I’m a retired dental technician with 38 years of experience. I recommend not cross contaminating you buffing wheels. Cleaning them also wears them out quickly. Another thing that you might try is using, say, a 1/2 to 3/4” mounted soft polishing brush before lying heavy pressure on you item. Robinson is a good brand. That removes a lot of detail on something like your dime. The Flitz is a great product, as well. The red rouse is normally very fine for a final shine if you aren’t using Flitz. I have polished thousands of gold crowns and jewelry casings.

I was thinking that also. I can't seem to find one like that. Do i search for swivel vice? Where can I get one?

So when I decided I would like to try some wood carving, kzread.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR I went all out and got the best Dremel I could find. I quickly discovered that carving just by hand is a long process (and painful on the hands). Rotary tools can all basically do the same things, but this one has two particular features that set it apart. First, you can use it much more dextrously since it doesn't have a power cord pulling on it. You can also take it anywhere without pulling an extension cord along with you. It's hard to overestimate the benefit of this. You'd think that you'd have to sacrifice some power for this, but this Dremel has a very strong and long-lasting battery and it charges quickly. Secondly, while most rotary told have a few speed settings, this Dremel has a sliding scale, from very slow to extremely fast. This thing can do about a million different jobs, but I would point out one drawback, which is certainly not unique to Dremel, is that it's a small chore to change out the different tips.

Yes - always CRITICAL to at least wear safety glasses any time that Dremel is spinning.

Can’t say how much I agree with the lung and eye protection. Learned both the hard way. You totally won’t think you are inhaling anything (I honestly didn’t) but after a few times feeling sick the next day and (and sometimes having black boogers from the stuff caught in my nose) my slow brain made the connection. That’s to say nothing of the potential for long term damage. Eyes - same thing. Especially off brand dremmel tips flying apart or debris I’ve been hit in the eye several times with small pieces (which is unpleasant) and had large pieces go zipping off at 200mph after they get unbalanced and break several times. All it takes is once for that large piece to hit my eye. IM super hard headed but because these are hobbyists tools we tend to think they’re inherently safe. They have serious dangers. Nothing a simple mask and glasses can’t fix. I know that wearing masks is all political now. But my gut tells me that hauking up a black tinged lougie is probably an indication of poor life choices.

It is better to change buffing wheels when you change buffing solution. Cleaning it that way won’t remove all of the initial compound. Polishing is a process of progressing to smaller and smaller grit compound, just like sand paper. So you keep a wheel dedicated to the compound it had initially applied to it.

Here’s an idea: You could use a stencil (or use tape to make out a shape) and polish only the exposed areas to make a design (on a flat piece of metal for example). That way you could make a shiny, polished design against an unpolished background.

The Flitz paste is extremely versatile. You can literally use it to polish up car paint, all the metal parts of the car, you can use it to refurbish your yellow/dim headlights (wetsand with fine grit paper, bring them up to clarity again with the Flitz), you can polish fiberglass boats with it, it's just an incredibly useful allround polishing compound. And for slightly larger polishing jobs they sell somewhat expensive but very good viscose "buff balls" with no exposed metal on the end, so you can get into nooks and crannies on vehicles without worrying about scratching stuff.

This video gave me the confidence to finally give some shine to my metal handrail on my corridor & stairs. Never used the dremel to polish anything before but I am somewhat familiar with stationary buffing wheels.

Iv always used the flitz and its always been a great finish. Never tried the maroon paste that came with dremal wasn't sure. The green polish i use to dress my leather strop on my knife sharpener and it works amazing for finishing the edges on my knives.

You should never mix compounds on the same wheel as there will always be residual compound that will compromise the finish. Also the green compound and Flitz are both made with chromium oxide and are comparatively similar.

How nice to see a man demonstrate something … with lovely hands, …. started watching a video last week and the man had long dirty fingernails, couldn’t keep watching .. I just bought a Dremel and this video has helped enormously… thankyou !

Great tip about working clean. I do paint correction professionally, and working clean and controlling residue is the key to success. I like the Flix, it's very good for light jobs, great for lightly polishing glass. It has a long working time for refining, but the cut leaves something to be desired. I have the stick stuff too, but I usually just use the 3D ACA compound I use for paint correction to cut and then finish with any polish I happen to grab. I use CarPro Metallicut for high end work. Works incredibly well for both cut and finish. It's perfect for DIY guys, but not very cost efficient if you're a professional. Thanks for the video!👍👌✌

Your wheel cleaning method is close to how I use to clean a large buffer at my fathers sheet metal shop, we made kitchen equipment for Cruise Ships at the Port of Miami, and hotels and restaurants suck as the Marriott. As mentioned in another comment, changing buffing wheels is needed when you change compounds. Also on large grain surfaces, if the grain is running left to right you hold you buffing wheel parallel to the grain but move the wheel up and down. This polishes without changing the direction of the grain... and don’t over polish because you can actually remove the grain. Keep up the good videos 👍😀👍

Polishing is just removing scratches, this is why you start coarse and go progressively finer. The really fine compounds leave ‘scratches’ that are invisible to the eye. They may even be smaller that the wavelengths of visible light You can reuse pads as long as you ALWAYS use an old pad with a coarser compound otherwise you are putting back new ‘scratches' that you have just polished out!

Buffing Compound: Buffing compound is basically just very fine particulates in some kind of binding agent, its like a brick of very very fine sand paper. you can use clay in its stead. where clay is just very fine particulates, finer than sand. probably would help to make it wet. but professional compounds are going to be more consistent. but if your in a tight spot, you can use fine clay. i would recommend red or black clay as ( red = rust, (oxidized iron), and black = carbon. additionally. lighting (a) candle(s), or burning wood, and collecting the soot that rises by using (a) bowl(s) elevated above it to catch the fine carbon, you can then dust off the bowl(s) into a collection bowl. this fine carbon can be mixed with water to create black ink, or you can add this to your compound and use its ultra fine texture for buffing.

Hello! I love your work and your unique presentation. You might even find it useful to set up a little Polishing and Finishing station if you have a Dremel with a hanging loop attached. If you have a suitable electrical outlet, you could hang up your Dremel and use it as a pendant motor - like a Foredom if you get the handpiece and drive train attachment. Hung up it's out the way of your working surfaces, and you can attach your mops to the handpiece to help with the finishing and polishing. It's how jewellers and watchmakers setup their motors because it allows you to work in a relatively small space and have your motor to hand. You can also get stands to hang it up from which either stand on the floor, or can be clamped down on a table edge. Dremel might make these, or you can buy them. Avoid the cheap telescopic ones though as they aren't very strong. Hope this helps.

Good information!! Thanks. I got a lot of the felt pads with my Dremel, I will now plan a few polishing projects!

That works so good. One company makes a wheel made of dense particleboard. It is amazing, and is easily the fastest possible option for sharpening.

Couple of comments. Never use gloves with a rotary tool. If you must use a thick leather glove. As for rouge, less is more when applying it. Also use separate pads for different grits. Results is everything so what ever works for you.

Mostly correct. I still wouldn't suggest anything other than tear away gloves.

Leather finger cuffs work well. Plus they'll tear away should they get caught in the rotary tool.

Hey, thank you very much for the great video! Due to a lot of grinding and cutting, I have actually over-worked about five dremels to death and had to replace them, but they're great! Dremel makes a robust rotary tool. For example last just month, I put on an over-sized wood blade on and cut off the running boads off my 2006 Ford Explorer because the mounting bolts were rusted to the clips. I've tried a few times to sand metal things to a polish but failed for lack of know-how. This video was excellent with it's plain language instruction, clear demonstration as well as its inclusion of it's list of parts, accessories, and compounds. I will now be picking up a clamping vice and other items you used. Now I`m anxious to get started on a bunch of my other projects. Well Done Man!

Wtf, how big of a blade did you put on to be able to cut running boards? 2 1/2", 3"? And which arbor did you use if ya don't mind me asking. 20 bucks for a cutoff tool at HF, angle or dye grinder would be my thought process.dremel ftw

@danielmeecham464

Hi Kevin, The whole freak'n running board is mostly plastic, except for a few heavy guage metal brackets. I couldn't use a regular hand grinder because it'd make a big mess of burning plastic. So I used a dremel with a wood blade that was about 1 3/4" in diameter. I got the blades from Princess Auto. The problem there was that a few times when the blade started spinning, the blade went to a wobble and the arbor alarmingly bent ninety degrees with the blade still attached -- ready to fly off as a surprise shuriken. So I found 1 1/4" mini wood blade that did not wobble and spin off. It took about two hours of carefully cutting the plastic for both running boards, and about another hour or so grinding off the metal brackets. It was a little dodgy at times ( I seriously recommend safety glasses), and I smoked the dremel. But, it was well worth the effort because getting in and out of my truck is a lot easier and there is no longer a rust maker/holder.

I literally only THOUGHT about researching how to polish my resin pieces, and I do have a Dremel & Flitz, and this video popped up in my Recommended Videos section. How did KZread know I needed to see this video? And I luv the eyewear and mask, I shall be ordering me some of those. Thank u sir for making & sharing this oh so perfect video!!

Thank you for this great informative video . I just bought a Dremel tool and set on eBay but hasn't been delivered yet. I own a 1982 SL380 Mercedes that I'm restoring . I was going to buy all new body and top trim but decided to give a try at polishing them first; since they are straight , with no scratches and dents . Can the " Flitz " compound and the buffers you used , be used on aluminum trim ? Thanks for the tip on safety , compounds and cleaning the buffers too. Best Regards

@@CorneliusCreations thank you . I received the Dremel and I purchased some wool pads online like the ones you used in your video . I screwed the dremel in the pad and then applied Fritz. I used the Dremel at 5,000 rpm and after about 30 seconds , the wool pad was turning freely on the mandrel. The pad was no longer locked in place . What are your thoughts on this ? Can I use a mandrel on the pads , similar to the one that is used for 1/2 sanding disks ? Where there's a screw on the end of the mandrel . I bought several hundred wool pads and didn't want to waste money I spent on them . I will go to harbor freight and check out what they have . What would you consider a legit pad ? I appreciate any information you can give me . Thank you again. Best Regards
