Smith I used to apprentice for had a saying "Another drool with a Dremel tool" this was because most people had no concept of things like polish on LOW speed with cloth buffs. I use mine all the time to remove light rust or polish brass or nickel silver on knives. With flitz or Semi chrome it takes NO pressure and works like magic.

Same here, great little tip.

If you run a bead of super glue around the interior of both sides of your wire wheel, you can extend the life if your wheel by a pretty significant margin. That's less wires being sent straight toward your forehead, eye ball, and I got one in the tip of my nose once - that face shield really is the way to go.

I use a dremel when making holsters. Instead of punching holes, I drill them with a 3/32 bit. After gluing the holster together, I hold the edge over a piece of scrap wood and drill through the leather into the wood. It makes a clean hole to stitch through, and burnishes the hole to prevent tearing. I use the sanding drum on the sewn together edges to smooth them out for a finished look.

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzread.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.

You can also take a 1/8” rod or whatever size shank for the collet your tool is using and cut a slit in the end however deep you may need and fold sandpaper thru it to create a way to gently buff the inside of holes to clean or remove burrs or even open the hole up a small amount. This method allows you to easily work on a range of hole sizes with the same tool just by making the sand paper longer to sling out farther

Just started learning how to “restore” old pocket knives. I’ve been collecting for only a few years, but didn’t want to just keep buying knives for the sake of buying knives, so I decided to take the hobby into this direction. Got a drill press, vertical sander with grinding wheel, vice, sone clamps, and my late father in laws dremel tool that’s just like yours. There was also a battery powered one in the box, so I’m hoping to use that one as well. I’ve only used a rotary tool a few times, so I’m very new to it. But what a difference it makes cleaning up old carbon steel pocketknives. Can’t believe I was doing all that stuff by hand, taking up a lot of time. Love watching your restoration vids, and the ones like this one. Short, too the point, filled with information. Hank you kind sir, I will def be using your vids as some of my learning tools. I just got a 70s delrin winter bottom handled Queen moose knife, that has to get the pivot replaced on the clip point blade. I’ll be going into your vault to find tips. Happy new year, and be safe

It has so much tractive power out of zero rpm and keeps rpm on low speed when burdened. There is lower speed possile with it and its very durable, cause of the big motor with long lasting brushes. No over heating problems and always a handy cold handpiece which takes tools up to 6mm without constantly change collets. If you once worked with one, you wont go back to dremel. To have variable speed with foot pedal i"ll miss never again. They are cheaper than dremel and have spare parts too for reasonable prices.

I see you restore a lot of tools, I do too, an old woodworker back about 40 years ago used to do this to recondition old rusty tools then put a clear coating on them and sell these to supplement his tiny retirement allowance. He showed me how to coat a tightly packed heavy cloth buffing wheel with an adhesive from Caswell then you rolled this compound on the wheel and let the glue dry. The compound was probably silicon carbide, emery or aluminium oxide in fine grits like 120-400. You could take an old rusty hammer or pair of channel locks and lay into this wheel pretty well and it would make the rusted item look like new in a few minutes or so. Must have heavy gloves on and personal protection gear on. When the buffing wheel glue wore off you can remove it all down to new cloth then recoat and roll on whatever grit abrasive you wanted.
