Thread: Re-using felt Dremel wheels

Hi Gents,
So I was working on a razor yesterday, and started going through these darn expensive felt wheel I use to buff Mass...they get all black and slick fairly quickly, and then become pretty useless, so I was thinking to myself, well, I wonder if I could "dress" a felt wheel.

I took a quick look around my shop, and saw a paint scraper I had been using the weekend before - It had a fairly keen metal edge, was pretty sturdy, so I gave it a go - on about a "3" speed, I gently "dressed" the felt wheel, cleaning the metal edge on the scraper periodically, and low and behold, the felt came clean! A little fuzzy, but nothing that two rubs of the hand didn't take care of!

Just a little tip from my bench...every bit helps, right guys?
