Way 4: Grab an piece of metal tubing with an 1" ID. Use an grinder to chamfer one end so it's nice and sharp. Use said tube as an punch to quickly stamp out circles of sandpaper. Works great! I use the same technique to cut neoprene foam.
It would be the fastest if you didn't need a perfectly centered hole too. Technique #2 in the video above also marks the center of the circle, which makes the sanding disc perfectly balanced. Having sanding discs whose screwing hole isn't perfectly centered will make it unbalanced, which can lead to problems in the Dremel's motor or gears after a few hours, due to vibrations.
Nice! I love it! Thanks for the video! I really like the second option. I’ve seen a guy sharpen the end of a metal pipe that was the correct size and then using a mallet, he cuts the sand paper with the pipe.
Number 5: Laser cutter. I use this method to cut denim from old, worn out jeans to make polishing pads for a rotary tool. It wouldn't take much of a change to those settings to work on sandpaper.

Dosbomber if I’m trying to save money on sanding disks chances are I don’t have a laser cutter.
I like the idea with the xacto tool. Now I have another use for my xacto kit I've had since 1942 when I was 11. Back then I would use it for making model airplanes. The ones that were propelled by rubber bands.
Make a backing pad from a milk bottle cap, or any thin flexible plastic. In the UK we have plastic milk bottles with a 35mm approx dia cap, they usually have a mark in the centre too. This makes the sanding disk more rigid and it tends to last longer. Trim the thread off and use method 3 to true it up.

i make mine using a hollow punch and i glue the sandpaper to a bit of cardstock with spray adhesive to make it more sturdy it is even quicker than you circle cutter
I know its been some time but i just use those plastic plug for screws in furniture. Cut the plastic off and put a hole in it. Soft plastic wont damage anything and it works wonders.
Try sharpening the edges of a pipe (correct diameter) and smacking it against the sand paper with a hammer. I used this method, honestly best way IMO. The edge may dull but after you get a few dozen circles but its easy to resharpen too
Thanks man, that is very useful. But using the compass is safer and faster. I have an idea which is making a puncher with a metal pipe same diameter and making its lower side like saw teeth then sanding them until they are very sharp. Add a handle...etc. What do you think?
What about cutting discs ? I got one of these rotary tools and it only came with a few cutting discs and all I can find is assortment packs with not enough of what I need. Most come with a whole new rotary tool on the cheap which is kind of out the question. I know it would be a lot harder to make this type of disc, but would be good to see if it's at all possible with what we have laying around the shed. They're bloody handy, but break to easily.
Too big for any job I have. Also I have too much time on my hands at the moment so was looking for a time sink lol Something like this would be good as the more cutting discs I have the better !
Not a bad idea. I really didn't think you could get a disc that thin for an angle grinder. My rotary tool comes with a variable speed setting. I never really go past level 2 as it's unbearably loud. Goes up to level 8 or 10 I think.
That is a really bad Idea, there are 1mm angle grinder discs, however the RPM are crucial for the integrity of the disc, AND the supporting net structure of the grind wheel is really important on some brands of discs, there are packet's of those rottary-tool-discs for cheap on the internet. (and pretty much all good hardware stores in my country (Bulgaria), and our stores are nothing compared to american stores for example. If you really think about making your own blades, I think it will be safer to make them out of thin sheet of metal, with small teeth. AND if you really want to try those cut out of an angle grinder wheel, at least keep your rotary tool on the slowest setting and wear eye protection, because those things literally explode.
Scary as hell when they do, accidentally twisted the grinder a bit when cutting a bolt and it shattered into a billion pieces. Super loud, really dangerous, scary stuff.
Very good. I got one of those paper disc cutters for scarp booking but it dosent mark the center,and a bit small. They only seem to sell 220 grit ready made. I'll going to get one or make a cutting compass. Cheers
if you use a punch simply lay one that has the center hole (use no. 3 methode for different sizes) and use pin or small nail to go through all f them at the same time while still in the tube or holder of the stack
4-5" (100-125 mm) Pipe of a certain what diameter you want disc to be, then sharpen the end of the pipe to a cutting edge (bench grinder should be enough) then set sand paper on plywood and pipe to paper and give it a quick smack and move to the space next to the now whole and continue, once done blow down pipe to release the stamped out discs
Of course you had on your hazmat suit, goggles, helmet, safety boots and breathing apparatus but you seem to have forgotten your carbon fiber reinforced gloves. I jest. Just found you channel and subscribed, excellent ideas.
I make mine from the plastic tops of spice containers. Normally the center hole is already there, and gives perfect amt. of stiffness and balance. I use double sided tape to attach sandpaper ..m.
I wish Dremel would just make a kit with tons of different grit sand disks for the EZ lock system, they are not that expensive. Making my own, I have always found the sand paper to be less stiff and ridged compared to the Dremel sanding disks I buy. Does anyone have a recommendation on a specific brand of sand paper that my be more stiff and ridged? With the regular sand paper that bends to easy I end up putting on a buffing disk then the circle sand paper I cut out and then the screw and that makes it stiff enough.
Where are you from? I had the same parkside rotary tool, i love that brand, i think einhell makes it, i also have alot of their tools, and lux tools is one of the brands here, they went from affordable to expensive overnight tho
Black and Decker rotary tool has 2 amps compared to dremmels 1.2 amps. I have a friend who has the same one for 8 years and he heavily uses it to do wood power carving.
es solo un compas normal, se ve que en el lugar de la mina/lapiz usa la punta de recambio que suele venir para reemplazar el extremo de metal, osea que acaba con 2 puntas de metal.
Don't know what your usage and skill level and price range are but I'd say watch the pawn shops and try to get a variable speed Craftsman! If it's been decently well cared for it'll last forever!
I've found this trick few years ago expect I use a plastic coin as backing for the sandpaper. Extremely useful for polishing knife handles and pommel.

Demoni696 this kind of tool is called hollow punch - and yes, i use them too - way faster
Doesn't give you a precise center point for mounting, though.

Hey .. I was going to post that same thing... cheater!!! :-} Geniuses think alike... :-}
Yeah, that'll work until you bend the needle off-center trying to hammer out discs en masse.
Before cutting the sandpaper, cover the entire backside with packing tape or duct tape to reinforce the paper so it's stronger.
Wow, simply genius
Nice! I love it! Thanks for the video! I really like the second option.
I’ve seen a guy sharpen the end of a metal pipe that was the correct size and then using a mallet, he cuts the sand paper with the pipe.
That's actually good, and fast way! NICE!
but I still prefer Numer 3, because it looks dangerous.
same!! @johnnyq90 i was woundering if you could make a co2 motor???? the one with a piston and a all seal.

What do you use to back the disc up? Regular sandpaper isn’t stiff enough to use for sanding.

Ur videos are always entertaining
The last example looked a bit sketchy but is the method that looks the most fun.
That's what I thought too.Lol
Option 3 is hilarious!
I usually glue two opposing discs to make cutting discs
Take thin grinder cut off wheels and cut little wheels out if them. Much cheaper. considering online 50 41/2 cut off wheels for $25 or so
Very good. I got one of those paper disc cutters for scarp booking but it dosent mark the center,and a bit small. They only seem to sell 220 grit ready made. I'll going to get one or make a cutting compass. Cheers

Can you let me know that which drilling machine are you using in the last part of the video ?
thanks for this - i ordered one of those thingomajigs

Name please 🥺
Awesome! Never thought of this one!
What is the name/brand of circle cutting compass? Thanks
I see LUX, I press like.
WooooHooooo, great techniques and methods, thanks for sharing!
I like your ideas
You could also glue it on to some thicke card so it's a bit more sturdier.
A circle lever punch can make 100 perfect discs in a minute. And there are different sizes.
Is that a sand disk or round sand paper
Cool idea
OMG NO2 WAS SO SATISFYING
I soldered copper disc to rod for mandrel & use double sided tape! no center hole or anoying screw.
Lay down a Quarter or a 1/2 Dollar coin trace around it then cut it out comes out great also thanks for sharing

Last one is the best since i dont have that circular cutter
that's a nice idea. Thanks ;)
subbed...good simple ideas...thanks
The best idea
wow, amazing. tnx 4 sharing ideas
the beat is sick!!!!!!!hiphop
Whats the small pin thing that you insert in the middle?
Why not just sharpen a piece of steel tubing the appropriate size and punch them out with a rubber mat underneath and a hammer?
That method won't give you the center of the circle for attachment.
It will if you put a dowel with a sharpened nail inside the tubing.
I do it this way and drive a finish nail through the stack while it’s still in the pipe for a center hole.
Where does one get one of the doo hickies used to cut the discs.
Before see your video i did a sand paper disc, but the shit just blow up, lucky my rotary have a safe guard.
Nice Videos - Thank You!
that was genius
Now, please, make a video of different lifehacks for DIY tools or maybe using Dremel as a lathe.
Princess Luna Ya, I'd love to see that!
I figured the third way. You could makje a "stamper" a tube that cuts when you hit it with hammer. Probably very fast.
Smart and useful!

What did you use for the 3rd way?
thought if you glued construction paper or maybe 1/32" flat plastic to sand paper and then cut out the may be a little stiffer ...

If you want to make it more stiff you can use glue stick on the sandpaper and ones it dries you can cut it for something stiff
why not just use the square

I have both the same aku grinder like one in the video what do you think about it ?
damn, i the third way . i want to get a new dremel ,which one should i get ??
Kamal Chahlaoui
the 4200 is a beast, like a mini angle/straight grinder
if you don't use it that often, the 3000 is a pretty good deal
For detail/fine work, I would take a Proxxon Micromot 50/E
For general purpose use, Dremel 4200.
