I tried this a few days ago, and it worked well. One thing I noticed, however, is that the outside edge of the discs wear out but just behind the portion that's worn out is fresh material. So I made them a little larger, and when the outside of the disc wore out, I just snipped around the edges and I was good to go again. They still wear out quickly, but it will give you a little more mileage out of each one.
Thanks for sharing this info. I've been doing it for years. Nice to see I wasn't the only one. I do something similar with the abrasive disks in a stack as they wear out.
3 things: 1. Awesome vid RK. I appreciate you! 2. Have you ever made them, let's say, twice the diameter. 3. First thing I thought was, great place to use a Taiwan deep well socket, sharpened on the outside, as the the punch.
Now that's something I never thought of doing. Thanks for the tip! I had a problem with my Dremel always running full speed, but a little electrical contact cleaner on the switch cured that for me.
Hey RK, I was just at a Swap last Sunday , and pick up another size of one of these punches . Guess I'll get a full set in 20 years . Going to take them to a sharpening shop and have the ones I have touched up .
I tried that out today and it works really good. I am too lazy to cut out circles so I just put about 2x2" squares on the tip. They round themselves off as well and it works just as good. It's important to use washers though to spread the torque of the Dremel.
I go through a bunch of those abrasive disks, when cleaning up lawn tractor , and small implement wheels. That's the only tool that can get inside the hub.
I have learned a lot of tips from your videos but this is by far the most useful to me. I still think you need a pneumatic pencil grinder instead of the huge electric Dremel, however. Thanks Road King.
Great tip! I use my Dremel all the time, and that will be a big money saver. Somewhere I have a 1" hole punch. I will try to find it today, to put with my Dremel stuff.
That's great,,, I have done that before. Also, you can make mini buffers, sanders,,, geez I really love that tool. Even though I still have to plug mine in the wall lol.
Thank you for the great tip, I'll give it a try once I replace my Dremel, I just killed my old one but it lasted 16 years so I'm not complaining, also it means I will have more mandrels to use :-)
I think a drive gear gave up, I haven't taken it apart yet. The motor still works but there is no drive and little bits of something came out from air vents near the top. I'll strip it anyway just to see what happened but I've been a little busy recently. My friends lawnmower repairs business had to shut down after being open for more than 100 years and we have had to clear the place out. Unfortunately it is in the UK otherwise I'd have asked you to come and get any bits you needed.
First of all. Love you love the show. This is a clever idea and I like the how to style from time to time. This isn’t criticism by any means but I think you invest in a soda blaster. They got cheap ones at harbor freight
Hi Everette i have also seen that trick done with sand paper as many layers as you can fit to make flappy disks for both dremil or drill your was a great reminder for me to get around to making some . i also have seen people make replacement drum sander umm sander drums? if you know what i mean. Tony from Western Australia
In the North of England at least we always referred to them as wad punches. Really for any job where holes or disks are needed in softish material. Leather, lead, gasket material, rubber, etc.
Wad Punches in England RS sell them £26. uk.rs-online.com/web/p/punch-sets/5417223/ I've used them as well to make silicon washers as you can cut a large one then cut a hole in the middle. Those silicon baking trays make ideal material.
Hey thank you very much for the tip I think pretty much anybody can do that and use it while they're doing their own jobs at home so Thank you very much
They're generally traditionally known as Wad Punches in the North of England. Or used to be. I doubt most folk have ever seen one let alone know the name or used one.
So I made this and I’ve never really messed with these tiny wheels but the Scotch-Brite keeps melting and sticking to the metal and sending shards of melted scotch bright sticking to my arm, am I just being too aggressive or is the normal green kitchen Scotch-Brite not the right stuff?
Hello Rk, Can you tell me where you find new rings for the Hit & Miss engines or possibly parts, is there a company name or business you guys buy from! Any help would be Appreciated. Thanks Buddy 👍
The units as well. $20 at Walmart you get 1.5 amp 7 speeds 8-35k rpm 105 piece kit and two year warranty if it breaks bring your reciept and get another. For $2 more you can purchase another 2 year's on top of it. They have a 200 piece bit kit for $10 as well. With everything. Can't even get a 20 piece dremel kit for that. Most Dremels are . 85 to 1.15 amp. The 4000 is 1.8 amp. And is $70+ 1.5 is decent. I'd take 4 of them instead of one 4000. And many other brands sell the same unit. Goxanee sells a 2.4 amp unit that takes up to 6mm like a die grinder. For $30 Hilda makes a 2 amp unit. For 6mm I go to a electric die grinder. 4.3 amps. But you can get the DeWalt dwe660 drywall cut out tool takes 1/8 and 1/4 collets and 5.5 amps brand new $55 Single speed so limited on bits but can always put a controller in it. Rotozip as well which is made by Dremel 5 amps. Can do some serious grinding with those things won't bog down. Same price even cheaper used for them. What's really neat if you need some power is grab a drill Chuck for a angle grinder from China for a few bucks and you'll have 10-12k rpm and 6-13 amps that will power through whatever. They make more expensive collets for angle grinder. Drill Chuck is the cheapest method and your not limited in size. That one tool with that attachment can do anything needed basicslly worth the money spent
Cool!! Magdad has a great channel!! I checked your stuff out and subbed, I liked what I seen!! I had a 65 Spitfire that was so rotted you couldn't open both doors at once, it would bend in half!!☺
I don't learn much from you usually , I have been around, but sometimes you do have some great tips, this being one of them. Now there is another way to cut them, and if you would double up the scotch pads or stack a few together and place them between two pieces of wood, and take them to your drill press and use a hole saw without the drill and start the drill pressure slow on the hole saw till it starts and just plunge thru the wood and you will have what ever size you want.
357magdad sent me here. Appreciate you making this video. Really well done. Thanks.
Thanks Bud!! We appreciate you checkin' us out!!☻
This is a great hack for one of the best Dremel accessories that generally doesn't last long in operation.

Thanks Dan!! Never made them bigger but I'm sure they would work fine!! And that deep socket is a great idea!!☺
Great idea, even better video. Awesome content, straight to the point, wish more RUclipsrs made videos the way you do! Thanks!
Absolutely smashing idea , love it bud. 👍
Glad you like it Buddy!!☺
This is awesome and it’s gonna save me a ton of money thanks!
OK RK I will do this. I love my little rotary tool thingy.
I know you like to save money too Bud!!☺
Now that's something I never thought of doing. Thanks for the tip! I had a problem with my Dremel always running full speed, but a little electrical contact cleaner on the switch cured that for me.

Thanks for the tip. That is going to save me lots of money.
Hey RK, I was just at a Swap last Sunday , and pick up another size of one of these punches . Guess I'll get a full set in 20 years . Going to take them to a sharpening shop and have the ones I have touched up .
You'll have a whole set before ya know it!! I see them at every Flea Market I hit!!☺
Great idea! Thanks for sharing this.

Good DIY vid. Worth watching. Love putting my dremel to use this is a good tip.
That's an awesome trick, thanks for sharing!
I have learned a lot of tips from your videos but this is by far the most useful to me. I still think you need a pneumatic pencil grinder instead of the huge electric Dremel, however. Thanks Road King.
I have a pencil grinder, I'd rather use the Dremel!! I use the pencil grinder with carbide tips and where we need the super high speed!!☺
Just tried that with homemade sandpaper disks, works great.
Great tip! I use my Dremel all the time, and that will be a big money saver. Somewhere I have a 1" hole punch. I will try to find it today, to put with my Dremel stuff.
Yeah I use my Dremel for everything!!☺
I'm onboard with this idea for sure. Thanks, Buddy.
Cool!!☺
Hey Roadking, do you have a custom vinyl sticker guy you use? I might be wrong, but I thought I recall you mentioning it. @@805ROADKING
It's been quite a while since I ordered any!! It wasn't any particular guy, just a google search!! I think all them places are pretty much the same!!☺
Thanks :)@@805ROADKING
Those Scotch pads work great...The ones I make for my drill have been working good for restoring my old wrenches
Yeah I use them for everything!!☺
Thank you, I'm in a pinch and that's super helpful.
Awesome idea.
Awesome idea on how to make those, you can do sanding discs and your own sanding drums as well.
Yeah Buddy!! The sanding drums are a pain in the balls, they worth buying!!☺
that's a good idea I might even make my own mandrel for it using a allen Button Head 6-32 screw
Great tip RK I will have to remember this. Thanks for sharing buddy
Thanks Bud!!☺
Clever idea sir 👍👍
Thanks Bud!!☺
That's slick man. Well done.
Thanks Mate!!☺
Nice I’ll have to make some of these love my dremel
That's great,,, I have done that before. Also, you can make mini buffers, sanders,,, geez I really love that tool. Even though I still have to plug mine in the wall lol.
Mine still has a plug on it, I like it that way!!☺
Great idea, congrats. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Thank you for the great tip, I'll give it a try once I replace my Dremel, I just killed my old one but it lasted 16 years so I'm not complaining, also it means I will have more mandrels to use :-)
The old dremel might just need brushes, they're pretty tough!!☺

Thanks Vida!!☺
Hey ROADKING, this is a great idea,....How come I didn't think of this before???? Thanks Brother!
Great tip, EJ. I am definitely going to use this one.
Thanks George!! I'm sure it will come in handy on the Railroad!!☺
Excellent tip Roadking, I’ll definitely try it, I enjoy your channel 👍
Thanks Bud!! We appreciate you watching!!☺
,👍👍Nice tip sir
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Why didn't I think of this. THanks!
Very good idea, thanks.
Oh Roadking this is so simple! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for watching Doc!!☺
Another great tip. 👍
Thanks Bud!!☺
Works just as well as the original for a fraction of the cost. I'm in. =)
Sounds like a plan Mate!!☺
Thanks for the idea! Hey does the lower grit pads leave a texture on clean metal?
I use the end grain of the the wood when using hole punches rk! Works beta.
Great tip. Thanks for the video's.
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Thanks Buddy! Great Idea!!!!
Thanks Bud!!☺
now that's a great tip ! Thanks King ..
Thanks Bud!!☺

He has a blasting cabinet. Some glass bead or walnut shell would do just as good of a job and not cost as much as a whole new rig.
neo 71665 I didn’t know he had a cabinet. Yeah you get a fine media to run through it and get those type of parts better than new.
Hi Everette i have also seen that trick done with sand paper as many layers as you can fit to make flappy disks for both dremil or drill your was a great reminder for me to get around to making some . i also have seen people make replacement drum sander umm sander drums? if you know what i mean.

Excellent tip! I'm going to give it a try!
I got one of the Dremels I use it a lot too. Good info thanks.
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Hollow punch RK..Some call 'em hole punches but I call 'em hollow punches...Great idea mate.
Thanks Mate!! What were they originally intended to do!!☺

Sweet idea. I'll have to make my self a few. I usually use the sanding drums. But yours look much cheaper. 👍✔️
I use the sanding drums too, but only on certain stuff!!☺
Thanks mate.
Great tip thank you
Great tip thanks
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Wow...thanks, Roadking!!
They're generally traditionally known as Wad Punches in the North of England. Or used to be. I doubt most folk have ever seen one let alone know the name or used one.
They're all over the place over here!! You can't go to a Flea Market without seeing at least a dozen!!☺
In the UK Radio Spares sells Wad punches in sets, used for sheet metal, paper gasgets etc. Had mine years. Great for this.
Great tip!
Did you use the stock mandrel?
Yeah!!
Ive been doing it the same way for years!
So I made this and I’ve never really messed with these tiny wheels but the Scotch-Brite keeps melting and sticking to the metal and sending shards of melted scotch bright sticking to my arm, am I just being too aggressive or is the normal green kitchen Scotch-Brite not the right stuff?
Good tip!
Thanks Bud!!☺
I like it!
That's right up your alley Bud!!☺
Thank you so much dude
Good tip.
Thanks Bud!!☺
Nice tip there Roadie! Cheers! Zippy~
Thanks Zippity!!☺
Yup that's a leather punch nice one.
Good one broski
Thanks Budski!!☺

Ha... I LOL'd
They are called a wad punch, at least they are in the UK used for punching out wadding, which was used for blackpowder guns and cannons
Thanks for the info Mate!!☺
Hello Rk,
Can you tell me where you find new rings for the Hit & Miss engines or possibly parts, is there a company name or business you guys buy from!
Any help would be Appreciated.
Thanks Buddy 👍
It depends on what engine you have but this is the best guy to deal with www.enginads.com/starbolt/catalog.pdf
Just goes to show how much they're ripping people off for those replacement bits when it's so cheap to make them at home!!
Yeah Buddy!! ☺

I see Dremel employees are disliking this video. Not me 👍
Where are the serial number on a old briggs?
Depends on the year!! on the 60's on up they were stamped on the side of the housing!! 59 and earlier were usually riveted to the cooling shroud!!☺
Like my Dremels, but they're like running a printer; they soak you on the consumables.
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
It's a saddle punch.
I don't learn much from you usually , I have been around, but sometimes you do have some great tips, this being one of them.

Sounds like a great way to turn a 2-3 minute procedure into a ½ hour production with a big mess!!☺
I would agree IF you have the hole punch, this is a alternative method when most people do have hole punches.
I get 5 for one box I don't care about money but if we can do exactly the same product way not
