Thread: Flitz and a dremmil

Please elaborate, Mike. Which bit/wheel/material and which compound are you referring to?

Maybe this can turn into a very useful tips&tricks thread.

Here's a wedge I've been working on with the greaseless, doing the circles mentioned before. This is at the 80 grt. stage, and ready to move up to 120.

Before:


At 80grt.

I had to put a bit of a hollow back in it, since it was almost honed to a true wedge, and to remove pits.
Far from done.

I picked up a Dremel kit couple of months ago...been reading how I might use it...did a test run on a destroyed blade to see how it felt in the hand...variable speed, so uber slow and careful...worked great.

Found hand sanding is the way to get that nice final look, but you can take care of a lot of the grunt work with this tool.

Nice looking setup Outback...just what I was looking to see and how to roll...thanks!

Mines variable speed also. I go as slow as possible without stopping the wheel.
Settings are at 5 and 6 and always start and stop with the wheel on the blade.
You don't ever want to see sparks, "EVER"!!!!! Watch your heat on the blade. as well as the dremmel. The greaseless is hell on the dremmel itself.
A lot of resistance going on.

Mine is set on 20mph all the time.
It works fine for everything in that speed.

But ill be the first to admit : I don't know what im doing

Looks real good Mike! And thanks I keep reading and learning. Still doing it all by hand rite now though
