A compact, handheld power tool designed for precision grinding, sanding, honing, polishing, or machining, this device utilizes a high-speed rotary action to drive various bits and accessories. Applications range from deburring metal edges to intricate carving in wood or stone. It is commonly found in metalworking shops, automotive repair facilities, and various other manufacturing environments requiring detailed material removal or finishing.
Its utility lies in its maneuverability and capacity to access confined spaces. The device’s ability to accept a wide array of interchangeable bits further enhances its versatility, allowing for task-specific customization. Historically, similar tools were used primarily in dental applications before being adapted for industrial purposes. This adaptation significantly improved efficiency in tasks requiring fine detail and control.
