Troubleshooting
The sanding angle is not accurate.
Ensure the material is firmly pressed against the platform guides and that the attachment is securely fastened to the Dremel tool. Double-check the angle using a protractor.
The sanding band or grinding stone is wearing out too quickly.
Reduce the pressure applied while sanding or grinding. Use the appropriate accessory for the material. Ensure the workpiece is moving smoothly across the abrasive surface.
The Dremel tool vibrates excessively.
