I’m a retired dental technician with 38 years of experience. I recommend not cross contaminating you buffing wheels. Cleaning them also wears them out quickly. Another thing that you might try is using, say, a 1/2 to 3/4” mounted soft polishing brush before lying heavy pressure on you item. Robinson is a good brand. That removes a lot of detail on something like your dime. The Flitz is a great product, as well. The red rouse is normally very fine for a final shine if you aren’t using Flitz. I have polished thousands of gold crowns and jewelry casings.

Here’s an idea: You could use a stencil (or use tape to make out a shape) and polish only the exposed areas to make a design (on a flat piece of metal for example). That way you could make a shiny, polished design against an unpolished background.

[@DennisHicks78749]

It is better to change buffing wheels when you change buffing solution. Cleaning it that way won’t remove all of the initial compound. Polishing is a process of progressing to smaller and smaller grit compound, just like sand paper. So you keep a wheel dedicated to the compound it had initially applied to it.

[@philhemenway3503]

I color code my Dremel buffs with a Sharpie pen.

[@DennisHicks78749]

@@philhemenway3503 that works! Good suggestion. Too bad few viewers will see it. Any method of assuring only one type of compound ever touches the buffing pad is essential. Also, he didn’t specify the type of mask required. In my jewelry fab class we had to use N95 masks for polishing. Now I use an N99.

Excellent video, in the process of restoring/refurbishing a vintages sewing machine and trying to get the scratches out of the metal,parts and get them all shiny again has been a challenge.

[@jdisdetermined]

Great tip about working clean. I do paint correction professionally, and working clean and controlling residue is the key to success. I like the Flix, it's very good for light jobs, great for lightly polishing glass. It has a long working time for refining, but the cut leaves something to be desired. I have the stick stuff too, but I usually just use the 3D ACA compound I use for paint correction to cut and then finish with any polish I happen to grab. I use CarPro Metallicut for high end work. Works incredibly well for both cut and finish. It's perfect for DIY guys, but not very cost efficient if you're a professional. Thanks for the video!👍👌✌

[@keithmcmullen9737]

I just don't see much difference wen it comes to the nano amount of cross contamination. I guess it's one of the things You have to experience ur self.

[@jdisdetermined]

@@keithmcmullen9737 For me that mostly applies to the paint correction side. You can lose consistency and cut effectiveness and it can also be very difficult to finish down if you don’t work clean. Metal polishing isn’t nearly as sensitive to it, and it breaks abrasives down fast anyway. If you’re trying to highly refine softer material like brass or gold it can be a factor.

[@adams.9029]

When you switch compounds you should switch pads. It's cross contamination regardless of cleaning it with a knife. It's easier just to swap pads out

[@johnbrevard5966]

Adam, yes, in a perfect world that holds, but in a situation like we are viewing here, there is absolutely Zero reasons to worry over a Cross Contamination issue. But if you insist on telling someone something, do it in an asking manner, Like: Hey Adam, beautiful job, when you are working on something to achieve the best results do you bother to change to new buff pads or no.. DONE

[@adams.9029]

John Merlino that was a helpful and beautifully written comment, but wouldn't it be helpful to put this knowledge out to the people watching it to gain knowledge and information on how to correctly polish anything with a Dremel? using best common practices? Like switching the the super cheap polishing pads out, in between compounds so you don't cross contaminate... wasting time, energy and frustration... because you'll only wind up re-doing it, and risk ruining whatever you're trying polish.... get frustrated, quit and then questioning yourself and ability's because you just keep doing it wrong? And quit the DIY scene because your a failure.... because you can't do something as simple as polishing this stupid little coin!!! With a stupid little Dremel!!! No matter what you do! Your not getting the results your trying to achieve? And then say screw it! And pay someone to do it right.... that's all... but thanks for the tip... noted. I do see your point tho. I'm a viewer not a creator so your right.. it takes stones to put your self out and make videos... it doesn't to write a comment... so Your for sure correct. I will for sure keep this in mind from now on. Thank you

[@mr_s7815]

Whatever man he still got the results he wanted.

[@rgsmith71]

Nah. Looks like he accomplished the task at hand without wasting pads.

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

Polishing is just removing scratches, this is why you start coarse and go progressively finer. The really fine compounds leave ‘scratches’ that are invisible to the eye. They may even be smaller that the wavelengths of visible light You can reuse pads as long as you ALWAYS use an old pad with a coarser compound otherwise you are putting back new ‘scratches' that you have just polished out!

[@donnamealy4877]

Thank you! I never knew about being able to clean the felt wheels.

[@danielmeecham464]

Hey, thank you very much for the great video! Due to a lot of grinding and cutting, I have actually over-worked about five dremels to death and had to replace them, but they're great! Dremel makes a robust rotary tool. For example last just month, I put on an over-sized wood blade on and cut off the running boads off my 2006 Ford Explorer because the mounting bolts were rusted to the clips. I've tried a few times to sand metal things to a polish but failed for lack of know-how. This video was excellent with it's plain language instruction, clear demonstration as well as its inclusion of it's list of parts, accessories, and compounds. I will now be picking up a clamping vice and other items you used. Now I`m anxious to get started on a bunch of my other projects. Well Done Man!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Hey Daniel! Sounds like a fun project! I am glad the video helped you and gave you good insight!

[@kevinbaker2470]

Wtf, how big of a blade did you put on to be able to cut running boards? 2 1/2", 3"? And which arbor did you use if ya don't mind me asking. 20 bucks for a cutoff tool at HF, angle or dye grinder would be my thought process.dremel ftw

[@danielmeecham464]

Hi Kevin, The whole freak'n running board is mostly plastic, except for a few heavy guage metal brackets. I couldn't use a regular hand grinder because it'd make a big mess of burning plastic. So I used a dremel with a wood blade that was about 1 3/4" in diameter. I got the blades from Princess Auto. The problem there was that a few times when the blade started spinning, the blade went to a wobble and the arbor alarmingly bent ninety degrees with the blade still attached -- ready to fly off as a surprise shuriken. So I found 1 1/4" mini wood blade that did not wobble and spin off. It took about two hours of carefully cutting the plastic for both running boards, and about another hour or so grinding off the metal brackets. It was a little dodgy at times ( I seriously recommend safety glasses), and I smoked the dremel. But, it was well worth the effort because getting in and out of my truck is a lot easier and there is no longer a rust maker/holder.

[@bigchungus-oj8zz]

I learned something today. I was applying rouge with the tool off, I threw the felt pad away instead of cleaning it, and my rpm’s were too high. Thank you, subd.

[@riteshprasad4103]

So when I decided I would like to try some wood carving, kzbin.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR I went all out and got the best Dremel I could find. I quickly discovered that carving just by hand is a long process (and painful on the hands). Rotary tools can all basically do the same things, but this one has two particular features that set it apart. First, you can use it much more dextrously since it doesn't have a power cord pulling on it. You can also take it anywhere without pulling an extension cord along with you. It's hard to overestimate the benefit of this. You'd think that you'd have to sacrifice some power for this, but this Dremel has a very strong and long-lasting battery and it charges quickly. Secondly, while most rotary told have a few speed settings, this Dremel has a sliding scale, from very slow to extremely fast. This thing can do about a million different jobs, but I would point out one drawback, which is certainly not unique to Dremel, is that it's a small chore to change out the different tips.

I haven't tested them (aka 'em 🤭) out yet, but I just wanted to pass the info on to you. (I got them at two different 99¢ Only Stores, which carry mostly similar items; just an FYI, and to highlight the convenience of picking such items up in different locations). I don't like not being able to pick up stuff that's either discontinued or out of stock (which is common for such stores, because they aren't like traditional retailers that carry a steady stock of the same brand/type of merchandise) like these that so I always plan to avoid this problem.

[@foxtrottango8745]

Your wheel cleaning method is close to how I use to clean a large buffer at my fathers sheet metal shop, we made kitchen equipment for Cruise Ships at the Port of Miami, and hotels and restaurants suck as the Marriott. As mentioned in another comment, changing buffing wheels is needed when you change compounds. Also on large grain surfaces, if the grain is running left to right you hold you buffing wheel parallel to the grain but move the wheel up and down. This polishes without changing the direction of the grain... and don’t over polish because you can actually remove the grain. Keep up the good videos 👍😀👍

You can literally use it to polish up car paint, all the metal parts of the car, you can use it to refurbish your yellow/dim headlights (wetsand with fine grit paper, bring them up to clarity again with the Flitz), you can polish fiberglass boats with it, it's just an incredibly useful allround polishing compound. And for slightly larger polishing jobs they sell somewhat expensive but very good viscose "buff balls" with no exposed metal on the end, so you can get into nooks and crannies on vehicles without worrying about scratching stuff.

Then polish with the Never Dull and wipe and buff with clean cotton rags. That method will give you a shine that you can see a detailed reflection in. When it’s possible to use lots of water on what your polishing Brillo pads instead of plain steel wool works great. Just be sure to rub stuff in the same direction each time when trying to remove scratches, this will save you some elbow grease when you polish with the Never Dull. A tight circular motion when using the Never Dull also. Dremals are fine, but for important things, do it by hand , that dremal spins fast and that little sharp point end on the mandrel can cause terrible scratches with a slip of your hand. I thought you mentioned polishing something important. The steel wool/never dull way has never let me down, so I though I would mention this since your comment was so new. Hope it helps maybe, good luck!

Thank you. I learned so much and will begin experimenting or better with my dremel.

They make small cloth buffing wheels too that work wonders! Less abrasive than the felt ones i find. Great tips!

Can’t say how much I agree with the lung and eye protection. Learned both the hard way. You totally won’t think you are inhaling anything (I honestly didn’t) but after a few times feeling sick the next day and (and sometimes having black boogers from the stuff caught in my nose) my slow brain made the connection. That’s to say nothing of the potential for long term damage. Eyes - same thing. Especially off brand dremmel tips flying apart or debris I’ve been hit in the eye several times with small pieces (which is unpleasant) and had large pieces go zipping off at 200mph after they get unbalanced and break several times. All it takes is once for that large piece to hit my eye. IM super hard headed but because these are hobbyists tools we tend to think they’re inherently safe. They have serious dangers. Nothing a simple mask and glasses can’t fix. I know that wearing masks is all political now. But my gut tells me that hauking up a black tinged lougie is probably an indication of poor life choices.

[@RICDirector]

Yup. Another 'safe' thing that can darn near kill you is working with mealworms unprotected. I would love to be able to breathe freely and well once again!....

Hey there! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Good stuff, my man! I need to incorporate this more into my workflow. Been using lots and lots of sanding sponges and MicroMesh lately, but any time I've gotten really nice polishes, it was with "movable" abrasives like aluminum oxide powder or buffing compounds. Really gets into the details and makes a difference. Has always been worth it, but I always think "Man, I don't want to get all the Dremel stuff out." :D Which makes me think... I need to just KEEP the Dremel out, always on standby. ;) Thank you for what you do!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you for your comment CrafsMan! haha yes! I know what you mean! I have to keep all my Dremel's and accessories out because I use them all the time. I been working on my organization since there are so many accessories 😂. I appreciate your kind comment. Thank YOU for what you do CrafsMan! -Matt

[@BigHenFor]

Hello! I love your work and your unique presentation. You might even find it useful to set up a little Polishing and Finishing station if you have a Dremel with a hanging loop attached. If you have a suitable electrical outlet, you could hang up your Dremel and use it as a pendant motor - like a Foredom if you get the handpiece and drive train attachment. Hung up it's out the way of your working surfaces, and you can attach your mops to the handpiece to help with the finishing and polishing. It's how jewellers and watchmakers setup their motors because it allows you to work in a relatively small space and have your motor to hand. You can also get stands to hang it up from which either stand on the floor, or can be clamped down on a table edge. Dremel might make these, or you can buy them. Avoid the cheap telescopic ones though as they aren't very strong. Hope this helps.

When polishing plastic and aluminium, be careful not to put too much heat into it, as it will melt the surface.

Thank you for this great informative video . I just bought a Dremel tool and set on eBay but hasn't been delivered yet. I own a 1982 SL380 Mercedes that I'm restoring . I was going to buy all new body and top trim but decided to give a try at polishing them first; since they are straight , with no scratches and dents . Can the " Flitz " compound and the buffers you used , be used on aluminum trim ? Thanks for the tip on safety , compounds and cleaning the buffers too. Best Regards

[@CorneliusCreations]

Right on! Yes the Flitz should be able to be used on the aluminum. Also, check out a legit buffing wheel at your local harbor freight or hardware store.

[@thaddeauscaldwell7101]

@@CorneliusCreations thank you . I received the Dremel and I purchased some wool pads online like the ones you used in your video . I screwed the dremel in the pad and then applied Fritz. I used the Dremel at 5,000 rpm and after about 30 seconds , the wool pad was turning freely on the mandrel. The pad was no longer locked in place . What are your thoughts on this ? Can I use a mandrel on the pads , similar to the one that is used for 1/2 sanding disks ? Where there's a screw on the end of the mandrel . I bought several hundred wool pads and didn't want to waste money I spent on them . I will go to harbor freight and check out what they have . What would you consider a legit pad ?
