A flexible shaft attachment has a cord with a spring around it to relieve some of the tool’s weight from your hand. Take the end of the flexible shaft attachment and pull out the rod that’s inside it. Slide the rod into the back end of the Dremel tool and tighten it by rotating it clockwise. Screw the end of the attachment onto the tool to secure it in place.  You can buy a flexible shaft attachment from your local hardware store. You don’t need a flexible shaft attachment but they make it easier to put in intricate details. Keep your fingers at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) up from the rotating end of the Dremel tool when you hold it. Position the tool in your hand so the power switch faces up so you can easily access it. Hold the tool at a 30- or 45-degree angle to the wood while you’re carving to get the most control. Don’t touch the rotating bit on the Dremel tool while it’s running since you could seriously injure yourself. Dremel tools have a small motor, so they cannot carve through wood for a long time, or else they could get damaged. When you use your Dremel tool, press the end lightly into the wood and pull it in the same direction as the wood grain for no longer than 5-10 seconds at a time. Don’t rush your design since it you can easily make a mistake and carve out a section you didn’t intend to. Start by pressing lightly on the wood so you don’t accidentally remove too much of the wood. You can always remove more wood, but you cannot put it back. A sabretooth bit has sharp teeth or burrs that can quickly tear through wood and remove material from the blank. Secure the sabretooth bit in the end of your Dremel tool by rotating it clockwise. Turn on the tool and slowly press it into the wood to carve it out. The sabretooth bit will leave a rough finish, but it will shred through the wood very fast so you can carve out large areas.  Test the speed while using a sabretooth bit on a scrap piece of wood first so you know what to expect when you use it on your design. Make sure the bits you’re using are meant to cut through wood, or else you could damage the tool. A fluted carbide bit has small vertical channels with sharp edges around it so it leaves a smooth finish. Put one of your fluted bits into the end of your Dremel tool and lightly press into the wood to carve out your outlines. Follow along the outlines slowly so you don’t accidentally remove too much wood from the design. Work in slow, fluid motions so you’re less likely to make mistakes.  Standard Dremel bit kits usually have 3-4 fluted bits you can try while carving. Use larger fluted bits to carve out big areas of wood and smaller bits when you need to add intricate lines and details. A diamond bit has a rough texture like sandpaper and works well to soften any sharp edges in the design. Secure the diamond bit of your choice in the tool and turn it on. Work slowly and carefully around the edges of your design to clean up any rough areas and smooth them out. You may be able to carve designs using only diamond bits if you’re working with softwood, but it may wear out the bit faster. Working with a Dremel tool can create a lot of sawdust, which makes it difficult to see your design and what you already carved. Stop the Dremel tool every 5 minutes and wipe the wood clean with a dry cloth so you can see which areas you still need to work on. Tap the back of the wood piece to knock any sawdust loose from any crevices and tight areas. Avoid blowing the sawdust off of your design since the sawdust will get airborne.
