My Most Expensive Dremel Bit...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ย. 2022
- Hi all, here's a review of the Dremel 801 Carbide Rotary Tool Shaping Wheel. I decided to make a 6x2 inch cherry bowl with it, and was pretty impressed! It'll definitely be useful for future Dremel projects. Links for the products I used below. Thanks for being here!
You don't need to invest in a lot of expensive tools to make something fun! In this video I carved a bowl with nothing but a Dremel 4300 rotary tool, even though many people think you should use a lathe. I think the accessory I used makes a great gift idea, and I highly recommend giving it a try.
Most Dremel carving projects are very budget friendly past the initial cost of the Dremel, so having one is a great resource to make some meaningful gifts for others (as long as you have the patience). Check out the rest of the channel for more Dremel projects!

Wear a mask, eye protection, and hearing protection, and consult your tools' manuals prior to using them to ensure safety. This video is for my insta @logscarvingclub.
If you're looking for more wood carving designs and videos, I recommend watching the video where I carve a greek paddle with a Dremel 4300. I use Walnut, Poplar, and Epoxy! The epoxy was a hassle but came out really cool. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
this is top quality fresh-old style youtube content. simple, no bs, great craftsmanship. a bright light in these dark influencer times. thank you! ❤
Probably one of the nicest comments I’ve gotten! Thank you!
Straight to the point. No over the top excitement or annoying "hip" music.
Very good content.
🗽🌎🛸
Thank you!!
@@LogsCarvingClub back atcha bud! Have an awesome holidays.
YT algorithms finally aid off! Your bowl is beautiful. And I finally found someone to teach me about my many Dremel bits!
Thank you! I’m glad you like the video
That wood is absolutely beautiful...the wax made it look stunning
Thank you very much!
I'm really happy I found your channel, dude. Thanks for these videos.
Thank you!
That looks like a great Dremel bit. Your bowl is beautiful!
Thank you!!
This was an excellent video. Very interesting to watch. I'm glad YT suggested it! ☺️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Start to finish an excellent review!
Great audio/video quality.
Great choice of project and wood to showcase your impressive skill.
Thank you
Thank you so much!
Hey. I bought something similar, Dremel branded, but it was flat, and that was the only exception.
I used mine for years and must have put 50+ hours on it. I'd still be using it if i hadn't lost it, or lent it to someone...
Great video. Great design. Thanks.
Perhaps the Dremel 543? I have the 544 version and enjoy it a lot. I hope it lasts as long! Thanks.
i need this for my grandpas toenails
Holy cow
@@LogsCarvingClub yeah its bad
Thank you again for your take on this bit by Dremel 🙏👌
My pleasure!
@@LogsCarvingClub I purchased the bit which was recommended by you 😊 thank you again🙏
Ha!! $10 is the absolute cheapest Dremel bit you can buy in Canada. The prices are stupid high. That 801 is around $40 up here.
That’s crazy! 40 Usd or cad?
@@LogsCarvingClub CAD. Yup, sure is. Everything is like that up here. You have access to so much more options.
40 ain't shit either
Wow.
Canada is just kinda effeminate and weird and likes to mess with people like truckers and tradesmen? Why do they do this?
Nice job I love your design. Keep up the carving.
Thank you Scott!
Beautiful work!
Thank you very much Sara!
Awesome job on the bowl!
That bit is sweet too!
Thank you!!
I've just bought the 801 dremel bit. It's amazing, and it seems like it'll last forever!
Great to hear!
New subscriber here. Seeing how much material that bit takes in one pass, wow. At the price point I hope it lasts you awhile. Also your end result on the bowl was very nice. I'll check out some of your other videos.
Thank you!
Picked up the bit after watching the video. It's pretty much become my go to. Great channel, keep it up
Awesome! Thank you!
Great work!
Thank you!
Very nice job , bravo !!! Fotini from Greece
Thank you Fotini!
very nice video! i carve too. I use kutzall burrs they are about 20 a pop also. i mostly carve soft wood so they last a long time. I also use a 1/4 inch die grinder and 4 1//2 angle grinder to remove a lot of material on bigger projects.
So glad I saw this. I’ve got about 6 dremel devices and every attachment. I use it every day. For traditional pipe making, some of use use a 6” French Wheel” which is a sanding wheel for an arbor or whatever but with a semi curved surface. They’re almost all hand made due to a specialized use for shaping curves etc and are $150-200 each. This is a mini version. Bought both bits right away to try out. :). It should be perfect for what I need really. I just got the 8260 (I have a dremel lite I use a lot and a foredom but been using flex shaft with my Dremel 300 I bought 25 years ago and works great but wanted wireless and well.. my obsessiveness .. lol.
Great to hear Peter! I hope it works well for you. I’m also obsessed as you can imagine with the tool, just works so well for so many small things
@@LogsCarvingClub thanks. Can’t wait to try on a new briar pipe. Yup I grab a dremel about 4-8 times a day. The lite is surprisingly useful for it’s slow speed but I use that mostly for the wire wheels or light buffing etc. Easier to grab and use. I really haven’t tried the 8260 yet. I got the E Eliauk Tool box for it. It’s a perfect toolbox for a dremel. It’s just been hot and I’ve been holding off until a bit cooler to work outsiden I have a couple new Kutzall burrs I haven’t tried yet as well. Great channel btw. I need to work on more diversified carving than my niche and started searching. I also made an acrylic dust box for sanding etc. inside. Just haven’t finished it yet. (No garage or shop as I’d need a few million bucks for a small house with a garage where I am.
Nice video, nice bowl, and a good tool review.
Glad you enjoyed it Martin! Thanks for commenting.
Gonna get me one of those
Great to hear! I hope you enjoy it.
Woodturner here, and this is awesome! Very cool!
Thank you Shane!
Nice bowl!
Thank you!
Maaaan nice!! Wish I knew about this piece when I had my purple heart bowl block.
Every time I've used purple heart it's been so challenging to carve. Did you make a whole bowl out of it with a Dremel?
@Log's Carving Club no, I ended up cutting it into quarters then my knockoff Dremel decided it didn't want to turn on anymore 😒 so now I have to save for an actual Dremel to get to use them. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me. Happy Thanksgiving ✌🏾
@@genorodriguez1426 Happy thanksgiving! Hopefully your next tool doesn’t die. I had a dremel 4000 die on me but it was in warranty and I got a replacement for free within a couple weeks (other than the $10 to ship it to them)
Nice work
Thanks so much!
after I watched your video, I directly wasn´t able to not order this awesome peace ;) THX a lot for the inspiration…
No problem!
) @LogsCarvingClub I LOOOOOVE this bit ; …..ordered a second one as backup
Nice
Thank you!
So cool!
Thank you!
@@LogsCarvingClub nah thank you, i love watching woodworking videos😌✌🏻
You made the comment that it doesn’t need to be food safe, but just for anyone that doesn’t know, Howard’s Feed & Wax is a killer finish and is absolutely food safe.
You have inspired me to make cool thing and thank you and keep the great video up and what kinda tools do you use
Thank you! That's great to hear. I have linked most of the tools I use in the description if you're curious.
As an enthusiast hobby dentist, I'm fascinated
Thank you!
That is a frightening description. I'm terrified of a trained dentist. Any one who does dentistry as a hobby really needs psychiatric help!
@@dennismitchell5276 For what was a drill invented for?
I up graded to the Fordome SR . Nice bowl cool !
How do you like it? I’d like to try it but it’s a big investment
@@LogsCarvingClub Best ,I ever had Cost a lot $ ! I went through to many Dremel's 6 in 18months . this does not bog down the torque is unreal . Worth the money and made in USA quality costs ! 👍
@@LogsCarvingClub I also got the cast metal foot peddle and table control !
Man that bowl looks amazing! Could you please tell me where you got this wood block from and how long it took you to complete this bowl from start to finish? Could you please post the plans? Thanks man!
Also I want to make a food safe bowl which finishing polish should I use for that? Thanks
Thank you! I don't have any plans other than the video, but it took me about 2 hours I think (without the extended breaks I take). I got the blank from a Rockler woodworking store, but I'm not sure if you have those locally. I'd probably just use food safe mineral oil to finish a bowl. Make sure it's food safe. Also, make sure the actual wood you use is food safe. Best.
Awesome video. I don't know why youtube showed me this but I'm now off to the hardware shop to see if they have that dremel bit
Thank you! I got mine online if they don’t have it
@@LogsCarvingClub I just picked up 2. One to use and one to loose in my tool box lol
Hello, really amazing and inspiring work here. I have a 542 cutting/shaping wheel. Are these relatively the same type bits?
I’m rather new the process. Thank you!
Really similar, but that one’s so flat I think you’d have a hard time using it for this sorta thing. I use the ez544 which is like yours just for cutting straight lines
Which Dremel do you think best for carving wood like you do for long periods of time? I’ve pretty much bought all the bits in your bio plus a Kutzall for a MakerX rotary tool. After using it for a bit I realized it wasn’t doing good. I recently realized I have an outlet in my new back yard so decided to look into some good corded rotary tools.
NEED!
Got mine on Amazon!
Woah
Thanks!
Sharp.
Thanks!
You are Picasso i like it👏👏👏
Thank you!!
I don’t see this tool anymore. Any recommendations?
I wonder how that bit would do trimming goat hooves? I have seen people using angle grinders to trim horses and cattle, but that seemed over kill for a goat.
Might be good! I haven't ever trimmed hooves so I'm not sure how hard they are. I always assumed they just use those large clippers or blades for horses cattle, I'd be worried about slipping with a rotary tool or grinder.
@@LogsCarvingClub Just as an example, check out The Hoof GP, he uses a pretty serious blade on his angle grinder. The nippers are fine for my smaller goats, but I don't have the strength in my hands to use them on my buck. His hooves are too thick for me.
How many hours did You work on that bowl .
Looks great.
Thanks You for showing us Your tools.
That's a great help for me
I think it was about two hours. I can't really remember since I actually filmed this over the summer, and it's hard to time since I take a lot of coffee and snack breaks.
Thank You for answering.
Enjoy your coffee.
Where do buy your wood from? Everywhere I look a 5”x5” mystery block is $30. I want to start new projects but can’t find specialty wood blocks like this for cheap
It’s tough! I go to a local exotic woods store where they sell hardwood blocks for wood turners, and they’re thick enough to be used for carving. If I did more I would buy longer extra thick planks to section out.
get yourself a few generic diamond burr sets. They give you a flat diamond saw wheel . You could probably bend it with a drill press and a wooden form you'd have almost a miniature of that and have you tried the automotive mini 3m flap wheels
That’s an interesting idea, I’d be worried that it wouldn’t be perfectly balanced though and would be like a poorly packed top loading washing machine going off axis and breaking. I don’t think I’ve tried the flap wheels
Which mask and eye protection do you use? Do you also have a link for it?
I might have links in the description but if not I use a 3M respirator with p100 filters. I also use Milwaukee safety glasses but the dust still gets by into my eyes if I’m not careful. I’m not an expert on safety so I’d look a little more into it if I were you.
I owned three of the bits you showed second ( the one you've got over three years). They keep snapping for me..
That’s interesting… I recently got another to keep one sharp for wood carving but I’ve never had one snap. What do you use them on? Also which brand?
@@LogsCarvingClub the dremel brand. And i use them on different kinds of wood without much pressure.. thanks for responding btw!
It also doubles as a plughole/sink drain cover!😁😂✌️
Hahaha true!
@@LogsCarvingClub I loved the bowl you made BTW!😜✌️
Thanks!
Did you consider the kutzall rotor saw? It’s also 20$ and the coating is probably more durable.
That’d probably be a good alternative, I haven’t tried it though
Years ago I put my Dremel in the drawer. Any carving project I worked on was quicker just using a sharp knife. Now that bit could change my mind.
Do you use them for carving hardwoods too?
@@LogsCarvingClub I used chisels on hard woods.
@@dennismitchell5276 Do you have any brands you recommend?
How long in real time it took you to create that bowl?
It looks awesome!
Maybe an hour of carving and an hour of sanding, but it took much longer cause I take frequent breaks to rest my hands and let the dremel cool off
@@LogsCarvingClub Dremel to cool off?
I have mine for two weeks now, never thought there was a need to let it cool off when using...
After how long of using would you say it needs cooling off?
@@lukapavlesic7610 I don’t know if it actually extends the tools life, but when I use mine consistently for more than an hour it starts to get really hot on my hand so I let it get back from hot to warm before I continue. I’m really just guessing it’s better for the motor long term
Great for carving out a dugout canoe
That would definitely take a lot of patience 😆
I'm curious to what you ise to make wood products food and drink safe.
This bowl was for knick knacks, but usually for spoons and such I use non-toxic, untreated hardwood and I finish them with food-grade cutting board oil (mineral oil). My favorite wood to use for foods is usually maple
@@LogsCarvingClub thank you very much.
Where do you usually get your wood from?
This piece is from Rockler woodworking, I often get planks from Home Depot or exotic woods from furniture makers or specialty stores
@@LogsCarvingClub Thanks! I would really like to see how you made the plane and cat!
@@Rew_ Would love to! Maybe sometime next year, unfortunately too crunched for time to pull it off this summer
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺 what is the name of the wood 😊
This was Cherry.
I'm surprised you don't drill the bulk of the material out or use a chisel for bulk removal
My aim for this channel is to try to stick to the fewest tools possible, it makes the projects more realistic to follow for people who can’t have whole workshops
I wanna eat soup outta it
Would not recommend :(
99% of my Dremel work is done on 6al4v, so this video makes me extremely jealous.
That must be tough, what are you using them for?
@@LogsCarvingClub
Finishing work for knife parts.
A lot of the time I'm working with Timascus (pattern welded titanium alloys) or Zircuti (pattern welded titanium alloys + zirconium), so mistakes can be extremely expensive.
I hate those sanding drums :)
I like them but only in very specific situations, otherwise I usually go for the wheels.
do you sell your work?
No sorry, I keep them or give them as gifts to friends and family
@@LogsCarvingClub That’s cool I was asking because I’m booking to get it doing stuff like this and was considering overtime maybe selling on Etsy so curious if you did as well
@@J-J-S-M I thought about it but they tend to take me a very long time, so putting it at a realistic price would probably translate into far below minimum wage after costs of materials and tools, if you had other/larger tools and nailed a specific carving to get quantity you could probably pull it off
I would find it much more enjoyable to make such bowl with carving chisels.
Yeah but I was testing the bit for the video
@@LogsCarvingClub It's definitelly a cool bit. I use dremel bits for my proxxon.
The bowl turned out really nice man cherry has really nice grain
Thank you! I do love the look of it. Makes a huge difference getting a good piece of wood
Snoop Dogg quit smoking marijuana but he still vibes like he continued smoking that substance.
30€ in Germany 😢
Woah!
dame $750 for a piece of wood jesus. do a video on if the wood is worth it
$7.50, not too bad for a precut cherry round where I’m located
ever thought of a lathe? or may be a angle grinder carbide bit!! thats a tiny tool !! good luck!
The video was about the bit I just made a bowl to test it
Um, orange (a food) oil isn't food safe but mineral oil (made from crude oil) is food safe? WTF is wrong with this picture?
I agree! Really though I’m just following the labels. The orange oil I’m using isn’t pure orange oil, it has additives, and isn’t labeled for use with food
It's because the orange oil goes rancid if I'm not mistaken, mineral oil doesn't!
They invented a tool for that, it’s called a lathe
Made the bowl just to test the bits durability, also don’t have a lathe
Looks like a mini version of a grinder plate from harbor freight.
Bro, please dont claim expensive...
Also angle grinder arbortec blades are about $150 or more. Still brother, you need biger tools you have amazing abilities, amazing dedications, idk if arbor tec makes mini stuff, but 8 know they got a small ball one.
Thank you! Also thanks for the info! Sorry abt the expensive comment I meant expensive for a dremel branded rotary tool bit specifically
Please pin me 📌 love your work
Thats neat but... hand carving that would have been faster (at least for the rough shape)
Maybe! I do focus on power carving for this channel though, so not much hand carving.
@@LogsCarvingClub fair enough. to each his own :D
I like hand carving stuff, it's a bit hard and requires focus and creativity 3D awareness like any sculpting. I also find it enjoyable because it's meditative, and i don't need to wear protective gear unlike with power tools. Cheers
My guy, you got big toes for thumbs.
I cant use my flexshaft for more than 1.5min tops and then it gets so hot its like wielding molten lava.
Im really sick of dremel over all. Overpriced crap with almost zero quality.
Is it old or bent too much while in use? I haven’t had an issue with mine yet. I agree they seem pricey for how simple they look
A lathe would be far more efficient. Then a dremel to finish.
The video was about the bit, bowl was to test the durability
kutzall better
Depends
WARNING WARNING WARNING ! ! !
Listen to this First 4:44
True! I’m hoping people don’t start projects before watching the whole video and knowing their tool though
Thanks!
Man. You have to stop biting your finger nails ! ☹️
I never really expected someone to notice that… you’re right though!
You need a lathe. Not a dremmel
I made a bowl just to test the bit’s durability
Big spender 😒
In context I think so!
Check permagrit tools
The best on the market
Do they make similar attachments?
yup
u can get sanding blocks in different shape , 2 grids (on both sides 1 grid)
up to almost 100cm long
special files , rotary tools big and small (if u want to buy go with coarse- fine is ...rly fine , not rly for wood)
and more
i use them for composite materials and wood , works crazy good and literally have lifetime warranty ....
just remember to buy coarse ones because fine is like super fine ...mostly for composite materials , easly clog up in wood and dont use them on metal , can work for some time but will get destroyed to fast for the price and dont work as good as for example 3M Cubitron II abrasives
PS
u should also check entire line of 3M CUBITRON II (cubitron II its name of ceramic abrasive material they use)
literally last 10-15x longer than bosch , dewalt , mirka , festool etc
where works 2-3x faster and cost the same or less (except 125mm cutting discs - but they literally last 10x longer and works in my case 1.5-2times faster)
belts for belt sander
discs for orbital sander
etc....if u not ever used them but used top brand ones like Mirka , Festool etc
you will be like " DAAAAMN"
if u never used mirka etc
jaw on the floor xD
i love to cut discs and belts for belt sander from 3M Cubitron II line to make my own discs and drums for Dremel
works crazy good
there is also Norton Blaze ...its like 70% performance of 3M cubitron II line abrasives in case of speed and lifetime
but 1000% stronger glue that let u push it on thin parts (like sticking out screew that will destroy everything else and 3M discs too but using norton blaze u can easly sand it pushing the tool like madman ..... rapid strip is crazy for metalworking etc if u want paint or rust off as quick as possible
I just got into whittling and power carving and chainsaw carving and everything else wood and carving. Do whittlers look down on power carvers for using dremals?
All of my other hobbies, you have purists all over and it's obnoxious
Sure, but you’re right in that its across any hobbyist groups. For example people who love ebikes and people who think they’re cheating. As long as you’re enjoying yourself I think you’re set. Wood carvers are also generally very kind, I’ve only seen a couple negative comments. Also, I like whittling with basswood, but no way I’d go acoustic with a hardwood like Purple Heart or even maple
@@LogsCarvingClub my main 2 hobbies are guitar and photography and man oh man do I absolutely loathe the purist know it alls in those 2 groups. Those 2 hobbies have very few "rules" if you will. They're both very creative and if you like it then that is the "right" way but some of the veterans of those hobbies just can't help but to belittle new comers and try to dictate how they do it. I've came across quite of few of those types in basic wood working as well.
you should invest in learning how to use chisels
so much energy and time waste
This is a power carving channel I just made a bowl to test the durability of the bit
Get some knives
This is a power carving channel and the video is about reviewing the bit
