Handmade hero

Got a D.I.Y. - loving dad? Or are you a creative soul, looking to step up your gift-making game? Either way, Dremel has you covered this Father’s Day. The high-powered and versatile Dremel 4300 rotary tool and its wide range of accessories will make you a firm favourite with Dad.

The centrepiece

Power tools don’t get much more versatile than a hand-held rotary tool. Built with a redesigned airflow system, the Dremel 4300 is the most powerful Dremel on the market, but runs quietly and smoothly. The tool is compatible with all Dremel accessory shank sizes, so you or Dad can jump between sanding, cutting, engraving and carving with ease.

All in the details

The beauty of the Dremel system is that, once you’ve invested in the core tool, there are lots of attachments and accessories for different applications, such as the Micro Kit 733, which has been specially curated for woodwork. The 20-piece kit features tools for carving, drilling and sanding. Giving outdoor timber furniture a refresh? The sanding attachments will help you get into all those tight spots, while the carving accessories allow you to personalise a new (timber) piece.

Taking the plunge

If you’re already a keen woodworker or crafter, chances are there’s a plunge router on your wish list – with the Dremel 335 router base attachment, you can transform your Dremel into a mini-plunge router to help you achieve those fancy edges and detailed profiles.

A lighter touch

With the Dremel 225 flex shaft attachment, just about anything can be customised. Tight spots, nooks and corners are all within reach when you add the flexible 91.4cm shaft to your corded rotary tool or the 10.8V lithium-ion cordless. The comfort grip handpiece gives you fingertip control for precise polishing, carving, sanding and engraving.

Drilling down

Need a drill press? The Dremel 220 workstation is even better, serving as three tools in one: a drill press, tool holder and a flex shaft holder. If you’re looking to drill accurate (perpendicular or angled) holes, or even just to secure your Dremel so you can sand smaller shapes, this piece has you covered.

Health & Safety

Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.

Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer. You can also use a simple test kit from Bunnings to indicate the presence of lead-based paint.
