Title: cheap texture tool
Post by: Martin Lawrence on May 23, 2018, 10:48:24 AM

  I think this would be a cheap texturing tool that would take an assortment of wood cutting bits and only £10 plus £1.99 postage.

This is not a rotary tool, it is more of an engraver so would have limited use with wood cutting bits. The specification on this site states 6000rpm, suggesting a rotary motion whereas the original supplier states it as 6000 strokes per minute.

I agree it would make a cheap tool for some forms of texturing but don't get your expectations too high.
