a router, a dremel , die grinder and angle grinder?

Bonbon

Hi,

What are the differences between a router, a dremel , die grinder and angle grinder?
Just different in size and power or total different in application?

Just discovered dremel got router bits too, are they good to remove wood from bonsai trees?

I also saw some other routers bits, bigger stuffs from other brand. What machine should we attach a router bits to? Just for routers only or any die-grinder that fit or even just a electric drill.

Can we use any router bits or just Samurai or ninja?

Thanks
Bonbon

a router basically cuts rabits or channels in wood, I use one to make daizas for my antique mudfigure collection...a dremel is a miniature power carving tool, I use one for applying detail in my fish carvings, a die grinder is basically a dremel but with more power, I use one for roughing out carvings, and an angle grinder is a beast all of its own, they have sanding discs that come in 4, 41/2 and 7 ich sizes, i use an angle grinder to shape both large fish or bird carvings.

ps, any of the above can cause serious damage to your hands if they get caught in the blade, be careful and use safety lenses and a respirator for safety.
