Dustless Inlay and Veneer Flush-Trimming
Use the DCM200 18 in bandfile with the adaptor and DWH161 extractor to flush-trim wood or metal inlays, marquetry, and edge banding without coating your work with dust. The tool-free attachment lets you snap on the adaptor for quick, precise cleanup between passes so glue lines and finish stay pristine.
Knife Handle and Scale Sculpting
Shape G10, Micarta, and hardwood knife handles, then flush pins and profile contours while capturing hazardous fine dust. The bandfile’s narrow belt reaches finger choils and tight radii; the adaptor maintains visibility and cleaner air so you can refine details longer with less cleanup.
Luthier Fretboard and Nut/Tenon Cleanup
Carefully dial in nut slots, saddle edges, binding seams, and heel/tenon transitions. Pairing the adaptor with the DWH161 keeps ebony/rosewood dust and metal particles from fretting out across the bench, protecting finishes and reducing rework before final polish.
Resin, Casting, and Stabilized Wood Finishing
Smooth cured epoxy seams, fill lines, and small casting gates on resin art, river table offcuts, or stabilized wood blanks. The adaptor captures brittle resin and dye-laden dust, letting you feather transitions and preview clarity before moving to polishing.
3D Print Seam Removal and Part Fitting
Use the bandfile to blend layer lines, remove supports, and fine-tune interlocking parts on PLA/ABS/PETG prints. With the adaptor connected to the DWH161, you keep plastic dust out of rails and bearings, improving accuracy and surface quality for paint-ready parts.
