You are my new Hero! Thank you for such detail - i bought a Dremel but instuctions so poor i was unable to work it! So now i can! May your house always be filled with love and security! 🥰👏👍

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You are welcome!

[@brasil33]

Thank you SO MUCH! Your video instructions are clear and very easy to follow. (Without any distracting music added!) 👍🏼👏🏼

Glad it helped! 👍😃

I'm a beginner using a rotary tool. I've found Your video very informative , and moral boosting. Thanks! .

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You will be the Master in future.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Great to hear!

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Thank you very much for your video. I could not remember how to use my dremel until I watched this. I just made the most awesome cat shelter in half the time it took me before. Blessings and thanks again, and thanks from the little feral cat who will benefit from your lesson.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks Sir. :-) Dremel is Star

[@TerryMasri]

You sound like Dracula! LOL Based on my experience, I think you should use the lowest speed for plastics in order to prevent plastic from overheating and melting, resulting in a cleaner cut IMHO.

[@thatguy6344]

Thanks this was helpful

[@ThePiprian]

When I try using lower speeds my dremel starts jumping around and it gets almost impossible to get an accurate cut.

[@LeviBulger]

Definitely lower speed, maybe around 10k RPM and apply enough pressure so it doesn't skip around.

[@mandymcclay]

I think no $hits are given when he's working lol WoW

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi. Thanks for the tips.

[@ricklee4513]

Yes I can see he is wearing the safety gloves.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good

[@forgottenknowledge8917]

That's how I wear them

[@taymeekoopthanaroj1632]

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzbin.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_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.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Great 👍😀

[@NWforager]

thanks for this . i watched it years ago . and just now again as a refresher! so thank you again !

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@parrots4life74]

Thank you. Im confident I can cut neatly with a dremel now :)

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks you. Glad it helped.

HI. I support your career.

Excellent job Peter! Please use Dremel Multitool to sand the edges a little bit!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You are Welcome. :-)

Hi Peter. I'm a new sub to your channel. Thank you for teaching me how to cut hard plastic using a dremel tool. Peace to you! 🤣🙆‍♀️🕊

I wanted to know what would be a good small dremel tool that cut 5.31” cut out cricle for 6.5 150watt marine speaker on both plastic ammo box and plastic toolbox that not expensive for beginer ?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment.😊👍

[@Orionrobots]

As an experiment - I tried drilling with a Dremel as opposed to a cordless drill body (trigger grip style) or a pin vise. I found it a bit awkward and cumbersome - definitely not a task the Dremel is entirely suited to. I have been experimenting with cutting different plastics and materials with the Dremel. Be warned that some make a rancid smell if they more melt than cut.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

HI. Thanks for your information.

[@davidstrickland6428]

Dremel 575 right angle attachment makes this even more convenient.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

[@vaibhavaher7985]

Nice video. Could you please also explain how to make small slots in plastic? (say 3mm length and 0.5mm wide slot in 5mm thick plastic)

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi. Good idea.

[@johnwagner4559]

Use lower speed to cut plastic and don't press so hard... You'll wear out the disc...

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok

[@indiferreira7258]

Thanks! I had no idea what disc to use!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad I could help!

[@arielelijah1282]

Hi is it okay to use sanding disk to cut plastic like ABS.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@mandymcclay]

Haha Holy $#!t how have you still got fingers and thumbs?!? I was seriously having kittens watching that :-o but 100% thee best tutorials ever rough and ready lol

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Right?! I know this video is funny and also informative.

[@andrewmorton9683]

I liked the way it looked like you were cutting a hole in the box for something, maybe to fit an extra tool in there, and then it turned out that you were only using the plastic to make something else 😆

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

👍😀

[@joeycottontailakajoeschmo3366]

I forgot to use my earplugs to watch this. I can't hear anything but your voice now.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok

[@snoggingmoise668]

Hi, I have to cut out an oval shape out of a pvc tube. If the tube is standing up straight I have to cut out the shape horizontally. The diameter of the tube is 20 centimeters. Do you think I can do that with a Dremel rotary tool?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes. 👍

[@snoggingmoise668]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor But do you think it will look nice? I know I'll need to sand it anyway but do you think I can cut a nice, "straight" oval shape if I follow the lines that I'll draw on the tube?

[@andrewjarvis7777]

YOU DID IT! GREAT WORK!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank you!! 😁

Could you have decided what disk you were going to use before you started filming please !

Hello, I read Your comment. Thanks. 👍😀

Trapping the cable, like that, is a No-No - and it will not be waterproof. [IP44 requirement]

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Great info to hear and Many Thanks. :-)

[@myfragilelilac]

What about the chemicals that comes out from the plastic? I cut in a toy today with dremel for an art project and I was a bit concerned about that.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Work outside and with 3M mask

[@dannietuggle8954]

This was a great video. I like that you explain everything.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

I appreciate that!

[@kaijuk]

Any tips how to remove melted plastic from my Dremel diamond tip sanding burrs please, I used a diamond saw disc and small burrs to cut and smooth some hard plastic on a hard plastic figure I'm making modifications to and the plastic is the hard kind but not brittle, it melts when hot and has become moulded hard to my metal sanding burr tips and saw disc... Any ideas? 🤔 Thanks in advance 😊✌🏻

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, please use hot gun or small fire flames. Blow things away.

[@kaijuk]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor thank you I'll get straight to it 👍🏻😊✌🏻

[@kevinkall8547]

you showed those protective gloves...

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for your comment👍😀

[@freeNode5]

you can buy cheap plastic cutting-board made for food. It is much cheaper plastic material than replacing your toolbox for material

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good comment 👍

Intelligent men are so very attractive.

Thanks 🙂

[@Imissthefuhrer]

I find that these tiny disks for rotary tools are utterly useless and break so easy. Just use a big boy cut off wheel on a angle grinder. These mini disks are pretty dangerous.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi and Thanks for feedback. :-)

[@mustardbrown]

ImisstheFührer Try the milwaukee discs on their rotary tool. Just as strong as my 4 1/2” angle grinder. i was pleasantly surprised...

[@jordandougherty5715]

I would have re used the same hole, other then that nice job.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You are most welcome

[@Nelson484]

Looks like it is very hard to cut at the straight angle since the cutting wheel is so small so you always have a bit of an angle.

[@cyberluke]

I bought right angle attachment - 575

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Right 👍

[@MilesToRoam85]

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes, some things are messy

[@johnson554671]

Sorry brother, too much work. I would of just prepped up that piece of plastic on a vertical band saw, and much cleaner cut. But thanks for posting.
