I just found this video and it’s a blessing I did. I just started cosplay and I live in an apartment building. I don’t have the separate space to use my dremel to make a giant mess, and I don’t have my own space outside to use it anymore. This is a perfect alternative. Thank you!

you can also try holding a vacuum nozzle just under the thing youre sanding/dremeling, helps a lot for when you need a quick dremel detail :>

I'm not even a minute into the video, but, as much as I love my dremel(not technically a dremel just a rotary tool), but I'm 17, so if I wanna do anything I've gotta go outside and do all that fuss and my hands end up going numb from the vibrating, so the knowledge to do stuff just as effectively with hand sanding is going to be a god send, so, even though I'm just starting the video, thank you, this is incredibly useful

Going to be working with some foam for a cosplay, and admittedly I was worried about dremel tools due to space constraints and noise. Thank you for this so that I can still make nice cosplays without having to fill my home with dust and get complaints from my neighbors!

Neat trick, I'll have to try to remember the next time I make something out of foam. FYI, what you call a "bleeder line" is properly called a fuller and has nothing to do with blood or bleeding. The purpose of the fuller was to help reduce the weight of the blade without compromising the strength of the blade. The whole thing about letting blood out so that the blade doesn't get stuck in a body is just a myth.

I'm gonna add something, a fuller does compromise a little strength, so its a bit of a trade off, like most things, it's quite a bit lighter but not quite as strong, still strong enough obviously, it just doesn't make it stronger or retain the same strength, there's a big of a reduction, I'm not trying to like "um actually" you here, just more interesting knowledge on fullers

Thx for that correction ( intended to comment, but you beat me to it)🙂

Thanks Ben! My workroom is inside and I hate that the EVA dust gets everywhere when I use my Dremel. I will check out the Kutzall files.

Thank you for sharing this! I am making some puppets for a theater show from eva foam and desperately needed this. Thank you!!

Thanks a lot, might be very useful for small and/or quiet shop

Thank you for that Ben!!

Thanks for the great tips as always Ben 👍👍

Always good to share these... Glad they help.

Thank you so much. I've been a cosplayer for many years and the Dremel is one tool I've always avoided, because I simply do not have the space for a workshop. but with these small tools, I can easily work on my balcony or even just on my living room floor without having to worry about getting the dust everywhere. At least my living room is big enough, that I could easily contain it to a smaller space I can just vacuum clean afterwards. Thank you so so much for these tipps!

Thank you! I hate using a dremel because the noise is just the perfect frequency to cause me a panic attack

This is so helpful. I don't love using a dremel and feel like I never get the precision I need for edges. I can't wait to try this out!

I honestly hardly touch my dremel any more because of this

Excellent. I tend to jump to the dremel, but the mess isn't always worth the squeeze. Thanks

This video is so helpful, thank you so much for making this video. I can start working on my cosplay armor without worrying about how to make the details. I wish this video was out more for people who are on a budget.

Sorry, not sorry?

I have one question - you know these EVA foam tile mats for gym floors? They have a textured side on the front I'm using in one of my cosplays. Do you maybe know how to paint this side? I cant get any paint or primer I try to reliably stick to this surface. :(

You have to rough it up with sandpaper. If you want the texture to stay maybe look into spray paint 'Adhesion promoter'
