  • This tutorial discusses a number of rotary tool bits that I find essential including silicone abrasive wheels, felt buffs, ball burs, diamond burs, cup burs, and sanding wheels. The discussion includes how and why I use these.

    with Pepe as a sponsor I'm surprised that you don't use sunburst polishing wheels - Dedeco is a great brand and they allow you to get really great finishes. Love your stuff Chad!

    Lots of good info here. Cup burs also work great for smoothing wrinkly ball embellishments. I love creating texture, and those diamond burs are great for adding texture to your pieces.

    I love the silicon wheels, they work a treat.The split mandrel is one of my fave attachments, I use mine for sanding and polishing. Thanks for sharing Chad and take care.

    The sanding burrs are for acrylic nails also.

    Can I ask why you still use the deemed when you have a Foredom?

    • @chadssilversmithing
      @chadssilversmithing  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Unfortunately my Foredom doesn’t work well. It’s a second hand one that needs some love. I’ll eventually get one that works right:)

    What would you recommend to file down the sharp edges of the filigree on a silver bangle bracelet

    • @chadssilversmithing
      @chadssilversmithing  23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'd have to see it, but the blue silicone abrasive wheel would smooth things without endangering fine details too much.

    Hi, Chad. Love your videos! But, I’ve been mystified by something for a long time: Why don’t you use a flex shaft or micro-motor polishing tool in lew of the Dremel? Not even a variable speed Dremel gives you the ability to work at almost infinitely variable revolutions, from almost zero to full throttle. When I started out, I used a Dremel, but was quickly frustrated by the inability to work at extremely slow speeds when I deemed it helpful. My Foredom was such a good purchase, and wasn’t prohibitively expensive-less than $300. The foot petal control gives me much more control than the Dremel, and it’s actually safer to use than a one. Just curious…

    • @chadssilversmithing
      @chadssilversmithing  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I do have an old Foredom that I picked up second hand, but it doesn’t work very well. I keep thinking I’ll fix it, but never seem to get around to it. I’ll eventually save my pennies and get a new one:)
