Thanks. You have saved me a lot of time. I bought a Dremel kit with a ton of accessories. The manual that came with it requires a map, GPS and Alchemy to navigate.
Thank you for posting this. I bought one these starter kits today and it did not include the instructions on how to fasten the wheel to the arbor thing-a-ma-bob. Thanks to you I got my project completed.
My instructions told me to put the mandrel into the Dremel prior to putting the cutting wheel on, but that wasn't working. I did it this way before putting it into the Dremel, and it worked great. Thank you!
I like all my dremel tools. Well almost all of them! The EZ attachments are convenient but they are MUCH more expensive than the "regular" mandrels, and I'm enthusiastic by the EZ lock itself. It does not hold the disc as well as the standard mandrel. I had a couple of discs who flied away! Maybe be because I don't use the EZ tool the proper way... Anyway, I should us it the same way I use the conventional mandrel One other tool I do not use: the mini circular saw... I used it a couple of time, but it is too Scary and unsafe. At least, it is my "point of vue" Good video, instructive one too!
I cut through a steel drill bit on setting 2 yesterday, just wonder if people who had discs fly off are cutting at too high a rate. It is surely better to cut metal at lower speeds and take a bit more time, that is my thoughts on it anyway.
Is there a way you can visually tell whether or not a used metal cutting wheel is no longer capable of cutting properly and should be discarded, other than trial and error?
How do you install the clear cutting shield when the light piece is in place? I’m having difficulty figuring out how to remove the light so that I can remove the nose cap and install the metal cutting blade. Thanks!
So it's been 3 years. Any lessons learned or follow up? I've seen comments that the shield is only marginally effective and that it slips and doesn't stay in place. Also if you use the universal quick connect the blade extends beyond the shield. Finally, after cutting metal the shield gets scratched and pitted such that you can no longer see through it.
@@lupojacobo9892if operated with the proper safety gear there is actually nothing unsafe about this at all. Plenty of people who use them all the time with no problem it’s about as dangerous as a regular sized metal grinder wheel.
Nice informative videos but you keep repeating yourself with the safety advice. I assume that most of the people watching your videos have a minimum knowledge of safety. They’re not idiots but hobbyists or professionals
I just watched a video prior to this one warning about the poor design of the EZ402 mandrel, and just how dangerous its design is. Allegedly while this RUclipsr was using a cutting wheel at 25,000 rpms (although it was rated for use up to 35,000 rpms), the cutting wheel managed to dislodge itself from the mandrel and came shooting out barely missing him! He strongly advises not to use one of these EZ Lock mandrels. ruclips.net/video/YLJj8zsRKis/видео.html
yeah i read that from Ken too. so immediately went out the garage and looked at mine. granted, pressure horizontally does push the wheel off center a bit. i know this so i cut with no pressure forward or backward. when i checked out how to alleviate this situation, i found a piece of rubber tubing that will fit over the back side of the e-z setup. i cut it short enough that when i tighten the tool into the collet pulling back enough to put some pressure on the back side of the mandrel, it puts enough pressure to stop the movement he speaks of. works like a charm at it doesn't allow any. test driving it, i am satisfied that it works. thanks Ken.....
I've never had a disc fly off for the 6 years I've used it. What I've seen is that people use force on it. Don't. Let the tool do the work. It's not necessary to apply pressure.
Just yesterday my cutting wheel dislodged and came flying towards me, it missed me, but now I know not to put force on these EZ lock accessories while cutting.

Thanks for watching, I am glad the video was helpful!

Thank you for the video; it was beneficial for a novice like me!!! Keep the videos coming.
thanks for being clear and promoting safety
I was struggling so much to put this on! Thank you SO much for your help 🙏

Yes. The wheel diameter will be noticeably smaller.

I love these things!
I want to shorten bbq skewers about 23mm wide. Do you think I need an angle gridner or would this work?
Very clear explanation. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the feedback!
Well put together and informative.

Mine cutting wheel doesn’t fit in the cullet it came with
IT says this side up?
Thanks for this
Thanks for watching!
This cutoff wheel sucks. I just used it. It came apart on metal.
Great video but...
Holy shit Colin Robinson!
Nice Shadows reference
Those are very unsafe,,,dont know what Dremel was thinking but not safety thats for sure
Totally agree with you

Very dangerous attachment
DONT BUY ....Every one I've bought the cutting wheel broke from the mandril and cutting wheel came flying off
I've used them for 6 years. Non has flown off.
I've never had the Dremel brand shatter or break but the cheap ones on Amazon have shattered every time I tried them even on plastic

Little bit too much safety stuff other than that great video

Same thing happened to me. Not a fan.
