But your rotary tool doesn't have an inbuilt wrench like am original one... Changing bit on original one is as easy as unscrewing the grip thingy and unscrewing the collet with it.
I get your point. But I don't have to use collets this way. I can use whatever size shaft without a collet change. And I use it for all purposes, not just drilling.
Great information thank you. Looking forward to more. I'm going to go and subscribe right now. Which lathe do you have there in the background? Cheers, Craig
Thanks, Craig! It's a South Bend Heavy 10, manufactured in December of 1941, delivered to the US Army Air Corps in January 1942. It came on a custom South Bend made 8 drawer steel cabinet with a hardwood top. I think it was installed in a mobile machine shop truck or trailer. It's seen a lot of use, the ways have substantial wear, but I love the sense of connection to history every time I use it. And with my shop being in the basement, a Heavy 10 is about the largest lathe I can consider. Thanks again, Bob
Hi Bob, Thanks for replying. It must feel great to know the full history of an older lathe like that. I have a lathe from the 1960s, and other than knowing it was from the local university most recently making instruments, largely from brass (which could mean a few things), I don't know much more about it. My lathe is a similar size to the south bend heavy 10 too. I like the idea of the steel cabinet with storage and a hardwood top. I will have to look through more of your videos to see the lathe in action. Cheers, Craig
You wouldn't, at least for this type of screw. I used it as a demonstration, because drywall screws like this are a very hard, very brittle high carbon steel that many people might be familiar with. Thanks for your input!
I bought a dental drill off of ebay to experiment with a while back. I had no problems burying it up to the hilt in a piece of steel. I recently broke a tap off in a hole and did not even think of trying the dental drill to remove the tap. I will have to see if I can find the piece and give it a try.
Dremel has their own 3-jaw chuck, currently they're $10 at Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/Dremel-1-32-in-Multi-Pro-Rotary-Tool-Chuck-4486/100531881 They are handy, for some things, but for anything like a milling cutter, you really want a collet. Collets are slower, but grip better, and you're less likely to have them pull out of the tool and break, or break your part. You should have both, and use them appropriately. If you really need a chuck, RFN, it's worth a trip to HD. If you see yourself needing one someday, the Amazon chuck is a great idea for pre-planning. One day when I was pretty flush, I got a Dremel set for about $85, with the flex shaft and a bunch of accessories. Mind you, I have had a Wen and a Black and Decker Flex-shaft tool for decades. I finally wore out my Wen a couple of years ago, but the accessories I have left for it all seem to fit the Dremel, and IIRC, the B&D, as well. Been a while since I used the B& D, as it wants to be hung up over the bench. Multiple tools with different setups comes in handy.
Thanks for weighing in. I think you make some good points. For me, it's been a "revelation" the ability to easily swap bit shank sizes. But you're right, collets do grip a lot better long term.
I know this is old, but this might solve a big problem I'm having. Do you know where to get those bits or at least can you post model or mfr info so we can search a little better? There is some stuff on Amazon, but sometimes you thinnk you're buying something that isn't what you think it is.
@@TheBuildist oh. I was referring to the dental drills. I know you said you got them from your dentist. I searched carbide dental drills and there are a lot of variations.
@@supergimp2000 Ah! Sorry. Those I just searched on Ebay and chose some that were inexpensive and described as being carbide. Not steel. Beyond that, I've lost track of which ones are which in my drawer. In my experience since then, they're all very effective, I haven't found any that didn't work pretty well.
You can tell the people that don't wear safety glasses never had a piece of steel fly into their eye,once that shit happens you look at things differently pun intended 🤣😂 after it happened to me I was extremely careful about ppe ,shits no joke half of my vision went black in one eye tore my cornea I thought i would never see out of that eye again it was like someone was covering the bottom half of my eye I have no other way to explain it, just be very careful because it can happen to anyone
You make an excellent point. I actually did experience some corneal damage working on the metal lathe. I was wearing these glasses when it happened, a steel projectile hit my upper cheek and careened upward, slicing my cornea as it went past. So , I've learned my lesson and I do try to be extremely careful now. But even before that I had enough sense to wear safety glasses went squinting up close at something like a high speed dremel. Thanks for the reminder!
You think it's "smart," in 2019, to talk about a common chuck that's been available for at least a decade or more and has been described in perhaps a hundred other TH-cam videos? Sorry, but you're not saying anything new, or particularly smart.
Yes I do. A whole lot of people don't know about these chucks and are still buying $35 sets of name brand, mostly useless bits, primarily because the bits all have the same size shank, so they're easier to swap out. Once I personally figured out the easier/better way to instantly swap out any size bit into a rotary tool, it opened my eyes to how handy they can be. And I'm sharing the knowledge with anyone who doesn't yet know the secret. Thanks for your excellent question.

Thank you so much. Saved me a trip into town. I'm missing the collar and crown piece for my Dremel and I needed this. Thanks again!
"...so I try not to put them in my mouth." Classic.
I saw that and thought "I should be writing this stuff down"
Great tips. My dentist saves bits for me. Probably have over 100 by now.
This is amazing, your great at this!! Thank you :D

I’m a bigger fan of the original. The chuck is mostly used when I’m changing bit sizes a lot. Otherwise I find the original more stable.

Just curious why would you need a hole in a screw?
You wouldn't, at least for this type of screw. I used it as a demonstration, because drywall screws like this are a very hard, very brittle high carbon steel that many people might be familiar with. Thanks for your input!

lol I get those bits from my dentist too Sadly the Wen tool is $50 in Canada (amazon)
#tipsblitz19 brought me here, the banjo intro got me to sub before watching.
I think I saw your shop in a movie once, where Bruce Willis saved Marcellus Wallace life.
Good catch! Most people don't realize that was filmed in my basement! 😂

The set I ordered off of Ebay isn't there anymore, but these are basically identical: www.ebay.com/itm/225549574455
Amazon carries them too: www.amazon.com/Carbide-Tungsten-Woodworking-Drilling-Engraving/dp/B09V6VB246/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1OL2PTXR41BOA

Jacobs is good for drilling and odd sized bits, but mediocre for everything else.
They should be 15-20 bucks lmao Cheapskate
Portillos is about 15-20 bucks we are talking money making tools maybe you should reassess your logic
