What are /r/Dremel's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Didn't even think of that! I have this hacksaw already, I imagine I could just get a blade made for metal and some cutting oil?

The bottom one is the cutting guide. You can Google it and find video tutorials on how to use it.

The top two are new to me, but the extendable hook looks like the top of the Dremel Workstation and is used to hold the power cord out of the way. It looks like it might screw into the clamp, which you'd clamp to the edge of your workbench.

Those grinding wheels often come with a little "stone" you can use to clean/restore the wheel.

It's small, grey, rectangle, a little smaller than a 2-square lego piece if I remember correctly.

FYI for "Milling" aluminum, I found the tungstun carbide bits to work quite well, (use high speed, low pressure, and safety glasses). Although that will depend exactly what you want to do...

Chances are the polish you used did not have any abrasive in it. If it did, the polishing wheel would turn black quickly while polishing the metal.

What you are describing is WAX. Wax does not polish. It applies a protective coating which reduces the look of surface scratches and protects against corrosion. What you need is a "Rouge" or "polishing compound" which contain fine abrasives for smoothing the surface of metal.

For polishing metal, i use something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/SCOTTCHEN-Buffing-Polishing-Cutting-Compounds/dp/B0828K5RH1/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=polishing+compound&sr=8-6

The compounds come in three different levels of abrasive and they work amazing and can put a mirror finish on steel, brass, copper, etc.

Are you starting with these and using them to take all the paint off? Because I'd probably start with Citristrip and a stiff nylon or wire brush, then move to contoured sanding grips with some 60-grit paper, and only fall back on the Dremel for cleanup work and sanding.

Yeah it depends what you want to do: if you want to "shape" wood, then yep the sanding drums are great.

For custom cuts, e.g following a curved line, then one of the cutting bits like in the first link.

Discs for straight cuts.

Two things I didn't mention: if you are doing a lot of shaping, then it can be much nicer to clamp the dremel, and just hold the wood with your hands, gives you more control than holding the actual dremel. Dremel do make a clamp for this (see the 5th photo for an example).

There is also the Flex shaft attachment, which gives you pencil-like control.

Oh, I meant a vise for holding whatever object is being drilled / polished / etc.

I'm not so concerned about the workstation moving as the stones and components that are being drilled into.

I ended up getting this, because it seems to be small enough. I guess I'll know in a couple of days.

It's a workstation that can be use as a drill press ( https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-Workstation-Portable-Drilling-Perpendicular/dp/B00068P48O/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dremel+workstation&qid=1628269732&sprefix=dremel+workstat&sr=8-3 )

And for the problem, the drill is supposed to go back to it's initial position when you don't use it, but some kind of spring was probably broken so I just sent it back to the customer service and they gave me a new one.

In case you're interested of buying one I suggest you to check a YouTube video for the setup bc some step are weirdly explained in the manual ;)

10PC Carbide Double Cut Burr Set - 0.118 Inch (3mm) Shank, Rotary Tool Cutting Bits - Accessories for Dremel, Fordom, Flex Shaft, Dewalt And Multitools - For Wood Carving, Metal Working And Engraving. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NCVXKF3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_G5DXWS7TAEQQ8YMXTYAF

Brilliant! As someone who does not fish a tackle box would have never occurred to me. Just ordered this guy and it seems perfect for my purposes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPQRM5K/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks man!

I recently went through an exercise on looking at the kits.

The 710-02 and 710-05 seem to be the same thing. The 710-08 is missing the Abrasive buffs (511E/512E) and a cut off wheel (540) and has some extra sanding disks. Its also got different shape grinding stones.

So very minor differences. I would see which is better price (looks to be the 08) and get that.

BTW you can see a comparison of the different size kits on [this](www.amazon.com/Dremel-709-02-110-Piece-All-Purpose-Accessory/dp/B00OAXKJO0) page. I found the 709-02 kit was less sanding focused and picked that (not interested in EZ-lock parts)
