- In this video I answer some questions and discuss the various types of rotary hand tools that I have found to be most useful in the hobby of scale model construction. I take a look at the Foredom and Dremel as well as several types of dental handpieces.

Sir, your skill is definitely the best, most meticulous, and most professional of any on TH-cam. There are so many short cutters on TH-cam that make models suited only for uninformed eyes.
Please don't stop. You're so eloquent and concise. So much good info.
I stumbled across your channel this morning. As a lifelong aeromodeller myself, your encyclopaedic knowledge and experience shine though all your videos and your on-screen presence and style are exceptionally good. Why was I not surprised when you mentioned that you're a dentist!! Many thanks from the UK.
Thank you Stony.
Thanks, Paul. Great video, especially because it come from the voice of experience. Oh, your soldering video was first-rate too. Much appreciated out here by those of us who require many pictures along with your verbal explanations to make sense of such stuff.
As always you Sir are the best source modeling information.
I really appreciate this review. It helped me making a decision on what disc sander I need. Thanks again.
I've been out of the hobby for a couple years Paul so it's been a little bit since I've seen your channel. Being back now I have to tell you I love how your video products have evolved. You're on to something really great with your tutorials and build-alongs. Thank you for your efforts and contributions! Your videos are a tremendous inspiration to modelers everywhere! Best, Pete
Thank you Pete!
Hi Bud, love your videos, one very cheap option you didn't mention, it's the Tamiya hand drill. I bought one because of the fast RPMs on my Dremmel melting plastic, not sure what the RPMS are on the Tamiya drill is, but there is no melting on plastic, it's battery powered and Demmel Collits fit into it so I can use .3mm drill bits and other tool accessories that Dremmel make. I looked and looked on the internet for a slow speed tool and that was what I found. Keep those videos rolling, loved the airbrush vids.
Awesome, great video. You sir are on point.
I had the same issues until I purchased an electronic drill for filing and polishing finger nails. It has variable speeds, reverse and is extremely quiet. Cost was about $30. Bought ceramic drill bits, these don’t clog or get hot. It’s great for narrow gaps on models. Also, you can control the hand piece on the controller box or hand piece. I have been using it for several months and love it.
You wouldn't want to spill the beans here, would you? Like, what is it?
Thanks a lot for this review video. This isn't a decision I want to rush into so advice is useful.
Beautifully abouth Dremel thanks you red mi mind
Thank you for sharing
I’m kind of tired of hanging my dremel shaft from the ceiling to keep it from heating up. So I ordered this jewelers drill from amazon. It doesn’t have variable speed but doesn’t melt plastic yet can still get through 2mm styrene with ease. It’s got a high torque brushless motor in it. It probably spins at like 300rpm or so maybe a bit more.
I have a dremel, and a cheaper version of the same thing. Haven't used either of them since I bought a David 300. I still use some of the bits and burrs.
An interesting video. Could you please answer a simple question?
I'm looking for a small hand held roatry cutter. You say that too fast is bad for plastic.
What sort of speed (asking as the torque is ok) would I be needing as most online seem very fast.
Many thanks.
What but do you recommend to polish a plastic model for a rotary hand tool
you can get an ultra quiet compressor from harbor freight and order a pneumatic die grinder and pretty much have most needs met for a pretty affordable cost. much more reliable than dremel as well. i have burned out a ton of those, but i do engraving with them, im just starting to learn about modelling, havent even started my first.
Sure, it’s a

Drill bits:

by CRYSTALUM
I purchased it from Amazon. The metal bits became too hot, hence the ceramic bits, they didn’t chew or melt the plastic. Crystalum made various grade bits, I use the medium, fine and ultra fine ones. I use it a lot, but highly visible areas will need the usual polishing post drilling. The drill bits will fit any drill, but I like this one because of the variable and reverse speed, it fits my hand perfectly and has an on-off switch on the handle (not displayed in the picture. Hope this helps.
Paul,
is there a particular miniature drill chuck adapter you particularly like? I've got two, neither of which seem to be smooth or very accurate - lots of wobble in the drill bit. I think one was a dremel and I have no idea where the other came from
Unfortunately I've not fount one yet .
Where did you get your CV5 line drawing over your work bench in that size?
the nail rotary tools are good .
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Where can we buy it ?
What about all the Proxxon rotary hand tools?
That's your workshop? That area behind you?
Yes
@@scale-model-workshop I'm here to tell you, I could scrub for a week and my shop would never clean up that nice. Well, the only hope is remodeling, I guess.
👍🇧🇷
Paul... You do know that you could have saved all the money for the Osada and simply gotten a Piccolo arm for the Wells engine...
My bench is pretty deep and the short arm just winds up going straight and running into other things on the bench. I've used them and don't care for them because the movement is too restrictive. And finally, since I'm using my original Wells at the office, I would have had to buy an entire unit and that was more expensive than the Osada.
Thanks for the reply, Paul. I understand.
And you are absolutely right about the price of the new Wells engines, close to $1,200 now. When I bought mine (brand new in the mid 70's) I "only" paid $450.
Is there a way you can use Dremel size cutoff wheels, burs, etc. in the Wells or other dental units?
