At last someone who doesn't feel the need to use background music, thanks so much for really good, to the point, well presented information. Really great!
Thank you so much!! Great video! You just got a new subscriber! You explained everything straight to the point, very visual, just the right speed (for me at least haha) and no nonsense! Thanks again!
Thank you for the demonstration, just bought my dremel tool, for my uses the hang stand and extension tool cable will be most in use, the ez clic mandrel is also useful to have.
I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. ru-vid.comUgkxfPgcZ5_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.
Thanks for the safety tips. I’m a retired dentist, and I once had the tip of a scalpel break and lodge into my safety glasses (in the area in front of my right eye). The tips on good ventilation and N95 masks or better are really important also. A lot of materials, like abalone shell, are similar to asbestos, and will ruin a human lung. Great video.
I wasn't looking for a tutorial about how to use a Dremel, but I got hooked on the calm, paced way you explain and demonstrate. I subscribed immediately. Thanks.
"The Dremel is a high speed low torque rotary tool, don't treat it like a low speed high torque power drill. Let the speed of the tool do the work" This was spot on the exact advice I needed as a beginner. I'm much more comfortable with my Dremel now, thank you so much for the video!
A Dremel Rotary Tool is one of the most dangerous tools in use because it continues to run if you drop it or lose control of it. I had a saw blade on my Dremel go through my palm and thumb after losing control of the tool. They stopped counting stitches in my palm and thumb at 40. It should have a spring loaded on/off switch.
It's worse if you have the extension shaft thing while it's on. Fucker bounce everywhere like a ran away hose and hit my forehead. Luckily i wear a safety glasses and only use a wood carving bit and not a cutting wheel
I’ve had my Dremel for decades, but it isn’t true that this video wasn’t for me. That was the only mistake you made! I learned a lot, many accessories I never got into, and also didn’t know a lot of things you mention! Thanks!
Many, many years ago, my grandfather's Dremel set came with an actual, metal saw blade attachment. He only tried to use it a couple times before deeming it too dangerous. Even on wood, it tended to 'bite' and want to run along the surface of whatever you were cutting. And unlike the fiber cutting wheels, the teeth on the saw blade would take a nasty chunk out of you if they hit flesh. You also neglected to mention that those fiber cutting discs will cut through just about anything, including steel. You just have to make sure to hold them perfectly straight, as the discs, especially the tan ones, are quite brittle. Still, even when they "explode" they're not super-dangerous. You might get a piece in your eye if you're not wearing safety goggles, but the pieces typically won't break the skin if they hit you anywhere else. At least the tan ones won't.
Thank you so much for this video! I recently bought a Dremel 3000 to use on EVA foam props and while I did read the instruction manual cover to cover, I've been too nervous to try using it without a demonstration. This made things much clearer and helped me understand the different bits more. Your pacing was excellent and thorough without being too much, and I feel much more confident trying it out now. 🙏
Thank you for the information. There’s a lot of guys talking about the different pieces but they don’t say what are used for and I really appreciate you explaining what they’re used play. Thank you again for the video.
I’ve been looking for something like this since I got my Dremel long ago. I love your voice…easy to understand and not grating like another one I watched. Your tips and examples are just right, and I appreciate the little details you mention. Finally, I think I can start using this tool after being a bit frustrated just trying. Will be checking out your other videos as well (subscribed!). I’m one of those older gals (😳🤣) and a visual learner so this is perfect! Thanks for sharing your expertise. PS, added this YT link to my Pinterest.
Thank you so much! I try to make videos that I would personally watch so it’s great to hear that others enjoy them. Not huge into extra fluff or yelling
Number one rule of carving is : "Two hands on this side of the blade". For safety, most things should be held in a vise or clamp. Otherwise a non-slip rubber surface is often used. There is a drawer lining at the dollar store that is good. You can bunch it and make a sort of cradle. Of course, some careful detail work must be done by holding in hand. If you regularly hold with your hand what you are working on, you will eventually, usually pretty quickly, cut or injure yourself. Excellent job on the Dremel demonstration.
I noticed with one of the wood removal attachments you were cutting towards your hand..... Please cut away from your hand or better still use a vise or a clamp of some sorts. One slip could cause a nasty injury which is preventable. Good luck and be safe. I love my Dremel even though it's 20 years old now.
This is the most helpful and informative video! I’m getting into resin and using it with wood and I purchased this exact Dremel. Thanks to your videos. I will be way more successful than I would’ve been otherwise.
Sir, thank you so much for your unparalleled presentation of the Dremel tool, its accessories, and how to use them correctly and safely. I have reading complication’s (sometimes I simply do not comprehend), but with you as a teacher/instructor I understand. I’ve had my Dremel for years, but have only used the sander wheel to file my dog’s toe nails. I’ve not used any other accessory. Thanks to you I’m going to attempt to cut thin metal trim today. And I will wear the safety glasses and mask. Your loyal and grateful student, Terri 🥰
Well done. I didn't know about the easy twist which can be use to tighten/loosen the chuck. I'll check mine to see if I have that model. I also agree that no background music is great. Keep up the great work Log's Carving Club.
Enjoyed someone showing the Dremel basics. Most take the Dremel Tool for granted, but it's quite a tool for its size. Its capabilities surprises most users and challenges the user to develop knowledge of its attachments and possible uses. I appreciate your videos, but felt you need to increase the sound volume, it's difficult to hear you when you're close to the work. Thanks again for the instruction.
Thanks for the tips! I've tried to fix that in recent videos, but I think I just speak too quietly into the microphone. Then again, I don't want to be loud and obnoxious in my videos.
Really helpful for my new 3000 I got for cosplaying (using it to sand down EVA foam fast and detailed) - thank you for this really easy to understand video!
I normally work in metals and have a very old Dremel which works. I am thinking of upgrading to a newer model but really having trouble figuring out which one to buy, 3000, 4000, 4300, all seem to have various "kit packages" with attachments, different current ratings, etc. My question is can you suggest a particular model which may be better for working on metals? No not trying to cut through 3/8 steel either, just clean-up and perhaps light cuts on machined parts.
I haven't tried the 3000, but I think any of those you listed would probably be fine for your applications. For example I could barely tell the difference when switching from the 4000 to the 4300. I just wouldn't go smaller with something like a Dremel lite or a Stylo for example.
Great video, thanks for sharing. My Dremel is working with hiccups, On and Off after using for approximately 30 hours total. I did checked for loose connections, still braking when working. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance🙏
This is a great video! Tysm! Just wanted ti mention if they make “cut gloves” with rubber grip you’d never cut your hands 😃 (typically used in kitchens)
Got my first Dremel in the early 60s, brown plastic body. Have worn out a half dozen. Still one of my most used tools to this day. Get the variable speed model, you’ll be glad you did!
Yeah I agree they could last longer, but to counter normal sand paper doesn’t last long on a 1x1 inch. You could try buying bulk off-brand ones since they’re really inexpensive so blowing through them isn’t as much of an issue.
Thank you-I’m absolutely new to this world-trying to use it on my ceramic/pottery hobby-which is also new 🤦♀️ but i have some bumps to sand down and have heard people using this tool. Thx again for sharing & being so patient!
I recently was gifted a dremel with a flex shaft, and I haven't used it but once. Those red cutting wheels are dangerous! I had two them pretty much explode into pieces when I tried to use them, so I kinda put my dremel away. 😣 Thanks for the video! I might give it another try, but with that reinforced cutting wheel, which I didn't know existed. 😊👍 I will subscribe to your channel!! Any chance you can do a video on the router made for a dremel tool??
i bought a 4300.... after 3/4 uses the lock button made a clunk noise and wouldnt lock the chuck.... i sent it back to amazon for repair... they said they repaired it. sent it back... and i shit you not... they just blanked the button out LOL. needless to say i got a refund.... might try the new cordless one...
Hey, question. What toolhead/accessory do you use for fine detail, like the eyebrows of the toothy bat-looking guy in the last shot? Thanks for the straightforward no-nonsense instructional video!
I have a tungsten carbide bit that has a 90ish degree angle at the tip (wide, flat top), so if you angle it where just the corner hits the wood and drag it carefully you can carve "hair," hope that helps!
ok I just got a dremel craft tool and can't figure out how to put the accessories on-I can loosen the chuck and tighten it but when I put the sanding accessory in it falls out even after chuck is tightened.
That's strange. Not so sure. I have a video on changing bits on my second channel (Log's carving club plus) if you'd like to check that out. It's more in-depth than this one for that.
A good video for beginners. I recently purchased a new cordless Dremel and wouldn't own another because of where the shaft lock is located. Too easy to depress when it's running. Terrible design.
Great job! So glad you didn't do a bunch of hype music and graphics. (Thank you!) I bought the Dremel 4300 yesterday because I need it to grind down several inside corner pieces of faux thin brick so that they fit much better on the corners of the wall. I wanted to know what each one of the attachments/accessories were really for. You really helped! Thank you! Love your carvings, by the way!
I haven’t tried anything else but I’m also curious to try new things. How did they break? I’ve had one fail when I was probably putting too much pressure on it but it was under warranty so it was replaced for free.
I'm trying to modify a tiny house model, I've never done anything of the kind before, but I'm obsessed, and I have a sh!t load of tiny bits and pieces to widen, and the lady an my hardware store sold me this...I'm a little intimidated, but this video is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much for posting it, I promise if I manage to injure myself I won't blame you!
A agree that a vice is likely safer, I’d just personally rather take the risk for convenience when I carve. Also gloves are controversial, since many say if a glove gets caught it can cause more harm than protection. I’d rather risk a cut than risk breaking a finger
Can you suggest the best grinding tool to use with my Dremel 100 series? I convert vintage clip earrings to pierced. When I cut the clip off I can't get close enough with my snips and there is always a ridge of sharp metal remaining. I need to grind this down so I not only can attach the post but make it safe, and comfortable, for the wearer. Thank you.
Great video! I need to cut a template out of a this sheet of wood, may1/4 inch thick, what should I use for that? It’s a template to make a reindeer out of an 8 inch section of 2x4.
Hi - I’d probably start with something like the 561 to get a rough cut, then get it closer to the line with a tungsten carbide burr, then finally get it up to the line with a nice 90 degree edge with a drum sanding bit.
Just picked up a dremel kit with 40 pieces at a local pawn shop for $20. Its all remarkably simple. Pretty much idiot proof because I figured out the function and use of every part by looking at them but used the video to confirm my conclusions. Great starter guide
@@LogsCarvingClub I've always wanted one and just never got around to grabbing one. I purchased some vintage audio equipment a while back and I'd like to try improving the finish on a few parts, especially a black plastic remote control, so I'd like to do some smoothing and polishing. Also, years ago I installed some small floating shelves into a column of wood that separates two windows of my apartment and while attempting to remove them I can't get the screws out. They're so tight and the phillips heads stripped while trying to get them out. I bought an inexpensive screw extractor kit but it's not working. So I'm going to try cutting the screws flush, then using a grinder tip to remove enough of the stuck screws so I can put some wood filler over it and then try to hide the holes. I'm more of a nerd than a DIYer so if you have any tips I'm all ears. Thanks again.
I recently purchased a dremel for mostly engraving. It has no turn dial for tork speed. On the label on the tool says Dremel 2050. There wasn't an instruction guide on how to use & what the bits are for. For now I wanting to engrave my name on curtain things such as my yeti cup, wood, plastic & etc. Please help! Thank you Rhonda
Hi, I have a video about bits and burrs if you’d like to check that out. I would probably use the 84922 at around 20k rpm for engraving metal, the spherical engraver at around 20-30k rpm for wood, I’m not sure about plastic I usually avoid it since it can melt and gum up the bits, but maybe try a slower speed to avoid that
Hi thank you for a very informative and interesting video, full of useful tips and ideas, I have been using Dremels for years and still learned things from your video, never too old learn something new👍👍😂 I have just found your channel and have subscribed, I will continue to browse through your back catalog and will leave favourable feedback in due course. Thanks again Take care Sam
Yeah you could use the 562 or EZ545HP bits for example, but it's hard to get really clean lines with Dremels unless you have steady hands and patience.
Hola, buenas tardes. Felicitaciones por su video. Pero..., debería desbloquear la función que permite guardar. esta función usted la tiene bloqueada para terceros. You have blocked that function that allows us to save your videos on our page, in a folder (it is a quick shortcut). please unlock. Saludos desde Panamá.
I am an electrician and I have never used any polishing attachments that came with my Dremel. But what I did find was the cutting discs are ideal for cutting plastic mini trunking and the sanding drums are great for cutting cable entry slots on plastic switch boxes. Never go on a job without it now.
To the Point, Precise, most impressive video I've ever watched because of the easy explanation and teachings you show. AMAZING, GREAT JOB! Your my new mentor! Thank you
I don't have a stylo, but to my understanding the stylo is smaller, lighter, and has a lower top speed. It basically seems better for small detail work.
Many thanks for your video Sir. I normally don't like American productions as there is usually too much waffling, with long crass introductions and cheesy goodbyes, but yours was accurate and concise. 👍
I'm on my second dremel actually. Last one, the bearing were bad, and you can't order just the bearing - you need to order the entire shaft actually.. Which cost almost as much as a new Dremel! I have used my own on just about all materials, have a big "tool kit" for it, including diamond covered cutting discs. The one we have it work, is the same as shown on the video. I do not have a toggle on/off switch. -And remember, do use protective gear: half or full face mask for metal, wood or plast dust. Good eye protection.
I had the 4000 die on me too - couldn’t figure it out myself. Luckily it was within warranty and dremel ended up sending me a brand new 4300. I agree protection is very important, I’m especially conscious of trying not to breath in dust.
