Really great idea's you are sharing I have a few rotary Dremal like what you have for small projects

Awesome idea, I stopped halfway through to get my tools and accessories needed to make one. After testing one I made more but I adjusted the design slightly. I used shorter bolts with slightly larger washers. I also ground down the threads about 1/4-1/3 up. Plus I put a small dab of hot glue to secure the nut. Looking forward to more DIY clips

Thank you for sharing this! I made some using a piece of metallic pipe of circular section and they worked fine. I had some of these pads laying around and it never crossed my mind using them for buffs.

Yes… Always wear safety glasses. Especially when using a table saw. Safety glasses make it a lot easier to see where your fingers landed just before you pass out.

I suggest you put two washers slightly smaller then the desired diameter of the abrasive wheel you are making, one on each side. You will be surprised how well it works

That's a great and "less expensive" idea, (dremel nevera could be cheap) i hace a recomendation for the balance, make the Bolt more short. And use it with no more than 10k rpm to polish. For near 6 dollars You created a awesome idea

Hell yeah! I just got a dremel, so that i can make jewelry. This is rad, thank you!

Keep the length of screw close to what most Dremel bits are, the violent vibration after running it on the wood is a result of the screw bending and become off balance. The mild steel for most screws can easily bend so use the largest screw that can be chucked on would add durability.

Hey Karl, I can see how this would come in handy. As you said, a dust mask and safety glasses are a must. Eyes and lungs are hard to come by. The Dremel dust blower really helps too. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the kind words.

Very polite and straight forward. 👍 appreciated

It's not the dremel brushes that are making the rough rattle sound at high speeds. The nut, bolt, and scotch pads are unbalanced. I have to agree with Sayeds comment about the washers. They will make it more stable. I feel that you might be underestimating your audiences intelligence level. I know I don't have to go to Home Depot to buy scotch pads. I realize that is okay. Most people can cut a circle. I can't do a good one but your trick really didn't work out so well. If anybody knows a link to some free video editing software, could you post a link for this gentleman. The vids could use some streamlining. You do speak clearly though. I can understand everything you say. Kudos.

If you dipped the pads in a little bit of vinegar, you'd get a much cleaner file in no time.

sir you deserve much more than a like...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Cool videos, thanks. I make them too but I sharpened the inside of a piece of 1" copper pipe and cut my pads out of dollar store sctotchbrite. I put them on a 402 dremel mandrel.

i did the same thing but the copper was kinda weak so I used stainless

The shank is sticking out too much. Thats why it oscillates. Find the sweet spot.

Good vid, thanks. A small dab of paint or nail varnish stops the nut undoing through vibration.

Not bad, i have the same two dremel tools. The dollar store has the same scrubby pads for a dollar and perhaps nuts and bolts. The video was much longer than it needed to be though. Thanks

Thank you, this saved me a chuck of change.

You can make sanding disk out of small wood circles and glue the sand paper to the wood disc I did that with a wood peg glued the sand paper put a screw in the peg cut the head off the screw and sand away.

Would it help to take off the threads of the screw near the base. It would make it easier to set.

Brown Scotch brite pads made for woodworking come in different grids and won't make your wood green And are great for sanding wood carvings

Be neat to cut out grinding wheels or something but good nice video I started a wood carving

How do you get different abrasiveness? Commercial wheels often have various grit ratings, starting at roughly 60/80 grit and going to about 360/400 grit. Does Scotch-Brite make pot scrubbers in different abrasive ratings? By the way, third-party abrasive wheels are much cheaper (usually about .30¢ purchased in bulk).

Should have showed a close up of the file after finding the best focus range. Good video.

@ScrollsawVideo

4 жыл бұрын

Good call!

When showing a close up by moving the object don't move it so close because the object comes out of focus. Try using a tape to measure the focus range for practice.

What grit would this be equivalent too and have you tried any of the other colors? Great video thank you

www.ptreeusa sells 3 different grits that are color coded but I cant remember the grits right now. The ScothBrite shown here is a little rougher than those three.

I do believe the screw is a little suuuper long. just a tad...

By shortening that bolt there will be a lot less rattling and your bearings will last longer. Good ideas 💡 though

there is not balancing and you gona damage your rotor.

I think it could be your homemade accessory that is off balance, the second dremel didn't sound so hot either on high speed, maybe the hole is not in the center of the pad or the screw is not truly straight. I mean before you spend money and time check on that first.

I think your videos are great!!! You take your time and explain things so they can be understood by everyone. Novices and experienced. Keep them coming.

If you spent a couple hundred on two dremels, then I think you could afford to buy a new file, rather than restoring a crappy one. My rotary tool kit cost me $32 dollars at Harbor Freight (a savings compared to a Home Depot Dremel kit at $128 dollars), and includes many buffing and sanding heads & accessories. The cheaper kit went for $29 dollars, but I liked this one better for just a few more $$$’s.
