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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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 👍
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.
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!!☺
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
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.

This is a great hack for one of the best Dremel accessories that generally doesn't last long in operation.
Good DIY vid. Worth watching. Love putting my dremel to use this is a good tip.
Awesome tip Roadking!!! That will save alot of money for model builders as well! I Thank You sir!
Thanks Bud!!☺
This is awesome and it’s gonna save me a ton of money thanks!

3. First thing I thought was, great place to use a Taiwan deep well socket, sharpened on the outside, as the the punch.
Thanks Dan!! Never made them bigger but I'm sure they would work fine!! And that deep socket is a great idea!!☺
Dude!!! this was awesome to learn. thanks!!
Thanks for the tip. That is going to save me lots of money.
That's an awesome trick, thanks for sharing!
OK RK I will do this. I love my little rotary tool thingy.
I know you like to save money too Bud!!☺
Excellent tip! I'm going to give it a try!
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!!☺
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!!☺
That's slick man. Well done.
Thanks Mate!!☺
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.

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!!☺
Great tip, EJ. I am definitely going to use this one.
Thanks George!! I'm sure it will come in handy on the Railroad!!☺
Great idea, congrats. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Great tip RK I will have to remember this. Thanks for sharing buddy
Thanks Bud!!☺

Excellent tip Roadking, I’ll definitely try it, I enjoy your channel 👍
Thanks Bud!! We appreciate you watching!!☺
Thanks for the idea! Hey does the lower grit pads leave a texture on clean metal?
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!!☺
Nice I’ll have to make some of these love my dremel
Awesome idea.
Thanks Buddy! Great Idea!!!!
Thanks Bud!!☺
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.

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
Thank you, I'm in a pinch and that's super helpful.
Just tried that with homemade sandpaper disks, works great.
Such a great idea!
Thanks Bud!!☺
Great tip. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Another great tip. 👍
Thanks Bud!!☺
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!!☺
Very good idea, thanks.
now that's a great tip ! Thanks King ..
Thanks Bud!!☺
Oh Roadking this is so simple! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for watching Doc!!☺
Clever idea sir 👍👍
Thanks Bud!!☺
that's a good idea I might even make my own mandrel for it using a allen Button Head 6-32 screw
Your The Best Roadking.
Thanks Vida!!☺
Hey ROADKING, this is a great idea,....How come I didn't think of this before???? Thanks Brother!
Great tip. Thanks for the video's.
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
That's a great idea mate
Thanks Mate!! Have a good life!!☺
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.
Great tip roadking thanks take care!!
Thanks Bill!!☺
great tip thank you , thats ganna save me a ton of money
Thanks Bud!!☺
I got one of the Dremels I use it a lot too. Good info thanks.
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Why didn't I think of this. THanks!
I use the end grain of the the wood when using hole punches rk! Works beta.
Great tip thank you
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!!☺
Great idea Road King, I'll give it a go. Thanks Buddy, nuffa' this😀
Thanks Bud!!☺
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
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Thanks mate.
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!!☺
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 will use this tip! Thanks
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Wow...thanks, Roadking!!
Great tip!
Did you use the stock mandrel?
Yeah!!
I like it!
That's right up your alley Bud!!☺
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
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.
Thanks for the tip! Gonna save me a few £££
Pretty smart RK 🙂
Thanks Bud!!☺
Good tip!
Thanks Bud!!☺
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!!☺
,👍👍Nice tip sir
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Works just as well as the original for a fraction of the cost. I'm in. =)
Sounds like a plan Mate!!☺
Thank you so much dude
We used that at the ship yard where I worked they called it a hole punch used for making gasket s
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?
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!!☺
In the North of England at least we always referred to them as wad punches.

It depends on what engine you have but this is the best guy to deal with www.enginads.com/starbolt/catalog.pdf

Good Tip
Thanks Goomy!!☺
Good one broski
Thanks Budski!!☺
@@805ROADKING
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!!☺
👍up buddy!
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Yup that's a leather punch nice one.
now for the cut off wheels
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
nice
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!

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!!

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.
Like my Dremels, but they're like running a printer; they soak you on the consumables.
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
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!!☺
I see Dremel employees are disliking this video. Not me 👍

More than one way to skin a cat
