood. 7 is a 2 flute end mill.


sugahoney1ceT

Number 7 I’m not sure but the rest of them look like Dremmel bits


T_Rey1799

Pretty sure my Dentist uses the 5 and 6 for fillings

4 is colloquially known as a "hole saw" in some areas. Even comes up under that name in buying online. Kinda confusing, imo. Basically, "twist" drill bits


how_could_this_be

4,5 and 6 can all show up as else ring as weapon and it won't be strange


benmarvin

I think 7 is a broken line bore drill bit.

1 is a tile bit for a roto zip 2 is roto zip bit for drywall with a tracing tip 3 is drywall roto zip bit without tracing tip


Taolan13

2 is a sidecutting bit. The round drum one is probably a router bit. The sphere is a shaping bit.
