I had a wasp hit the back of my upper arm. When I looked down itwas struggling to get out. Poor thing hit so hard he was stuck. I started to reach for it. Thought better & grabbed it with my shirt to pull it out. Then I wasn't quick enough to kill it with a nearby rock & it flew off in a wobbly pattern looking drunk. Afterwards my mom made compress from a cigarette & I loaded down on Benadryl big time. I had a huge red mark but little pain.
@@zacharygee9774 Like a orbital sander, if you just let it rest against the wood with a light hold you can feel it wants to move forward in one direction, I think he is saying move in the opposite direction to where the router wants to naturally go so you're more in control.
I didn't know Dremel had such fine attachments, however, I always clamp my work to something stable. I think the dremel is a tool that requires two hands.

I have all the things needed, dremel, router bits and the router attachment but was afraid to use it. You have given a good demo and tips of how this works. It has encouraged me to try, thank you! Sorry about the bee sting!
Thank you that's the objective of my channel to show you how to use the dremel in a proper way. And so you don't have to be scared of it cause it is a powerful tool. Let me know what other videos you would like to see me demonstrate
I get a scrap piece of wood and line it up next to my working piece leaving enough space between to easily use the router bit. That keeps the collar perfectly level and prevents gouging especially at the corners.
Keen eye, mate 😉, pun intended, lol. Really though, I love me some Keen's. 'Specially for anything having to do with natural watering holes, lakes, rivers, etc. Any outdoor summer activity really. Depending on where ya live, can use 'em all year long. Been wearing them for upwards of 15 years. Good summer sandal with a nice thick rubber sole for traction and reducing the possibility of penetration if ya were to step on somethin' sharp and, you got it, a nice rubber toe, that ya don't find on a lot of sandal type shoe, to protect those bad boys from being stubbed, etc, like ol' Billy-Bob over yonder. [Billy-Bob: Ouch, that g'damn summa...] Ya really can't go wrong a Keen for some good, quality, extra protective, long lasting, warm weather footwear.
Thanks for sharing. What is the best accessory to buy for dermal to cut wood in a straight line, is there any fenced tool for that? What is the right bit to use, I am using the toothed wheel (gear) to cut, is there another bit to use in this case to act like a static saw. ?
Oh no a bee stung you. Good tip on the BENADRYL, people often forget that. I have something called a BENADRYL Stick. It looks like a bingo dauber at the end. I have tried it out and it does work. Even on Mosquito bites.
I want to see how u made your foldable desk. I was actually watching ur video to help me with the foldable desk (Murphy Desk) that I'm making. I doing it all by knowing what it looks like and that's it. No directions no size charts. All by my eyes! I'm using a Dremel 3000 & other simple hand tools I have at home (hand saw, simple cheap drill, screwdriver...etc) Just looking on TH-cam for different ways to do things like that and I'll chose what way I like best.
I just came to the video because I needed to know how far to put bit into collet. I can tell you a few things. 1. Too high rms, dremel wants to take off plus u burn and divet the wood. 2 use both hands on the tool 3. Set bit just even with top of wood being worked . That's just the basics minus the safety crap u aren't observing
I was routing a bench top tonight and the bench to is a mixture of pine & 2 differing hardwoods. I ran it around 25-30 and I have no idea if that was too slow or just right. Any thoughts on this?
Yeah. I’d clamp project down securely with at least 2 clamps. Next, I’d use both hands on the Dremel. One hand on tool body and the other hand to guide the collar just above the attachment. Oh and lastly, bees or wasps don’t just arbitrarily sting for no reason. Check to make sure they didn’t build a nest nearby. Yellow jackets especially like building massive colonies inside walls and underground near trees preferably. Just an FYI
Which bit did you use? I have a Black and Decker RTX that I've been looking to add this attachment to. I always thought it would work as a routing attachment. I have some particle board end tables and I want to redo the tops with actual wood instead but I want rounded edges. The metal frame and legs would transfer over easily enough. I really don't want to buy an actual router and buy/make a router table.
Yes I was going slow for the demonstration. You can go faster and avoid it all routers do it. And if need be you can take sand paper and pretty much wipe it away without damaging the routed edge.
I get a equate benadryl anti itch spray from Walmart. You can also use the normal pills you can get from any pharmacy or walmart in the medicine aisle.
@@rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836 Thanks for the tip. I ended up buying the dremel router bit kit and the dremel plunge router attachment. Got setup already used it for about 3 hours today money well spent. Could've spent 100-200 on a router I may not even use that much
As long as you have the right bit so that way you get good edges and I'mthinking work from the outside in on the cavities. And if you do make sure you have a really good grip on it with gloves and have the speed all the way up or the recommended speed in the user manual for your type of wood. But I believe it would be a great use for the dremel. Especially since it does just a little at a time and you can keep a good eye on your work. Wear safety glasses when using the router and be in good light so you can get the good close look.
Where did you get the rpm of 30000 to 35000? I use my Dremel 4000 for many tasks. Never needed to go much past 23000. For polishing I use like 8000 to 10000
Yes just make sure you get the straight routing bits and I believe it would be just fine. And they have multiple sizes of the straight ones that will work for you various applications.
Sorry about the late reply. But even thought you try to get it exactly by matching it, since it is such a small routing bit you really need a test piece of wood to make sure. I wish it was a little bit easier but since it is so small its not.
Well a lot of things has to be explained at first for the sake of answering most questions at the beginning and not in comments. And 13 minutes is not too long of leisure time either to watch and listen to all information even if repetitive it is all vital to the use of it. And theres no other video on TH-cam showing any use of dremel router bits that I am aware of.
You should use a spiral cutting bit if you are talking about cutting a piece of wood in half. And these bits wouldn't be able to take the work load unless it was like craft wood or something
As long as you take your time and make sure it is rotating at the right speed or high enough you shouldn't have a problem. I haven't had a problem as long as your taking time and practice before hand. Sorry I didn't get to your comment earlier.
Most power tools will if you force it through the work. The idea is to back off a bit and then continue the work. Otherwise, get near enough to the line you're supposed to draw with the tool, then go back with a rasp/file and/or sand paper to take out the burns and other deformaties.
honestly.... I saw the bee and I thought... He's gonna get bit isn't he.... and yup... you did. Sorry you got bit though I was kind of hoping the bee would leave you alone.
When I use my Dremel it feels like I'm using a toy. Low quality components make for an unreliable tool. Need I add attachment bits are unreasonably expensive? There's like $4 worth of parts & Dremel charges somewhere around $80 for the device. There's $0.10 in the bits, and ... well, you know how expensive bits are. & they don't last. They wear out fast. You can buy a rotary drill for $15 that has the same quantity of components as a Dremel. My people call that a "rip-off."
Alberto Estrella hey the main thing is that you are making a video with the Dremel Router tool that's what counts Brother F.T.R. just get a workbench that's all. first time for everything for everyone that's how they all learned even the pros O.K. head up .

Yes I am currently living in Colorado for college at Charis Bible College and live in an apartment. So I am currently not able to use my resources I'm hoping to be able to make a video on Christmas break when I go home if not I will be actively working on the channel next June. Thank you for your comment please stay subscribed and notifications on for next time I am able to post.
Safety is definitely out the window here!! Flip flops first. It looked so close to the router getting him, the way he was swinging it around. Secondly. Don't ever change or adjust your bits with the tool plugged in! Your hands are right next to the power switch while doing this. It would be so easy to flip the switch by accident and cause a major gash in your hand. Have seen it happen on construction sites. Read the manual first for safety precautions. It pretty much covers all hazards you may run into.
@@richardunrath2250 THANK YOU. This fellow, bless him seems a bit over-enthusiastic about sharing new interests. This is the 2nd "how to" video he's made without seeming to have learned how to himself. It terrifies me to think that he might one day try to make a tutorial on "how to use an angle grinder".
I was hoping you were accurate about the word "bits" plural; i thought you were going to demonstrate the dremel bits. Bit would have been more accurate. Still, good effort. Thanks
Just confirmed that the dremel is really a terrible router, You need something with at least a 500w motor to even cut small round-overs and chamfers. They work better for shaping wood with the sanding drums.
I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.
Even though it may be annoying don't stare at my toe the Bee stung. but if you are interested you can see it swell up it hurt for about 2 days.
Rotary Tool Creations & DIY that toe is pretty gnarly looking, should've taken the dremel to it and cut it off
Scotty Weißmüller haha yeah first time ever stung by a bee
Bet that bee won’t do THAT again...she doesn’t have the guts anymore...🐝
baking soda made into a paste always for bee stings. It will soften and the stinger will come out. Ouch!
I had a wasp hit the back of my upper arm. When I looked down itwas struggling to get out. Poor thing hit so hard he was stuck. I started to reach for it. Thought better & grabbed it with my shirt to pull it out.
Then I wasn't quick enough to kill it with a nearby rock & it flew off in a wobbly pattern looking drunk.
Afterwards my mom made compress from a cigarette & I loaded down on Benadryl big time.
I had a huge red mark but little pain.
I love how this is two “how to” videos in one; how to use the router attachment and how to treat a bee sting. 😃
Cheers!
Just bought this Dremel with this exact attachment. Thank you for the tips. Seriously appreciate you.
Always move the router against the rotation if you don't it can grip and walk it away from you. Always do the end-grain first to prevent tear out
+James Reed Thanks I'll keep that in mind
Can you explain what you mean for a beginner? Seems to me like whatever direction you move is going against the rotation?
@@zacharygee9774 Like a orbital sander, if you just let it rest against the wood with a light hold you can feel it wants to move forward in one direction, I think he is saying move in the opposite direction to where the router wants to naturally go so you're more in control.
I didn't know Dremel had such fine attachments, however, I always clamp my work to something stable. I think the dremel is a tool that requires two hands.
I finally got a flex shaft for the dremel and it was a tremendous help. Depends on what projects each one is a new task to figure out what works best
@@rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836 How is your Dremel now? Did you have any problems?
Waiting on your next video and where’s the Murphy bed? Did I miss it?
Thanks
The plunge router and tabletop accessories are pretty handy if u actually need them occasionally, compared to spending the $$ on a dedicated router. And for beestings I suggest immediately cutting a fresh onion and applying that to the area as the juice neutralizes the venom. It’s an old Polish remedy but I can confirm it actually does work. Yes I was skeptical about it too.
Urine works as well, great on jellyfish stings too. It's the ammonia in the urine that does the work.

Me too 😂and I’m talking bout two years too 😳😆
A bee got into my trouser pocket once. Stung the captain.
Just thought I'd share. You know, as long as we're not talking about Dremels.
Oh wow that sounds a difficult day haha
I get a scrap piece of wood and line it up next to my working piece leaving enough space between to easily use the router bit. That keeps the collar perfectly level and prevents gouging especially at the corners.

Love the safety here!!. The dremmel could easily slip the way he's using it and cause a lot more damage than a bee sting to those bare toes
2:50 I saw that bee buzzing around earlier, when you were out of the frame, and I was thinking "Oh noes!"
Great work mate!!
I really wish I saw more videos or Christian craft creations DIY stuff!

Clamping might be a good safety option me thinks!
Lol
Excellent... Greetings from Argentina
I would upvote twice if I could. One for the Dremel video and one for the live bee sting attack!

Oh thank you! I recorded this video close to a year ago on a hurry because I was moving to Colorado in the next couple days
I have, and been using my dremel, and haven't bought the router bits yet. I don't like that it's leaving a burn mark on the wood. Can this be avoided?
Yes I was going slow for the demonstration. You can go faster and avoid it all routers do it. And if need be you can take sand paper and pretty much wipe it away without damaging the routed edge.
It is true every time I use dremel wood smoke. Tried on all speeds but till now could not get success on single project with dremel.
You're supposed to go slower, also you can't go any direction with router bits
I thought you had to always go in a certain direction otherwise you would take chunks out?
Isn't this it a video of what not to do?😂❤
Where do you get the Benadryl?
I get a equate benadryl anti itch spray from Walmart. You can also use the normal pills you can get from any pharmacy or walmart in the medicine aisle.
Will this go over a curved edge? At the top of my piece the wood has a slight curve before coming back straight?
Yeah you should not have a problem with it just make sure you have enough control going around the edge so it doesn't slip.
@@rotarytoolcreationsdiy6836 Thanks for the tip. I ended up buying the dremel router bit kit and the dremel plunge router attachment. Got setup already used it for about 3 hours today money well spent. Could've spent 100-200 on a router I may not even use that much
Yeah it's a lot more fun having something you can work with and enjoy a hobby with.
You can crush a benedryl pill and mix with a cream also on bee stings. Cut a potato also and place on the sting area to help remove poison.
I've never heard of using a potato but I'll give that a try if I get a chance ever again
Will this route out cavities? I'm building my first guitar and not sure to get a proper router or this as it has many more uses..

KitcatCaroline ! Polishing should be around 5k glass and ceramics (cutting/drilling) need closer to 30,000
Always have it turned up on harder wood. The higher speeds insure it want catch wood
What model dremel are you using? Looks pretty neat!
It's the dremel 4000
Rotary Tool Creations & DIY cheers. Ive got the cordless version I think. They are really good tools!
I want a routing bit that cuts all the way through the wood at small complex shapes. Will this work?
Yes just make sure you get the straight routing bits and I believe it would be just fine. And they have multiple sizes of the straight ones that will work for you various applications.
Wouldn’t you put the bit against the wood and gauge it before hand?
Sorry about the late reply. But even thought you try to get it exactly by matching it, since it is such a small routing bit you really need a test piece of wood to make sure. I wish it was a little bit easier but since it is so small its not.
What speed do you run these bits at? Thanks for the video!
The faster the better especially on hardwoods. Unless you have softer wood.
that there is some flash pluggers mate.. single or double?
Can I route without the Port? I need expand a tremolo cavity on a guitar it is a cramped space and minor work.
You could you might lose some control. You could also see about using a wood burr to then sand it down
Rotary Tool Creations & DIY that's an idea, thanks

Hi Can you use this on plywood to make cuts?
You should use a spiral cutting bit if you are talking about cutting a piece of wood in half. And these bits wouldn't be able to take the work load unless it was like craft wood or something

It’s burning the wood.
Most power tools will if you force it through the work. The idea is to back off a bit and then continue the work. Otherwise, get near enough to the line you're supposed to draw with the tool, then go back with a rasp/file and/or sand paper to take out the burns and other deformaties.
honestly.... I saw the bee and I thought... He's gonna get bit isn't he.... and yup... you did. Sorry you got bit though I was kind of hoping the bee would leave you alone.
Speed set way too high. Wood is getting burned.
Yeah I noticed but not too big of an issue a little sanding can't fix. And we're always learning on this channel.
